Description：

Lana Sterling doesn't marry for love—she marries for direct deposit. Her deal with billionaire CEO Adrian Sterling is simple: he gets a gorgeous wife on his arm, and she gets an Unlimited Centurion Black Card, a luxury life, and a six-figure monthly allowance. Mistresses? Please. As long as the money clears, Lana is more than happy to ignore the lipstick, the late nights, and the endless parade of women who think they matter.

Then one of Adrian's women shows up at her door, old flames start returning, and the Sterling family's polished image begins to crack. What looks like a shameless open marriage turns into something far more dangerous—a nest of lies, power plays, and blood-soaked secrets hiding behind designer suits and society smiles. Because Adrian's cheating playboy act may be exactly that: an act. And Lana may be standing at the center of a war she was never supposed to see.

Now, with a murderous matriarch, a revenge-driven heir, and a family empire built on stolen identities and buried bodies closing in, Lana has to decide what's more dangerous: taking the money and walking away... or staying close enough to learn the truth about the man she married.

She signed up to be a rich man's decorative wife. She never expected to become the most unpredictable piece on the board. And when the masks finally come off, will Lana cash out in time—or end up as collateral in the Sterlings' deadly game?
