contractmarriage

Emma Sterling spent years believing she would never be safe. She survived a violent relationship with Jake Morrison, and on the night she finally ran, she had nothing but the clothes she was wearing and a desperate hope that someone would believe her. Now she is building something from that night. The Sterling Foundation gives women a place to start over, and Emma has poured everything she has into it. But the work is costly, and Emma is about to learn how high the price can be. Then she meets Alexander Sterling, a billionaire who has never wanted a wife. Their marriage begins as a contract, a practical arrangement that protects Emma and gives Alexander’s family the stability they want. Neither of them expects it to become real. But real feelings bring real danger. Old enemies come back, and threats start arriving by mail and phone calls. A pregnancy ends in heartbreak, and a second child arrives far too early, forcing Emma to fight for her baby’s life while still fighting for every survivor who depends on her. As the foundation grows, so does the opposition. Powerful men try to silence Emma with blackmail and lawsuits. She has to testify before Congress, face hostile questions, and decide how much of her own pain she is willing to share with the world. Alexander has to face his own battles, including a painful rift with his father and a question he has never had to answer before: who is he without his family’s company? Emma’s story is about survival, love, and the courage it takes to keep speaking when silence would be easier. It is about a woman who learns that surviving is not the same as living, and that healing can be as hard as the fight that came before it.

(Daily updates for September) ***fixing the files, do not open the priv**** Silas knew that being born as an omega meant his life wouldn't have many choices—unless you came from a privileged family, where your trait didn't matter and you could live comfortably. When a baron adopted him, Silas saw a glimmer of hope and vowed to repay the man he called father. However, though it was better than life in the orphanage, Silas knew he would never truly belong to the family. He was groomed to obey, and his adoptive father planned to use him to expand connections with noble families. As he grew older, his father repeatedly offered him in marriage to the son of a grand duke, an alpha, only to be rejected every single time. Eventually, just before the grand duke's son left for military service, his father received an answer: the grand duke's son agreed to the connection—but only on the condition that Silas would be a consort. It wasn't uncommon for alphas to have multiple consorts, though it wasn't what Silas desired. Still, as an omega, this was the only way he could repay the baron's kindness. * Silas remembered what Alric was like back when they were at the academy. Cold, quiet, and someone who despised omegas. He knew what kind of fate awaited him and gave up on the kind of love he often read about in books. After all, real life wasn't the same as the fantasies penned by writers. Instead, Silas decided to prepare himself for decorating the "cage" he would live in—a life filled with the constant refrain of "at least, at least, at least." He would get used to it. He had to. But something felt different. Why was Alric treating him so differently now compared to the way he had back in school? Alric's eyes were filled with a tenderness and sorrow that Silas couldn't understand. It was the kind of look that made Silas want to hold him close. — (Read the info for more additions)

Facing a death sentence with no one to turn to, Evelyn made the most desperate choice of her life — she threw herself at the one person Julian would never forgive. His younger brother.
