Tech executive Ava Sterling faces an aggressive takeover that threatens her green energy company unless she marries to secure vital voting rights. On a red-eye flight to Manhattan, she propositions Ethan Grey, an unassuming passenger who initially refuses her before pointing out a regulatory loophole that saves her bid. When Ethan is publicly dumped by his socialite fiancée hours later, Ava offers him a contractual marriage, unaware that her plain-spoken groom is secretly Wall Street’s most elusive venture capitalist.
Their convenient alliance shifts when Ava discovers Ethan’s investment fund bankrolled the faulty technology responsible for her father’s death. Balancing high-stakes boardroom combat with intense personal attraction, Ava must expose corporate malfeasance without destroying the company she built or the enigmatic partner she is beginning to cherish.
