Chapter 1
Irina Sloan is a young kindergarten teacher who is barely getting by while her mother fights a devastating illness. Debts are drowning her, and she sees no way out... until Jonathan Welles, the enigmatic father of one of her students, offers to hire her to care for his son over the summer.
What seemed like a relief soon gets complicated: the boy’s custody is at risk, and Jonathan proposes an unthinkable solution—a contract marriage.
It was supposed to be a temporary agreement, but it unleashes emotions, tension, and a bond stronger than they ever imagined.
