About This Book
A marriage of convenience between a coldhearted billionaire and the assistant who knows him better than anyone sounds straightforward enough — until it isn't. Declan needs a wife to secure his inheritance and his place as CEO; Iris needs a reason to be brave. What unfolds between them is less a business transaction and more a slow dismantling of every wall Declan has spent years constructing. The emotional stakes here are real: two people who have written careful rules to protect themselves, discovering that rules are only useful until feelings aren't.
Lauren Asher writes this kind of romance with sharp wit and genuine emotional intelligence, balancing banter-heavy scenes against quieter moments that actually land. The dual perspective structure lets readers sit inside both characters' heads simultaneously, which creates a particular kind of tension — you understand exactly why each of them is holding back, which makes every step forward feel earned. The pacing is confident, the chemistry is slow-burning without being frustrating, and Asher knows when to let a scene breathe. It rewards readers who enjoy watching characters resist something they clearly want.
