The billionaire's bride contract

A contract brought them together. A spark they never expected might tear them apart. Ava Sinclair’s architecture firm is crumbling, and with it, her dreams. But when a cold, dangerously attractive billionaire offers her a lifeline—in the form of a one-year marriage contract—she’s faced with an impossible choice: her pride, or her future. Luca Moretti needs a wife. Not for love, but for power. With his empire on the line, marrying Ava is the quickest way to silence his board, claim his inheritance, and move on. No emotions. No entanglements. Just business. But behind the public smiles and private tension, something unexpected begins to grow. A flicker of trust. A flash of jealousy. A kiss that feels too real. And when secrets from both their pasts come to light, they’ll have to decide if one year is all they’ll ever have—or just the beginning of something real. A sizzling slow-burn romance about lies, longing, and the love you never saw coming.
