To save her late grandmother's bakery, Lila marries a stranger named Silas in a paper-only deal—both hiding secrets. He carries her flour, stands by her side, but never reveals who he really is. Until the dessert gala, when a rival frames her in front of the entire city. Silas steps onto the stage, and the room goes silent: he's Sinclair—the most powerful man in the city. A contract marriage, a twenty-year fate sealed by a lemon tart.
