Elise Stanton has one dream: to study medicine. When she earns a coveted spot in medical school, her future seems bright—until her parents present her with an ultimatum. The only way they’ll pay her tuition is if she marries Alejandro Mendoza, the disabled heir to a powerful family. “Marry a stranger for money? Is that the price of my freedom?” Elise protests, her voice trembling with frustration. “Clara gets her luxuries handed to her, but I have to sell my life to pursue my dream?” In her family’s eyes, she is always second-best, a shadow to her younger sister, Clara. Left with no other choice, Elise agrees to her parents’ condition. Then she meets Alejandro Mendoza. Confined to a wheelchair, Alejandro is bitter and guarded, his piercing gaze a wall against the world. But when Elise examines his condition, her sharp medical instincts kick in. “The doctors had a wrong diagnosis,” she insists. “Your condition is reversible.” Alejandro narrows his eyes. “Why are you doing this? What do you want?” Her answer is simple: “I’ll help you recover, and when you can walk again, this marriage ends.”

Being born into a family that formed THE FIVE , I had one expectation. I was engaged at birth to a man I knew nothing about. it was a way for the founding families to siphon their business deals and keep their wealth revolving around them. I was engaged to Santiago Russo before I could walk. On my eighteenth birthday, my father threw a party to introduce us— a fiance I'd never met before. Except this time I was hit with the biggest plot twist. Luca Russo, the city's eligible bachelor and ruthless billionaire who was also happened to be Santiago's uncle asked for my hand in marriage.
