Contracted bride
In a city ruled by power and privilege, love is the last thing billionaire CEO Ace Wolfe is looking for. With an empire to protect and a family legacy hanging in the balance, he needs a bride—fast. Not for love. Not for romance. Just for the contract. A name on paper. An heir in the future.
But Alara Grey is anything but paper-thin.
Working at a cozy coffee shop and struggling to support her younger sister and ailing mother, Alara’s life is a far cry from penthouses and black cards. She’s strong, grounded, and proud—until desperation forces her to consider the unthinkable. When her mother’s life hangs in the balance and every option runs out, Ace’s cold proposal becomes her only salvation.
The deal is simple: marriage, wealth, protection—for a price.
No feelings.
No strings.
No questions.
But what begins as a contract signed in desperation quickly spirals into a passionate storm neither of them expected. Alara is drawn to Ace’s dangerous charm and bruised soul, while Ace becomes obsessed with the fiery woman who challenges him in ways no one else dares. As public appearances blur into private touches and stolen glances turn into sleepless nights, lines begin to blur—and so do hearts.
Yet in the shadows, jealousy brews.
Eve, Ace’s ex and an A-list model, wants her place back—and will go to any length to ruin Alara.
Ryan, Alara’s unstable ex-boyfriend, returns with an obsession that becomes dangerously unhinged.
And Percy, the trusted friend, hides envy behind fake smiles and betrayal behind loyalty.
Alara must navigate fame, danger, and the weight of a world that doesn’t want her to belong—all while falling for the man who swore he’d never love.
But when tragedy strikes and secrets unravel, both must confront a truth they never planned for:
This marriage may have started with ink and a signature…
…but it could end in real love.
