Where Can I Read Contractually Yours Free Online?

Flipping through different editions of 'Contractually Yours' gives you a buffet of romantic types, and one of the clearest examples is Nadia Lee’s take: a sassy jewelry heiress who rigs a marriage-for-power deal and a ruthless CEO who’s furious about being forced into it. In Lee’s version the hero is Sebastian Lasker and the heroine is drawn as a notorious heiress who intends to use marriage to secure her company; their dynamic leans heavy on arranged-marriage tension, forced proximity, and pride-driven groveling. Beyond those two, books like this usually pack in supporting characters who crank the emotional stakes — cheating exes, vindictive relatives, corporate rivals, and protective siblings — and those exact beats show up in other 'Contractually Yours' titles too, like the Jennifer Griffith story where a returned suitor and small-town secrets drive the plot between Cash and Annabel. I love how the core couple’s friction slowly turns into tenderness; it’s such a satisfying slow burn to read through.

Whew, that book really sticks with me—by the final chapters of 'Contractually Yours' the whole arranged-marriage façade finally collapses and what’s left is an honest, messy couple who chose each other. Lucienne goes into the marriage to secure control of her family business, and Sebastian goes in angry and defensive, expecting to be played. Over the course of the story their defenses crack: Sebastian starts saying 'my wife' and defending her in public, while Lucienne’s plans and pride slowly give way to genuine care. The climax forces both of them to confront betrayals and family manipulations, and Sebastian makes a serious groveling, reparative push to win her trust back—a proper emotional payoff that turns the temporary contract into something real. In the end they stay together, having resolved the major conflict around control and reputation, and the book closes on a satisfying happy ending that underlines growth, protection, and mutual choice.

I devoured 'Contractually Yours' with that guilty-pleasure grin reserved for messy, angsty romances that know exactly which buttons to press. The book lands squarely in the arranged-marriage / enemies-to-lovers wheelhouse and leans into forced proximity, possessive-hero energy, and very emotional groveling — all of which are front-and-center in the blurb and author notes. Plotwise, the setup is deliciously combustible: a marriage of convenience between a jewelry heiress and a ruthless CEO, scandal and corporate stakes woven into the relationship between the leads. The pacing takes a little while to find its feet; the author spends time building the messiness of both families and the reputations that drive the characters’ choices. When the chemistry hits, though, it lands hard and keeps you turning pages, especially if you enjoy those “my wife” moments and the hero who pulls out all the stops to make things right. If you prize tight, subtle prose and completely balanced characters, this might frustrate you at points. But if you want a dramatic, emotional ride with classic romance payoffs, I had a blast — it scratched the itch for a sweeping, dramatic love story and left me smiling even during the steamier, angsty beats.
