1445 Book(s) Related to Incompatible Souls : Forced into a Contract Marriage

I've been invisible my whole life. I've been the typical servant daughter, scrubbing floors and doing all the work, while my stepsister gets everything.

One night, she needs someone to take her place in Damien Ashford's bed, and she connives with her mom. They send me to him, that it's just one night, and it's supposed to be just one lie. We never expect him to know the difference. Except he does.

He knows the second I walk through his door, yet he keeps me anyway, but that's not all.

I'm met with an arranged marriage upon my return, and I have no other option but to run away, with stolen money, and with nowhere to go.

The only job I get to find is a Live-in caregiver at a sprawling estate in the hills and I don't realize it's his house until it's too late.

Now I'm trapped under his roof, caring for his grandmother, and he's watching my every move.

He says I work for him now but the way he looks at me says he wants more than that.

Betrayed by her fiancé and her own half-sister, Caroline Ford is on her knees. Her only family, her younger sister Sara, is wasting away in a hospital bed, needing heart surgery that no one dares to perform. In an act of desperation, she seeks out her last hope: Nicholas Wolf, a legendary surgeon who abandoned his scalpel years ago and became a ruthless and unapproachable billionaire.
But the price to bring the king out of exile is higher than she could have imagined. Nicholas doesn't want money. He wants her. The condition for saving Sara's life is a pact sealed at the registry office: Caroline must become his wife.
Forced into a marriage with a man who is a complete stranger, Caroline is swept into a world of unimaginable power and luxury. However, her new husband is an enigma. Cold, possessive, and with a dangerous temper, he hides dark secrets, including a strange condition that makes him averse to the touch of any woman—except her.
As she struggles to navigate this dangerous game of submission and desire, her past returns to haunt her. Is this marriage her salvation or a gilded prison? And what will happen when the man who bought her life discovers that she may be the only cure for the darkness that consumes him?

"I accept your offer."
"What?" He asked in disbelief.
"I said, I accept your offer." I repeated. "I would come with you to your pack as your Luna. That is what everyone knows it is. But between us both, I would be nothing but your breeder. I would spread my thighs apart, for you to put your children inside me and in turn, you would give me the reins of power and leadership as your Luna. I would get the respect I deserve, while you get the children you.... deserve."
Rosa Anderson has suffered enough—scorned by her family, broken by her first mate, stripped of dignity and hope. Love is a luxury she no longer believes in.
Hybrid Alpha Ryan of the Cold Moon Pack is feared by all… yet shattered by betrayal. His first mate cheated on him, and he paid the price in blood and humiliation. Love? He wants nothing to do with it.
Fate gives them a second chance—but neither wants the burden that comes with it. Conveniently, Ryan needs a breeder. Conveniently, Rosa needs a title that comes with respect, protection, and power.
So they do the unthinkable—they form a contract:
Mate and Luna to the world.
Breeder and master behind closed doors.
No love.
No feelings.
No heartbreak.
At least, that's what Ryan believes… until the woman he never wanted becomes the only thing he can't let go of.

Luna Ashford knew the stories about Alpha Damon Silvermane - he was the most powerful Alpha in five areas, and he never touched the same woman twice. The night she came of age, everything changed. Her smell called to him like nothing ever had, and suddenly the untouchable Alpha couldn't stay away.
For weeks, Luna lived in secret paradise, thinking she was finally the one to capture the legendary Alpha's heart. Then the pregnancy test showed positive, and hours later, Damon revealed his engagement to Alpha-born Seraphina Nightshade.
Shattered and carrying his secret, Luna disappeared into the human world with nothing but her pride and future child. Three years later, she's built a peaceful life with her daughter Aria and her loyal mate Marcus - a gentle soul who saved her when she had nothing left.
But Damon has been searching relentlessly, and when he finally tracks her down, Luna learns a truth that changes everything: Marcus isn't just any mate. He's Damon's cousin, and their bond is deeper than blood - their souls were mystically linked in childhood, making Luna's choice between them a magical impossibility.
Now Luna must navigate a dangerous game where choosing one mate could literally kill the other, while dark forces from both their pasts combine to destroy the impossible love triangle that defies the very laws of werewolf nature.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

Don't talk to me. Don't touch me. Don't appear in my space. These are the three rules he gave me.

But Alpha, why are you breaking all of them?

I spent ten years turning a thug into a top boxer, but he and my wife kicked me out of the game, mocking me for "not understanding business and being outdated."

I didn't argue, and turned around to pick up a homeless man who had fought in underground boxing matches on the roadside.

A year later, the homeless man's apprentice knocked out the defending champion with one punch and won the gold belt; while that ingrate who betrayed me was beaten into a cripple in the underground boxing ring.

The geniuses you all think they are are nothing more than half-finished products under my tutelage!

"Niya knew with all her heart that her marriage to the Alpha was fake. After all, what marriage is real when it starts from a forced contract? She also knew that her womb was devoid of an heir, despite what everyone else in the clan believed. Was there anything real about their relationship at all?
Despite all this, her knees wanted to give away when her Alpha looked at her or touched her. Her body shivered with a lust so deep that only her fake husband could satisfy it. But would he?
All the new Alpha wanted was his father’s respect and the support and admiration of his clan. In order to do so, he forced himself to marry a frail little wolf he didn’t think he would risk his life to protect one day. Everything about her, from her silver hair to the curve of her tiny waist drove him insane. He knew that the child in her belly wasn’t real but if he had it his way, he wanted to make damn sure that it was.

When Catherine finally found the courage to escape from her abusive boyfriend, she didn't know how painful the price of freedom would be.

Billionaire businessman and politician Nathan appeared in her life at the exact time she needed saving.

Just when Catherine was beginning to put her past behind her and longing for a happy ending, she and Nathan’s past came calling, a past that threatened to destroy them and their loved ones.

Mara Ellis needed money, not a monster.
With rent overdue and eviction closing in, the struggling journalist sneaks into a glittering corporate gala determined to expose Damian Hale—the city’s most feared CEO, a man with enough power to ruin nations, and a billionaire kingmaker whispered to destroy anyone who crosses him. She expects scandal. She does not expect to leave with a wedding ring.

I was standing in the corner of the room. His eyes were on me, stripping me naked. “Strip!” One word echoed in the room and my heart sank in the pit of my stomach.

“Uncle, please! It's wrong!” I whimpered while trembling with fear. Men like him were known to hurt.

“If I come over, it will not be good for you.” His piercing gaze was back on my face as his voice boomed in the room.

With trembling hands, I tried to unzip my wedding gown. Tears welled up in my eyes, I could no longer control them. I let my gown fall on the ground. “Your underwear as well!” He growled again at me. Humiliated in front of the man I thought would never hurt me, I had no other options but to obey him.

I blink, heat rising to my cheeks. "I'm a married woman."
"Not for long."

I catch them mid-twist on the SoHo couch we picked out together—Ethan's shirt crumpled on the floor, his hands fisted in Layla's hair, her dress hitched high on her hips, her head thrown back in a gasp that curdles my blood.
My fingers go slack on the doorknob; the Lombardi's bag, his favorite chicken parmigiana, my promotion celebration, slams to the hardwood.

A vampire can only share a blood pact with one mate. My husband, Duke Vincent, and I have been in love and bound by our pact for ten years. Back then, he swore his loyalty to me before the vampire gods.

But today, as his cursed first love lies dying, he hands me a vial of the oblivion draught and forcibly breaks our bond.

"Elara, Camilla is dying. Just give me three days. Let me fulfill her dream of a blood wedding."

"I don't want you to hurt. This draught just causes temporary amnesia. Once the wedding ends in three days, I'll go to the capital and get the antidote. You'll remember me, and we'll bind a much grander blood pact."

I stare at his uncompromising expression. Then I take the vial and swallow the potion without a second thought.

What Vincent doesn't know is that I brewed this oblivion draught myself.

There is absolutely no antidote.

In three days, I'll not only forget him completely, but I'll also head to the human capital to start my new job at the Royal Potion Workshop.

Being the First Lady should mean being happy and having everything at your beck and call but to Alma, it was far from that. She was stuck in a marriage that to the public looked like the perfect marriage but to her, it was filled with pain, hate, betrayal, and nothing close to happiness.

In the glittering skyline of Chicago, where fortunes rise as fast as they fall, Laura Castillo has made a career out of heartbreak—literally. As a professional bride, she’s survived by marrying desperate men for money, selling illusions of love with a flawless smile and a perfectly tailored dress. But behind the practiced charm is a woman drowning in emotional debts, haunted by a dying father’s final wish and a parasitic mother’s relentless demands.

When Andy Hayes, billionaire heir to the Hayes empire, offers Laura a six-month marriage contract to secure his inheritance, it seems like just another cold transaction. But Andy is nothing like her previous clients—he’s sharp, dominant, devastatingly attractive, and infuriatingly perceptive. He sees the cracks beneath Laura’s mask. And he’s hiding battle scars of his own.

Their arrangement requires total discretion, shared living space, and a convincing performance for the press. But as cohabitation turns into chemistry, and chemistry ignites into something deeper, both Laura and Andy begin to lose control of a game they thought they’d mastered. Secrets surface. Ghosts from Laura’s past claw back for revenge. And the contract binding them begins to feel a lot like fate.

“This was supposed to be a deal,” Laura whispers, her voice trembling as Andy’s hand cups her jaw.
“It still is,” he murmurs, lips brushing hers. “I’m just changing the terms.”

Until she was moved by his sincerity and was willing to sign Universe Inc., she found her husband was a wealthy man when she negotiated the contract.

Dumped by her groom publicly, Luna married his uncle—Theodore, a business tycoon.
Hatred? Revenge? Or his long-planning?

When her down-and-out ex begged for a second chance? Luna smirked, swirling wine. “I'm Luna Carter, your new aunt—and the new owner of the Davis's enterprise.”

When revenge becomes love, and love becomes a weapon...

Samora Morrison would do anything to save her dying mother—even marry the man who destroyed her family.

Billionaire Adrian Rourke has never forgotten the betrayal that cost him millions. Now, he has the perfect opportunity for revenge: force David Morrison's precious daughter into a contract marriage that will make her pay for her father's sins. One year. One heir. And then he'll discard her like the trash he believes her family to be.

But Adrian underestimated Samora's fire.

She refuses to break, refuses to beg, and refuses to give him the satisfaction of her surrender. Instead, she fights him at every turn, challenging the cold, ruthless mask he's worn for years. When their son is born, everything changes. The line between hate and desire blurs until Adrian can't tell if he's still seeking revenge—or if he's fallen for the woman he was supposed to destroy.

Just as love begins to bloom from the ashes of hatred, deadly secrets emerge. Adrian's trusted assistant harbors a dangerous obsession. His former lover will kill to reclaim her place. And his father has been pulling strings from the shadows, orchestrating a game where Samora was always meant to lose.

When Samora is kidnapped and taken out of the country, Adrian faces an impossible choice: his empire or the woman who taught him how to love. But some enemies will stop at nothing to tear them apart—even if it means destroying everything in their path.

Can love survive when it's built on lies, revenge, and betrayal? Or will the sins of the past claim their future?

A dark billionaire romance full of enemies-to-lovers passion, shocking twists, and a love worth fighting for.

During my pregnancy, my husband cheated on me. Not only that, but his mistress even called me, forcing me to listen to the sounds of their lovemaking. While being intimate with her, my husband despised me, calling me a "fat pig."
To make matters worse, my mother-in-law caused me to have a miscarriage.
Heartbroken, I decided to leave this hateful man and the cold home we shared. Just at that moment, a gentle and handsome man entered my life, warming my shattered heart...

"I will take everything from you," my half-sister whispered as my husband, Colton, drove a blade into my chest. "Your love, your life, everything."

I died in a pool of my own blood, betrayed by the only family I had left. But instead of eternal darkness, light burned into my eyes.

I woke up standing in a luxury restaurant, looking down at Colton kneeling before me with a velvet ring box.

It was the exact day he proposed.

Armed with a second chance and burning for vengeance, I smirked and looked past him. "I'd love to marry," I announced to the stunned crowd, "but not you. You don't mind me being your aunt, do you?"

With those words, I walked straight into the arms of Colton’s powerful, enigmatic billionaire uncle—Richard Asher.

Three years of chasing Chase Blackwood, and all I got was a front-row seat to him tonguing my "sister."

The old me would've cried. Begged. Made a scene.

The old me also ended up dead.

Funny how a second chance at life gives you clarity.

So here's what's different this time: I'm done being the pathetic ex. I'm done playing nice.

I'm throwing champagne in his face and climbing into bed with Asher Hayes—his best friend, his rival, his worst nightmare.

And Chase? He can rot.

Isabella Addison

An aspiring woman with a kind heart and firm determination, stumbles upon the Billionaire only to find herself lost in his world of darkness and loneliness. With the contract restricting her heart from falling for him,she emerges as the sun in his gloom and dusky life.

Julien Louis Fernando

The heartthrob Billionaire who desires nothing more than what he has. Fame , Money , Power and women all under his fingers. When the news of naming the company as his brother's is broken to him , he desires nothing but a heir. A heir to be his stepping stone to takeover the Company.


"I will leave my imprint on both your soul and your little body by the end of our contract,Bella"

He breaths into my ears while making my back touch the wall behind us. His blue-orbs meet mine with such intensity as if looking through my soul,making a mockery of me for giving in to the Billionaire's Contract..but at the same time soft as if hold a precious possession.

"From today You are mine Bella" he smirked, placing a kiss on my collarbone before claiming my trembling lips.

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.

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.

Elsie Clarke spent three years in a secret marriage, and just as long in cold, silent separation. As their third anniversary approached, she still held on, foolishly hoping her love could melt her husband's frozen heart.

But all she received was a call from his private club. His voice was indifferent. “You wanted to see me? Bring a condom.”

That was the moment everything shattered. The marriage she had clung to was nothing but an empty shell, and she was finally ready to let it go.

But just as she turned away, he began to chase her with reckless desperation. The man who once ignored her now couldn’t bear to let her go.

Born into the most powerful mafia family in the city, I've had seven bodyguards since I was ten years old.

Seven heirs from allied families. Seven men trained to protect me. Seven potential husbands.

On my eighteenth birthday, I had to pick one and marry him.

Everyone knew I'd choose Dante Lucchese. How could I not? I'd been stupidly in love with that arrogant bastard since I was seven.

But I'll never choose him again.

Because I've already lived through what happens when I do.

The wedding. The explosion. Flames devouring my dress as I clawed at Dante's sleeve, begging him to help me.

He ripped his arm away.

And ran straight to Isabella—the pathetic little charity case my family took in, who always played the victim so perfectly.

"Serena, stop being selfish!" he shouted over the roar of the fire. "Isabella's hurt worse than you! I have to save her first!"

I screamed his name as he disappeared into the smoke with her in his arms.

The last thing I heard was Isabella crying. The last thing I felt was my skin burning.

Then—nothing.

Until I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the calendar on my bedroom wall.

Six months before the wedding.

The morning my father called me into his study to tell me it was time to choose.

This time, I crossed Dante's name off the list first.

This time, I chose Enzo Corleone—the quiet one who never said much, who everyone underestimated.

The one who died trying to pull me out of that fire.

So why the hell is Dante on his knees at my wedding to Enzo, tears streaming down his face, begging me to marry him instead?

I am the jubilant champion's girlfriend, the blissful woman who will reveal to him tonight, "We are to become parents." Yet, I overheard the brutal truth: "The very thought of her mother once climbing into my father's bed fills me with revulsion for every second of this five-year charade."

It turns out that five years of affection was nothing more than a meticulously orchestrated deceit.

They're nothing more than longtime enemies and business rivals. They never imagined themselves working together. Justine needs a husband in order to become pregnant, while Lawrence needs a new bride. They always say that desperate times call for desperate methods. Justine reveals to Lawrence that his cousin and fiancée is cheating on him.
"Your wedding day will be in three days, right? What if you’ll change your bride? Why don’t you marry me instead? "
You only want an heir, but your husband is too attractive to be ignored. Is it possible to fall in love with your own rival and bully? What if you're only a rebound?
You accept your rival's offer merely to get back to your fiancée. Lawrence promised himself that he would never fall for anyone again. It will be over after we have completed each other's plans, however... Why does he desire more? Why did his heart betray him once more? Can a marriage that begins with a contract succeed? He's doomed... he seems to be in love with his estranged wife!

I had forty-eight hours to save my dying mother's life.
When my billionaire boss offered me a deal—marry him for six months and he'd pay for everything—I thought I had no choice. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. A business arrangement. Six months and I'd be free with enough money to start over.
But Alexander Kane has a secret he didn't tell me.
Three women before me. All engaged to Alexander. All looked exactly like me. All died within months of saying "I do."
Now someone is sending me photos of their bodies. Threatening messages. Promises that I'll be next.
Alexander swears he didn't kill them. He says someone from his past is hunting anyone he loves. He promises to protect me.
But how can I trust a man whose fiancées keep dying?
How can I run when my mother's life depends on this marriage?
And how can I stop myself from falling in love with the one man who might destroy me?
They say the fourth time's the charm.
I just hope I live long enough to find out.

My heat hit me in the middle of my own engagement party to a man who kills Omegas.
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.


Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.

“My name is Elijah Wright,” he said, his eyes sparkling with confidence. He extended his hand, his smile charming. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, my soon-to-be wife.”

I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. My heart stopped. I was sure I must have heard him wrong. There was no way he had just said what I thought he said. I stared at him, my eyes wide with disbelief. But then he repeated it, his words dripping with sincerity, and I knew it was true.

“You’re joking, right?” I asked, my voice shaking. I took a step back, my eyes fixed on his face. Elijah’s smile widened, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He took a step closer, his hands reaching out as if to grasp mine.

“I’m afraid not,” he said, his voice low and husky with emotion. He paused, his gaze intense. “You see, I can’t bear the thought of you leaving me.” His words were laced with vulnerability, his eyes pleading. He took another step closer, his face inches from mine. “You have always been in my heart,” he continued, his voice cracking with emotion, “and now that we’ve found each other again, I will not let you go……

"If you think that you have been living in hell all your life, let me break that illusion for you," Adrian said. He spoke slowly, his voice full of menace.
"This place–this is true hell, right here, where I am. His statement, "In this place, death is not an escape, no matter how much you may yearn for it," was enough to make the audience shudder, but all that tiny figure did was raise her lifeless, dull eyes.
"Then help me, so I can remain here." She replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

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.

I met Arthur's eyes from where he stood; he looked tired, if not exhausted. But I don't care about his expression or anything he felt about it.

"You must be having the time of your life seeing you gawk like that," I blurted and looked away. Before I could even register his actions, he'd rushed and grabbed my neck obviously furious.

"You should've shut the fucking door!" He seethed. His grip on my neck wasn't so tight, at least I could still breathe.

"Why? I'm your plaything; you almost sound like I have much more effect on you," I blurted, and that made his grip tighter. He was now choking me as I gripped his hand, trying to pull it off my neck to regain freedom, but I couldn't.

When my CEO husband threatens divorce for the 99th time, this time trying to force me to hand over a million-dollar project to his assistant Chloe, I finally stop fighting.
I give him the project without a word.
He's thrilled. Thinks I've finally accepted my place. To reward me, he announces we'll throw a grand celebration for our fifth wedding anniversary.
Chloe finds out and falls apart. Locks herself in the supply closet. Can't bear the thought of watching us celebrate five years of marriage.
Arthur panics. Suddenly the anniversary party becomes a "client dinner" he can't reschedule. He'll take Chloe instead—she's been handling that account, after all.
"You understand how business works," he tells me. "We can celebrate privately later."
I see the photo she posts: Chloe in the restaurant he booked for us, wearing the dress he picked out, his hand covering hers across the table.
I tell him I understand.
He's satisfied. Promises we'll do something even better next month.
He doesn't know I've resigned. Doesn't know he signed the divorce papers three days ago when I slipped them into his contract stack.
We don't have a next month.
