Contracted to My Boss When poverty and her sister’s critical illness leave her with nowhere to turn, she reaches out to her boyfriend for help—only to face a devastating betrayal. Outside the hospital, he declares he’s leaving her for another woman, branding her a burden who offers him no benefits. Shattered, she flees and accidentally collides with the CEO of her company, who has overheard every word of her heartbreak. He presents a pragmatic solution: a contract marriage where he gets the wife he needs to navigate family expectations, and she gets the money to save her sister. Seeing no other option, she agrees, and they formalize their arrangement as a strictly business deal with no room for emotions. But as they share their lives under one roof, their professional boundaries begin to crumble. His tender gestures, protective instincts, and unexpected kisses leave her questioning if this is truly just a contract. For him, the thought of her walking away—wearied by the pressure from his family and doubts about their future—awakens feelings he never anticipated. What began as a transaction to solve their individual problems evolves into something far more complex, forcing both to confront whether their growing connection is real, or if they’re simply pretending to fill the voids in their lives.

Hey, old hag, you're putting on an act in front of the real deal! This hotel was a birthday gift from my husband to me. Aren't you fantasizing a bit too much?" Oh? Since when did Ian Lambert get another wife behind my back?

BOOK #1 MARINOS' MAYHEM SERIES "I said 'act like my boyfriend' for just five minutes, not 'act like my fucking husband' for the rest of your life!" Adrian Price half-yelled, his fingers curled into a tight fist as he glared at the terrifying, yet super gorgeous man in front of him. Giovanni Marino blinked slowly, taking his time to register every detail of Adrian's figure into his memory, not minding that he was disturbing his work at all. "I don't see a big difference between the two." "Oh, for fuck sake! You're a thug, but surely you're not dumb, are you? Do you not know when to stop?" Adrian scoffed, his anger growing thicker. "Sadly, I don't seem to know what 'stop' means. You made the idea of being someone's boyfriend sound so great now I don't think I wanna stop."

Now, the big bad man had found a toy he could play with, and he was having the best fun of his life. Would he ever stop and return to his lonely life? That, he wasn't sure he could do that. Not even when he realized Adrian was his enemy's son. He needed Adrian, either to break him or to make him.

But when her father, Alexander Newton, found out, her world crashed down in an instant. "Get out of my house! I don’t have a daughter who’s a slut like you!"

Elarie stepped into the conference room with her heart pounding, filled with hope and determination. Behind the massive desk sat Danreb Scott, a man whose cold, calculating gaze pierced right through her. “So, Ms. Newton…” He had dragged his eyes from her feet to her head. “…do you really think you’re capable of working with me without a degree?” Elarie’s breath had hitched, but she had straightened her spine. “I’ve done more with less.” This was her chance to prove that her past didn’t define her—that she was more than the broken girl her father had cast aside. But would Danreb Scott see beyond her scars, or would her past continue to haunt her? But one thing was for sure. Elarie was ready to fight for her son’s future, even if it meant working under the icy gaze of the man sitting across from her.
