No Escape From the Billionare's Contract
“Zariel Thorne makes a living helping strangers fake their relationships. When she sends a marriage proposal to the wrong inbox, her billionaire boss becomes the last client she ever wanted. Kaelen Sterling has signed the contract, arranged to clear her family's debts, and decided she will move into his penthouse that night. He needs a wife the board will believe in. She needs to keep her aunt in the home the bank is about to take. Zariel knows how to wear a ring and sell a story, but living with Kaelen means rules she never agreed to write, a locked bedroom, and a public kiss that feels far too real. His rivals are already searching for evidence of the payment that brought them together. To protect her family, Zariel must convince the world she chose him for love, while deciding how much of herself the lie is allowed to cost.”
