The Contract Bride

Julian Sterling is Manhattan royalty. Brooding, impossibly wealthy, and cold as a midwinter frost. When his late grandfather's trust locks his CEO voting shares behind a mandatory marriage clause, he offers me an ultimatum I can't refuse:

One year of fake public bliss. Five million dollars. And the deed to my late grandmother's heritage design studio free and clear.

The rules were simple:

• Rule 1: Separate wings in his glass penthouse on Park Avenue.
• Rule 2: Flawless public affection under the paparazzi flashes.
• Rule 3: Absolutely no falling in love.

Except nobody warned me about the heat behind Julian's slate-blue eyes, or the way his possessive touch makes my pulse roar like wildfire. When forced proximity shatters our boundaries, our fake arrangement burns into a scorching obsession.

But in Julian's world of sharks, someone is waiting to tear us apart. When a vicious frame job brands me as a corporate spy, will the cold billionaire believe the evidence... or the woman wearing his ring?
