Description

Declan Kane is determined to inherit his family’s media empire, but his grandfather’s will attaches an unwelcome condition: Declan must marry and produce an heir. His capable assistant, Iris, proposes a practical solution—a marriage of convenience governed by clear terms and designed to satisfy the requirement. Once the agreement places them under one roof, however, maintaining a convincing public relationship makes it harder to preserve their familiar professional boundaries. Declan’s reserve and relentless ambition collide with Iris’s warmth, independence, and knowledge of the man behind his corporate image. This contemporary workplace romance uses forced proximity and a contractual marriage to explore control, vulnerability, family expectations, and feelings that refuse to remain a business arrangement.
