She wakes from a nightmare where love turns into a cage—and death is always at the end. Johanna Hart has built a life of hard edges: a secret racing legend, a brilliant young professor, and a member of a tight-knit covert team that only uses eleven-digit handles. The only thing she didn't plan for was a handsome, impossible CEO with a soldier's discipline forcing himself into her life. Camden Craig is a rumor in suits: ex-special forces, now the ruthless heir of Craig Industries. He tracks her down after a roadside near-miss and a mysterious chase. When he offers a marriage-of-convenience to block a family-arranged match and protect her outwardly fragile future, Johanna takes the paperwork—and a dangerous bargain—on her terms. They sign the certificate, but nothing stays tidy. Nightmares bleed into real memories, rivals sniff around her family, and enemies within and outside the racing world threaten to burn everything down. He thinks he bought a temporary ally. She thinks she bought the cover to get back what was stolen. Both of them will discover they mispriced the stakes: marriage was only the start.
