She negotiated the terms of their marriage like a contract. He agreed to every condition without argument. That should have been her first warning. Sloane Mercer is a corporate attorney who built everything herself and trusts no one. When her father reappears after eighteen years with a debt that threatens her mother's home she does the only thing she can. She agrees to an arranged marriage with Beckett Rowe and walks into his world on her own terms. Beckett chose her deliberately. From a list of twelve names he chose hers. Not because of the arrangement. Because someone was already coming for her and he got there first. But the closer they get to each other the closer they get to a truth that will break everything open. Her father was sent to her door by design. The career she sacrificed everything to build was quietly poisoned before she ever walked through its doors. And the man behind all of it has been watching them both the entire time. The arrangement was never about a marriage. And falling in love was never part of the plan. But what happens when the only person who ever really saw you is the one person you were never supposed to trust?

Then my father's company was hit by a financial scandal, clients began walking away, and the man who had always held our family together ended up in a hospital bed. With everything falling apart around me, I was forced to step into a world of boardrooms, secrets, and power plays I knew nothing about. That's when I met Damien Hart.

The closer I got to the truth, the more I realized that nothing was as it seemed, and neither was he. Now I'm caught between saving my family, protecting my heart, and trusting the one man I probably shouldn't trust. Because some contracts are signed on paper, the most dangerous ones are signed with the heart.

INSATIABLE VOWS Some vows are never meant to be broken Chiara Vance gave her fiancé seven years of loyalty, her sharp legal mind, and the empire he built entirely on her back. He repaid her with her own sister, caught together an hour before their wedding. Heartbroken, she runs blindly into the storm with nothing left to lose. A stranger's car cuts across her path. By midnight, she has married him instead. Alessio isn't who he claims to be. He didn't stop for Chiara by accident — he found the one weapon capable of destroying his enemy, and he intends to use it without mercy. But within the first hour of their alliance, he says something that stops her cold: a truth about her own mother's inheritance that Chiara has never heard before in her life. As their marriage of convenience deepens into something neither can control, Chiara realizes the stranger she married knows more about her own family than she does — and every answer he gives her only raises more questions. Beneath both their pasts lies a stolen inheritance, a murder, and a secret that threatens their entire marriage. He came for revenge. She came for a way out. Neither expected the truth to matter more than either one.

She needed a second chance. He needed a fake fiancée. A ninety-day contract was supposed to solve all their problems—until stolen kisses felt real, a fake engagement became a forced marriage, and betrayal threatened to destroy everything they had built. In a world where love is the biggest gamble, will they walk away when the contract ends, or fight for a forever neither of them expected?
