The Billionaire's Only Exception
ContemporaryFirst-Person POVCEOIntelligentSecretaryContract MarriageLove-Triangle
She barged into the wrong elevator and changed his whole life.
Keegan Blackwood is the reclusive billionaire no one dares to approach. They call him cold, ruthless, untouchable, but the truth is far darker, he is deadly allergic to human touch as one brush of skin against his can send him into excruciating pain. Until Nara Quinn. The bold, fiery beauty who refused to fear him and the only woman whose touch doesn’t destroy him. Now she’s his new assistant and the only person who can get close without breaking him. But time is running out, because a clause in his parents’ will demands he marries before turning thirty, or he loses his entire empire. Everyone expects him to marry the elegant Isabella Langford. Instead, the untouchable billionaire makes a dangerous offer to Nara Quinn: A contract marriage. One year. Her rules. His control. She gets everything she could ever want. He gets the only woman he can touch. But in a game of power, obsession, and forbidden desire… some contracts are impossible to walk away from.

Chapter: Chapter Five: A Fire in the Cold RoomKeegan's POVYesterday’s elevator disaster kept replaying in my head like a bad song.I had been trying to get to my car without dealing with anyone, just a quick ride down in my private elevator. Then this woman marched in like she owned the damn thing.For one single, stupid second, I was stunned. She was striking with a unique eye color, confident posture and the kind of presence that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not.She didn’t even hesitate, she just slammed her leg in the door, stepped inside, and started talking.My brain actually short-circuited. Then reality slammed back in. I couldn’t be close to anyone so I shouted at her to get out. Most people would have bolted, but she didn’t. She called me crazy to my face and even had the nerve to say I was handsome.Too bad you’re crazy, because you’re actually handsome.The nerve.I shook the memory away as I sat at my desk on the raised platform. I had already taken my extra antihistamines and put on fresh glo

Chapter: Chapter Four: My Boss is a Handsome LunaticNara's POVI woke up at 6:15 AM even though my alarm was set for 6:30. My brain wouldn’t let me sleep as today was day one of the new job, and after yesterday’s disasters, I refused to mess this up.I took a quick shower, dried my dark hair, and stood in front of my closet for way too long. I finally picked a crisp white blouse with a fitted black pencil skirt that reached just below my knees, and my only decent pair of black heels.I kept my makeup natural nothing too much. I wanted to look professional, not like I was trying too hard. After tying my hair into a clean bun, I stared at myself in the mirror, my light amber eyes staring right back at me.“You need this job, Nara. Keep your mouth under control.” I told my reflection.I grabbed my bag and headed to the kitchen, hoping for something quick to eat. The moment I opened the fridge, I already knew it was empty. Just a few sad condiments and an almost finished carton of milk.Jake walked in right then, scratching his stomach und

Chapter: Chapter Three: Pretty, Rich and Out of His MindNara's POVI walked out of the conference room with the job offer in my hand and my head spinning.The woman had introduced herself as Linda and the guy, John. “You start tomorrow at eight,” Linda said. “Mr. Blackwood will actually be in the office for a short while, so you’ll get to meet him then.”I blinked. “Wait… that’s it? No second interview?”John shrugged with an embarrassed smile. “We're desperate. The last assistant lasted nine days, but you seem tough enough. Sign the papers and you’re in.”I nodded, still trying to process everything. I signed everything they put in front of me. The salary made my eyes go wide as it was more than what I expected, plus health insurance and a monthly transport allowance if I needed itSweet.I spent the next hour in onboarding and for the first time since Jake dropped his bomb this morning, I felt like I could breathe.But then came the weird part.“So… when do I meet Mr. Blackwood?” I asked.Linda glanced at her colleague before answering.

Chapter: Chapter Two: Cheats, Debts and BillionairesNara's POVI was already running late when Jake started talking.I stood in the middle of our tiny living room with one heel on and the other in my hand as I tried to fix the strap. My black pencil skirt was a little tight, but it was the best interview outfit I had. Today had to go right because I needed this job like I needed air.Jake sat on the couch with his hands between his knees, not looking at me. “Nara. We need to talk.”I frowned because I hated that tone. “Can it wait? I have the interview in forty minutes.”He shook his head. “No, it can’t.”I straightened up and stared at him. “Then say it fast.”Jake rubbed the back of his neck, the way he always did when he was nervous. “I’ve been seeing someone else for a couple months now. It’s… serious. So I think we should break up.”The words hit me like cold water. I blinked once, then twice. “You’re joking.”“I’m not.” He finally looked up. “Look, you’re too much, Nara. You’re always reading these big books, correcting people, t

Chapter: Chapter One: Tragic BillionaireKeegan’s POVI stood in the long verandah outside my private wing with my arms crossed tight over my chest. The rest of the mansion was all fancy lights and expensive furniture for guests I never invited.The air had been filtered twice and the windows were shut tight just as I liked it. I hated surprises and made sure everything around me was the way I needed it.Dr. Sterling stood a few feet away, looking at me in that careful way he always did, like I might break if he said the wrong thing.He had his white coat on and his stethoscope hanging over his neck. He was in in his sixties and his dark hair was quickly turning gray. “Keegan, let’s try the new protocol today. We'll make use of your wrist with just two seconds of contact and we believe the meds we gave you an hour ago should keep the reaction smaller this time.”I didn’t answer right away.My black leather gloves felt like an armor to me and I hated taking them off. Hated even thinking about it. “You said the same shit last

Chapter: ProloguePrologueThe night breeze felt cold against my damp skin, sending goosebumps across my arms and shoulders as I stood frozen at the edge of the pool. My black top and short shorts was dripping wet and was clinging to every curve of my body and water dripped from my hair down my back.The towel I held felt suddenly useless in my hand.Keegan Blackwood stood only a few feet away from me looking different under the moonlight. He looked less like the cold, untouchable billionaire I worked for and more like a man.He was wearing black trousers and a fitted dark t-shirt that stretched across his broad chest and muscular arms and his striking blue eyes were locked onto me with an intensity that made my stomach twist.The air between us felt thick, heavy and charged with something I couldn’t name.“You’re doing it again,” I whispered, my voice softer than I wanted it to be.Mr Blackwood took one slow step closer. “Doing what?”“Looking at me like that,” I breathed. “Like you’re trying to figur
