I stepped into the room and he smiled at me.

That was my first warning.

Rowan Vaughn hadn’t smiled at me like that in years. Not since the cheating. Not since the Cold War between us began.

"Hi," he said, like I was a stranger.

And just like that, I knew.

He didn’t remember.

Not the marriage. Not the fights. Not the night I begged him to sign the divorce papers.

But then she walked in, Gigi.

And he remembered her.

I stood there, invisible again, while he held her hand and called her name.

He remembered the woman he almost left me for.

But not me...his wife.

Now I wish I had let him die in that operating room.

Ruby and Leo were never meant to fall in love. Their relationship began as a simple contract between two strangers with broken pasts agreeing to play the perfect couple for their own reasons. Rules were clear, no emotions, no complications, no crossing the line. And for a while, it worked. Stolen glances were ignored, lingering touches dismissed, and the quiet comfort between them carefully denied.
But somewhere between late night conversations and shared silences, the lines blurred.

Just when everything began to feel real, she returned.
Leo’s ex, beautiful, confident, and carrying a past that refused to stay buried, walked back into his life as if she had never left. With her came secrets, unresolved feelings, and a truth that threatened to shatter everything Ruby thought she understood.
Suddenly, the contract didn’t feel like protection anymore; it felt like a lie.
Caught between what was fake and what had become painfully real, Ruby must decide if she’s willing to fight for a love that was never supposed to exist. And Leo must face the past he never truly let go of.
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t pretending to love it’s admitting that you already do.

Elena Brooks didn’t sell her soul for money.
She sold it for her sister’s life.
When cold-hearted billionaire Alessandro Rossi offers her a way out of insurmountable debt — one year as his contract wife — she has no choice but to sign. One bed. Brutal rules. Total surrender. In exchange: five million dollars and protection from the enemies her father betrayed.
But Sandro Rossi is no ordinary billionaire.
He is the ruthless Don of the Rossi Syndicate — a man who takes what he wants and destroys what he can’t control.
Now trapped in his opulent penthouse, Elena finds herself at the mercy of a predator. Every lingering stare makes her pulse race. Every deliberate touch sets her skin on fire.

As dangerous rivals close in and deadly secrets rise from the past, Elena realizes the real threat isn’t the contract.
It’s the monster who’s slowly claiming her body… and stealing her heart.
Some deals are written in ink.
Theirs was sealed in blood, lust, and obsession.
And once Sandro Rossi decides a woman belongs to him…
He never lets her go.

I had heard of arranged marriages.

Of fathers making arrangements with someone else to marry off their daughters. There was a time when such a practice was quite common.

I always knew I wasn't going to get married unless that man proved to me that he was the one. I thought I found him once, I got my heart broken in the worst way.

I was alone for a while keeping cupid's arrows away from me and my heart.

One bad day I met a man who needed a wife, and I needed money.

It sounds bad, I know. But there are things that need money and I didn't have any at the time.

It was something important that I promised myself to do when I could, and worked hard to get it, but it was never enough.

I thought a cupid appeared far away. The idiot was always around, just silently.

He shot his arrows and hit me right in the heart, then laughed at me as he found me alone again.

Cupid was evil, and he liked human suffering. More so that of unrequited love.

Rowan Vance is good at her job, organizing chaos, managing vendors, and keeping everything running on schedule. It’s a life built on logic, structure, and control.
Until the emails start.
Requests she never sent. Orders she doesn’t remember approving. Materials that shouldn’t exist, let alone be sourced. Every time she pushes back, systems fail, records disappear, and something unseen tightens its grip.
Someone is using her.
And worse erasing every trace.
As Rowan prepares for a high-stakes industry expo, the pressure builds. The same company name keeps appearing at the center of it all: Blacke Industries: a firm with no clear history, no visible leadership, and far too much influence behind the scenes.
Corvin Blacke has spent centuries building his empire on control. His company operates in both worlds, human and otherwise, and nothing moves through his system without his knowledge.
Until now.
Something has breached his network. Something powerful. Something reckless.
And somehow… it’s tied to Rowan.
She doesn’t know the rules.
She doesn’t understand the danger.
But she did something no one else has ever done.
She refused.
Now caught between a force that won’t let her go and a man who deals in binding agreements, Rowan is about to learn that in Corvin’s world, everything comes with a cost.
And the only way out…
is a contract.

"She's wearing white. Why is she wearing white? I'm supposed to be the only one. Make her stop, baby!" a woman whines at my husband-to-be.

"You have to change," Abraxas says, kissing her temple is a caring and soothing way.

"Eh, why? Am I not the bride?" I ask in confusion.

Little did I know, the wedding was only the beginning of a nightmare.

Despite knowing it was a contracted marriage, I still entered into it full of hope that Abraxas Harlow would eventually fall in love with me.

But after years of being treated as a slave and striving to perform as the Harlow family's 'good wife', I had enough. When I finally gathered the courage to ask for a divorce, Abraxas belittled me, and he thought my life would be a struggle without him.

But he couldn't have been more wrong. I am Anastasia, the billionaire heiress of the Jackson family, the most influential and powerful family in Pearl City. I am not just any Stacy.

Now that Abraxas knows my true identity, and he thinks he can win me back? Dream on!

"Listen I would never let anyone hurt you in any way.“

Damien looks into my eyes and I melt. I have no idea what is coming over me but I feel the strongest urge to kiss him. I pull him close to me and kiss his lips.

His lips are soft. He smells like heaven to me.

What happened to me? Last minute I was wondering why a vampire need to hire me, all of the sudden I just want him so bad?

Emily Taylor has three rules:
Don’t date athletes.
Don’t trust a pretty face.
Don’t repeat the mistakes that nearly cost her career.

But when she’s assigned to rehabilitate Westview University’s most notorious lacrosse star, she’s forced to break all three.

Noah Harris is talent wrapped in trouble, reckless, adored, and one scandal away from losing everything. With a season-threatening shoulder injury and the media circling like sharks, he’s given an ultimatum:

Fix your image or lose your scholarship.

The answer?
A fake relationship with the brilliant, pink-loving sports rehab intern who can’t stand him.

For Emily, it’s simple:
Play the part.
Follow the contract.
Earn the once-in-a-generation Johns Hopkins recommendation that will define her future.

Until she meets Noah’s stepbrother.

Quiet where Noah is loud.
Thoughtful where Noah is impulsive.
A man who sees her ambition, not just her beauty and isn’t afraid to pursue her.

Suddenly the fake boyfriend turns territorial.
The teasing becomes charged.
The lines blur.
And touches meant only for the cameras start to feel dangerously real.

When the contract is leaked, the fallout threatens Emily’s career, Noah’s future, and every fragile feeling between them.

Now she must choose:

The safe man who would never break her heart…
or the broken one she was never meant to fall for.

In a season full of injuries, rivalry, and lies,
the most dangerous thing of all might be love.

“Marry me, Leilani.”

“What?”

“We will have rules. There will be a contract.”

Eyes widened in shock, she muttered, “You want me to be your wife? A contract wife?”

* * *

After her Tinder date goes horribly wrong, Leilani heads off to join her best friend at a wedding. There, she meets a man with the strangest proposal ever.

A contract marriage.

A normal person would have said no but a lonely person would consider the idea. So, she says yes to this hot, handsome stranger.

Marrying a stranger wouldn’t be the worst decision she has taken. Or so she thinks, until she heads to the office the next work day and the head of department tells them the company has experienced a major change.

A change as major as getting a new boss, who also happens to be her new husband.

The rules were simple: Play the wife. Take the money. Walk away ruined.

Vera Bennett is a woman fueled by a singular, desperate goal: keeping her younger sister, Lily, safe. After they flee the neon-lit hell of Las Vegas, she believes they could finally start afresh.

But a sudden health crisis shatters the illusion, and Vera is forced to accept Silas Rutherford's proposal—New York’s formidable businessman widower and a notorious casanova. His offer is as cold as his heart.

A two-year marriage contract to save his corporate reputation, but leaves her ruined. Penniless and pregnant from a night of horror she cannot remember, by a man she never saw, Vera saw the marriage as a lifeline.

​Their fragile peace shatters when a shadow from Vera’s past deals her a cruel stroke of revenge and Silas learns what she has been hiding.

“Your damn mistake cost me my wife and child!” he thundered.

The marriage takes a dark turn as desire curdles into a thirst for vengeance.
​
Now, the contract has changed.

The man who promised to protect her becomes her judge, jury, and executioner.

​His new rule? Be his wife by day, and his bedwarmer by night.

But as the lines between hate and heat blur, Vera surrendered herself willingly.
​
Feelings begin to change and memories forged in the dark are beginning to creep in— Vera is not the only sinner in the Rutherford mansion. In the end, Vera realizes she's the victim of the very people she is fighting to protect.

It may be late when Silas realises two things: The real monster isn't the woman in his bed. The deepest stabs come from those who share your name.

Does the truth set them free, or bury them both?

Nina felt Julian's grip on her hand tighten and the cool metal slide over her finger, Nina regretted having agreed to come. She tried to look down, wondering what Julian had done to her finger, but he kept his hand over hers. Awkward didn’t begin to cover it. She felt as if she’d just entered a minefield.

“Mom. Dad. I would like you to meet—” His entire body tensed and he gripped her hand almost painfully. It was like he was sending her a silent message. “I’d like you to meet my fiancée, Nina Taylor.”

Nina froze. There was a horrible buzz in her ears, and she stared in horror at Julian. She hadn’t heard him right. What kind of idiotic thing had he just done?

She wasn’t sure who was more stunned. Her or his family. Abby looked shocked. Loveth looked as if she just swallowed a lemon. Sam looked annoyed, while Julian's father simply frowned.


Nina Taylor relocates to New York and reunites with Abby Martin, her best friend from high school, despite the fact that her father disagrees with her decision.

But Nina is tired of letting her father dictate every aspect of her life, especially now that he has arranged for her to marry Christopher Anderson, so she is convinced that she has made the right decision by leaving.

Soon Nina finds herself in the same situation with Julian Martin.... Will she walk away this time?

She only has to pretend to be Julian's fiance for a while though.... She could do that.

What could possibly go wrong?

At her father's funeral, he ruthlessly violated her body, then afterwards threw a divorce agreement at her.
"I married you just to retaliate against your father. Now that he's dead, you'll spend your whole life atoning for it!"
She finally realized, he had never loved her. He wished she were dead...

“If our marriage were already claimed before the whole pack, I would make sure your ex-mate was watching as I make you moan my name, showing him the male who can take you past the moon… and make you beg for more until your voice breaks, Elena,” he whispered slowly.

"But… we should stop before someone walks in and sees us like this," Elena murmured, as she pressed back against him.


Elena Monroe once poured her entire soul into helping her mate, Drake Hamilton, the proud Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack, to remember the bond they shared before the accident stole his memories. Instead of returning to her, Drake chose Cassandra Travers, a glittering celebrity with a noble name and a perfect smile.

Then everything exploded.

At Drake's birthday party, Elena faced allegations of drugging and sleeping with him. Humiliated and mocked in front of the whole pack, she was on the brink of disaster when her protector, the male everyone believed was her guardian, pulled her away from the chaos.

The mate bond was cut, and Elena walked away in pieces.

But loss followed her. Two of the people she loved most were taken from her by her ex-mate and his family while she fought to clear her name.

Sorrow transformed into rage.

A reckless night with the man she previously referred to as her guardian sparked an illicit fire neither could extinguish.

Now hidden in a city far from her pack, she is no longer the broken omega they underestimated. She is ready to reclaim her life—and destroy those who dared to ruin it.

But when her ex-mate's memories finally come back, Elena finds herself torn between revenge and a love she ought to avoid.

And this time, her children’s lives hang in the balance.

"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip.

“Don’t make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.”

Sarah had harbored feelings for Philip ever since she first saw him in a sports magazine. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar to elope with another man, Sarah selflessly offered herself as a replacement bride to spare his embarrassment.

After enduring three years of a loveless and toxic marriage, Sarah finally summoned the courage to divorce Philip, who was still pining for his former fiancée.

She vowed to herself that she would find another man who would love, trust, and worship her like a queen. This is what she sought if she were to marry a second time.

A year later, their paths crossed again. Philip confronted Sarah in a ladies’ restroom, demanding, “Do not let other men touch you!”

Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. “And what if I do?” she retorted.

Philip’s tone grew menacing, “You won’t like what I’d do.”

Unfazed, Sarah shot back, “Mr. Cornell, I’ve never liked what you’ve done, even in the past. There’s nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,” before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.

After three years, he came back with his mistress, and I heard him talking about divorce. He did not say anything despite taking my innocence before leaving. I was deeply hurt. He never gave me a chance to be an effective wife to him, and yet he wanted to divorce me. It's not that I love him; it's just that I thought I had been loyal to him while he enjoyed himself with his mistress. Yet he dares to complain as if I had him on his neck.

I was furious. I would ensure that he and his mistress had difficulty convincing me of the divorce. But why was he acting differently?

"Marry me."
What the hell?
"Put this on tomorrow," he expained, "You're going to tell the press that Bella cheated on me, and that's when we started dating. When Bella found out, she tried to break us up. When that didn't work, she blackmailed you into posting the photo. That way, it looks like I hate you- but we've already reconciled."
How did I get myself into this kind of mess?


Laura finds herself in a devastating dilemma when her mother is kidnapped. Her captors demand she post a photo of Eric Sloan- the son of a multi-billionaire- together with Damien Avery, the prime minister's son, and tag them as gay lovers. To save her mother, Laura reluctantly follows through.
But the fallout is swift.
Her post draws the wrath of Eric Sloan along with his powerful family and legions of loyal fans.
To control the narrative and erase the rumors, Eric gives her a shocking ultimatum: marry him. Publicly, it will discredit the scandal. Privately, it's his way of punishing her.
He promises himself one thing- he'll ruin her.
But as layers of deception peel away, Eric's thirst for revenge twists into something far more dangerous: obsession. Now, all he wants is to protect her, claim her, own her- and keep her trapped in his dark abyss.

A fake engagement. A kidnapped mother. A billionaire who demands a bride.

Blogger Laura Karma had a choice: risk her mother's life or post a lie that would destroy billionaire Eric Sloan's spotless reputation. She chose the lie, exposing Eric as "gay" and plunging his world into scandal.

Now, she's in his crosshairs. Arrogant, cold, and vengeful, Eric offers a cruel, inescapable deal: marry him for one year to repair his public image, or he will use his power to ruin her life and expel her brother from Harvard. Trapped with her mother's fate hanging in the balance, Laura is forced to agree to become the fake Mrs. Sloan.

A marriage built on lies, threats, and betrayal shouldn't breed love, but the closer Laura gets to her husband, the more the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. Yet, with Eric's ruthless business rival Aaron and his own sister Agatha plotting their downfall, their fake union is the only thing standing against a world determined to tear them apart.

When the contract ends, will Laura walk away with her life intact, or will she lose her heart to the very man who vowed to make her existence a living hell?

This was the first step to being the girl she was truly meant to be. 

Her parents separated when she was twelve and the court granted her father full custody of her and her brother because of his influence, even though he was abusive both physically, verbally, and sexually to both of them.

Harper Cole has been preparing her whole life to become her pack’s next Alpha. When her father gives the title to her youngest brother, Harper will proposition a fellow Alpha with a fake marriage, hoping to reclaim her position as heir.

Asher Black, Alpha of the Rising Moon Pack, is struggling to lead his Pack and get rid of his controlling uncles when he is offered a strange proposition from a beautiful young wolf. As Harper and Asher fight to secure their positions, their fake relationship will be tested…as will the growing feelings between the two.

“Prove it.” Julius says.
“What?” Prove what? Why is it so hard for them to understand I’m getting married?
“I don’t believe this is real,” Dean agrees, adding fuel to Julius’s fire.
I glance at Harper, nervous. I knew this was going to happen. They’ve figured out straight away this is fake. Did we not appear in love when we entered the room?
“Of course, it’s real,” Harper smiles at me.
She gives me a look, indicating she is either going to do something good or bad. She grabs me by the collar of my shirt and pulls me towards her. From instinct I close my eyes and commit to the pretend relationship. Our lips brush each other’s, and I can taste strawberry. They’re soft, warm and inviting. I hope it appears that sparks are flying around the room.
“Like I said,” Harper smiles wide, “We’re getting married, and I’m leaving tomorrow.”

I might hold the world record for the strangest reason to get married.
To get back at my cheating ex, I had a reckless one-night stand at his engagement party.
My delicious mistake? He—the richest, most ruthless CEO in the city.

Now, he’s blackmailing me into a temporary marriage contract.
He needs a wife to fulfill his own agenda. I need an escape from my crumbling life.

The deal was simple: no feelings, and a clean break in five months.
But the man who demanded this arrangement is now breaking every single rule.
He said this was business, so why is he fighting to make our temporary marriage permanent?

“I don't do whores. Try another hotel.” Michael’s voice was cold, but his eyes were dark, lingering on my exposed cleavage. I could smell his arousal, a mix of leather and raw musk, and when I rubbed myself against his groin, he hissed. He was hard. Rock hard. Yet, he tossed me aside like trash.

I zipped up my dress, humiliating heat pooling between my legs from his rejection. Two days later, I was in the clutches of Alpha Roman. His thick fingers dug into my ass, squeezing my flesh as he whispered filthy things against my neck. “I’m gonna wreck you tonight, bitch.”

I squeezed my thighs together, terrified, until a growl vibrated through the air. “Get your fucking hands off her.”

Michael stormed in. He didn't just pull me away; he claimed me. His hand gripped the back of my neck, forcing my head back as his tongue thrust into my mouth, dominating me, tasting me. His erection pressed against my belly through the thin silk of my gown, marking me as his property in front of everyone.

But the contract he offered was cold. “Sign it. No feelings.”

Months later, I broke the rule. I walked into his office, desperate. He was drunk. “You said no touching,” I whispered, but my hands were already undoing his belt.

“I lied,” he groaned, dragging me onto his lap. His large hand slid up my thigh, pushing my panties aside. His fingers found my wetness instantly, circling my clit until I gasped. “You’re mine, Evelyn. Contract or not, tonight, I’m going to ruin you for anyone else.”

Betrayed and humiliated, I discovered my one-year marriage was a meticulously crafted lie. My husband, the man I gave my fortune and heart to, had legally married his manipulative adoptive sister, all while using me as a stepping stone to wealth and power. Cast aside like trash, I was left with nothing but a thirst for vengeance.

But they underestimated me.

I am no damsel in distress. I am the heiress they thought they had broken.

"Tell me to stop. Tell me now, or I won't be able to hold back." his tone was both a challenge and a plea. Serena swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest at the electric tension between them.
"I don't want you to stop," she breathed, barely recognizing her own voice. His eyes darkened even more. So much so that the ambers in them completely disappeared. He gnashed his teeth so hard as he fought for control. Serena could feel the tension radiating off him in waves like a spring ready to snap.
"You don't know what you're doing to me," he growled roughly. She bit her lip, both thrilled and intimidated by the raw need in his voice. Her fingers trailed along the hard line of his jaw, feeling the slight stubble there.
"Show me," she challenged. His breathing grew even more ragged. Serena could see the struggle on his face - the battle between his overwhelming desire and his need to protect her from his own intensity.
