In a city where every broken promise blooms as a black mark on your skin, Iris Vance has stayed spotless for thirty-one years by promising almost nothing. To keep her late father's firm she needs a paper husband; Adrian Cole, heir to a marked family's scandal, needs a respectable wife. They sign a loveless one-year contract, then remember at the altar that a wedding vow is a promise this city writes on flesh.
