contractmarriage

"Sign the contract, play the perfect wife for one year, and I'll save your father's company. But don't mistake this for kindness, Miss Hartley. I despise everything you represent." Natalie Hartley once had everything—until her father's business partner embezzled millions and framed him for it. Now her father is dying of a stress-induced heart condition, their pharmaceutical company is being seized, and their family name is synonymous with fraud. She has three weeks before her father loses everything he built—including his will to live. Enter Dominic Ashford: the youngest billionaire CEO in Chicago, a self-made tech mogul whose empire spans three continents, and the man who hates her family with every fiber of his being. His younger sister died eight years ago from a medication error involving a drug manufactured by Hartley Pharmaceuticals. Dominic blamed Natalie's father and has spent nearly a decade systematically destroying every business the Hartley family touches. But Dominic has a problem. His grandfather's will states that to maintain control of Ashford Technologies, he must be married by his thirty-second birthday—three weeks away. His board of directors, tired of his ruthless methods, wants him gone. They've found a loophole, and they're ready to exploit it. Natalie and Dominic need each other. She needs his resources to save her father. He needs a wife to save his empire. The contract is simple: One year of marriage. Public appearances as the perfect couple. Separate bedrooms. No emotions. No questions about the past. When the year ends, they divorce quietly, and both get what they want. Natalie signs in her father's hospital room, ink still wet when Dominic's cold lips brush her hand with contempt disguised as affection for the watching nurses. But someone is watching their contract marriage very closely—Dominic's enemies in the corporate underworld who've been waiting for the ice king to finally show a crack in his armor. The moment they realize Dominic Ashford actually cares about his contract wife, the death threats begin. First, it's her brakes failing on Lake Shore Drive. Then a near-miss with a falling air conditioning unit. A break-in at the penthouse that Dominic's security barely stops in time. Someone wants Natalie dead. And they want Dominic to suffer watching it happen. Now Dominic faces an impossible choice: let her go and watch his only weakness become his greatest regret, or protect her and prove to the world that the man who swore he'd never love again would burn Chicago to the ground for his contract wife. They thought marriage was their solution. They didn't realize it made them both targets.

#BEASTTAMING #BLOODLINE #ADVENTURE Rebirth after death is already a miracle… But rebirth as a rabbit, the prey of both low-rank and high-rank beasts? Now that’s not even luck, that’s punishment. Linda Ein is born again—but in the Beast World—as a tiny, fluffy, high-value snack in a world full of predators. She discovers that the beastmen here suffer from a strange disorder that makes them shift uncontrollably between human and beast depending on their emotions, instincts, stress, or even random habits. They have no idea why this happens. But they assume it’s because their world lacks females, and that various mates for each of them will magically “fix” everything. Unfortunately for Linda and fortunately for them, Linda—now a rabbit—is the rarest female they’ve ever seen.  But Linda had one advantage no other creature had: in her previous life, she came from a family of generational zoologists, people who studied animals and passed it down to their offsprings the way other families passed down carpentry or smithing. She knew animal behavior, instincts, patterns, tricks. And this Beast World was simply… a very large, very chaotic research site. So when the beastmen begged her to stay, she lifted her rabbit ears and declared: “Perfection begins with giving me my own house.” “Done!”
“I need a store too. Beside it.” “Done!” “And… a generous supply of carrots delivered regularly. Two trucks a week isn’t bad.” “…..Done!” “Also, someone please tell that 1000-year-old flying snake to stop circling my roof.” “…” Suddenly, beastmen of all tribes are lining up, begging her…. “Queen Rabbit, please stay with me so I can stabilize!” “Me too!” “I want your presence too!” “Queen Rabbit, choose me!” Linda raises a paw. “Enough. I hear you. But this Queen Rabbit is a STEPMOTHER now so,….”
