contractmarriage

Liora Hale has spent a decade plotting revenge against the man who ruined her family. Adrian Everhart, the cold, arrogant billionaire CEO of Everhart Global, personally signed off on the hostile takeover that bankrupted her father’s company and shattered her world. She never forgot. She never forgave. Now she works under him recommended straight to his desk by the very team that praised her talent. From their first clash, sparks fly: sharp words, defiant stares, and a loathing so thick it’s almost electric. Adrian is intrigued by the one woman who refuses to bow. Liora is determined to destroy him. When a crucial merger with old-money traditionalists requires proof of “stability,” Adrian proposes the unthinkable: pose as his fiancée for one month. Promotion, power, and a front-row seat to his empire in exchange. She says yes, not for love, but for vengeance. Fake dates. Shared suites. “Practice” touches that linger too long. Every staged smile and charged glance brings her closer to the proof she needs to expose him. But the closer she gets, the more she sees: the fatigue behind his steel-gray eyes, the quiet protectiveness in his commands, the way he says her name like it’s a secret he’s keeping from himself. As evidence piles up and the lines between hate and desire blur, Liora faces the ultimate test: finish the revenge she’s lived for… or risk falling for the billionaire she swore to loathe forever. Enemies by blood. Fiancés by contract. What happens when revenge starts feeling like surrender?

But this marriage of convenience will be anything but convenient. *** "And you smell good," I interrupted, words tumbling out before I could stop them. "Really good. Like winter but not the terrifying kind. The beautiful kind. With snow and—" I scrunched my nose, grasping for the description. "Those delicate frost patterns that appear on glass." Mikhail produced a sound deep in his chest that could've been a growl or a chuckle or something caught between. "Why are there two staircases?" I blurted suddenly, fixating on the duplicated grand stairway looming before us. "Is this intentional? Seems ridiculously excessive." "There's only one staircase, moya." "Are you certain? Because I'm definitely seeing two. Perhaps you require vision correction. Do lycans need glasses? That would be hilarious. Tiny spectacles perched on a massive terrifying wolf—" "Selene." His voice emerged strained, taut in a manner that penetrated even through my fog. "You need to stop talking." I peered up at him, hurt piercing through the pleasant haze. "Why? Am I irritating you? I'm sorry. I'll stay quiet." "No." The word escaped sharp, nearly anguished. "You're not irritating me. You're—" He severed the sentence, jaw clenching so viciously I witnessed the muscle twitch. "Just... rest." But I didn't want rest. I wanted to comprehend why his expression appeared like that—all rigid and ravenous and something else I couldn't identify. "Are you alright?" I asked, raising my hand toward his jaw. He intercepted my wrist before contact, his hold gentle yet unyielding. "Don't." "Why not?" "Because I'm barely maintaining control as it is, and if you touch me right now—" He halted abruptly, eyes compressing shut momentarily. "Just don't." That should've frightened me. The ferocity in his tone, the way his restraint appeared to unravel at the seams. But intoxicated-me simply smiled, inexplicably pleased. Then I caught the way his gaze dropped. Just for a fraction of a heartbeat. To my mouth. Heat bloomed through my chest, spreading like wildfire. "You want to kiss me," I breathed, the revelation making me giddy. His eyes snapped back to mine, glacial blue turned predatory. "Kissing," he said slowly, voice dropping an octave, "doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what I want to do to you." The air left my lungs. His grip on my wrist shifted, thumb finding my pulse point. Pressing there. Feeling the frantic rhythm he'd caused. "Kissing is gentle," he continued, leaning in just enough that his breath ghosted across my lips. Close enough to take. Close enough to claim. But he didn't. "Kissing is sweet. What I want?" His eyes dragged down my face, my throat, lower then back up with deliberate slowness. "There's nothing gentle about it."

She didn't plan to summon a demon. She planned to survive the night. When Lyra Voss watches her own fiancé marry her sister at an altar she was supposed to stand at — then gets arrested for a crime her uncle spent months building against her — survival stops being a figure of speech. Framed, abandoned, and locked out of everything she ever called home, she finds the only thing left in her possession: her grandmother's journal, a summoning ritual, and the desperate kind of courage that doesn't feel like courage at all. What answers her blood isn't what she expected. Kael is ancient, impossibly still, and bound to her side for one year by a contract written in her own blood. He speaks like a lawyer and moves like something that has never needed to hurry because it has always been the most dangerous thing in the room. He promises her two things: her name cleared, and everyone who touched her life made to regret it. In exchange, he wants only one thing from her. The truth. Always. What neither of them anticipates is what a year under the same roof does to indifference. How pretending becomes practicing. How practicing becomes real. How a woman who stopped trusting her own heart learns to read his — and discovers that a creature who has lived three thousand years in perfect, ruthless control has never once in all that time felt anything like this. The contract has an expiration date. Their feelings don't. The Devil I Called Husband is a slow-burn paranormal romance about the bargains we make when we're broken, the people who stay even when nothing requires them to, and what happens when the fine print of a blood contract turns out to be the least binding thing between two people who were never supposed to fall in love.

And a credit card with no limit. Beckett Harlow doesn't want a wife. He wants his inheritance. His dying father's will is brutally simple — marry within six months or watch the billion-dollar Harlow empire pass to a cousin who'll burn it to the ground.

They're both wrong. They just don't know it yet. What starts as a transaction — signed, sealed, strategically airtight — cracks open the moment they're forced to actually live together. Because you can't share a kitchen at 2 a.m., carry someone inside when they've fallen asleep in the car, or hold a man's hand in the doorway of his dead brother's life without the contract becoming irrelevant. The elite world they're navigating is vicious, the opposition is relentless, and the clock is always running. But the real war isn't in the boardroom. It's in the space between two people who agreed to perform love and accidentally started feeling it. Terms and Conditions: Love Not Included is a slow-burn romance about what happens when the deal expires and neither party wants to leave — 140 chapters of tension, tenderness, and the quiet devastation of falling for someone you were never supposed to keep. The terms were simple. The feelings didn't get the memo.
