Description: Mina Bennett has spent her entire life believing a mysterious system will erase her at twenty-five unless she makes billionaire founder Adrian Hale fall in love with her. With one year left and no interest in manipulating a stranger, Mina calmly begins planning her own funeral instead. Then a collapse puts Adrian-her handsome new neighbor-at her hospital bedside, and within days he proposes a strictly contractual marriage. The mission suddenly registers as complete, but Mina's strange sense of déjà vu only grows. Hidden memories, frightened loved ones, and a face from her past eventually reveal a devastating truth: the "system" was never what she believed it was, and Adrian has been protecting her far longer than she remembers. A tender, darkly emotional romance about trauma, reconstructed memory, patient devotion, and choosing life again.
