He promised her the world, Then, abandoned her at the altar.

Anne
I’m a realist, cynical about falling in love. Until I met Declan - the rich and powerful player. With his quiet determination, he dismantled my cynicism and made me believe. Before I know it, I’m flashing a radiant smile, dressed, and eagerly awaiting him at the altar. Only, I got the text - \"I'm not coming\" – shattering my world. Regret is a waste of time; I stand by my original convictions. Years later, he’s back demanding a second chance, how dare he?

Declan
I shook on the agreement without hesitation because I had zero plans to marry for love. Ever. Years later, Anne crashed into my life. I find myself craving what I thought I didn't need or want. Unexpectedly, the agreement I made resurfaced, presenting me with a as agreed or Lose Anne forever. Deal accepted, regardless of hurting Anne. When I find Anne again, she’s engaged, far as I’m concerned, she’s still mine. I’ll cheat, steal, and fight before I let Anne marry another. All is fair in love and war. And this is war… hope he’s ready to fight?

The Handshake Agreement is a contemporary an age gap, second chance romance with a Possessive MMC.
