Contract To Love

One photo. One headline. And Lena Hart—the PR strategist who's supposed to prevent scandals—becomes the scandal.When a viral snapshot makes it look like Lena is romantically involved with Adrian Sterling, the ice-cold billionaire CEO of Sterling Meridian, the board panics… and Adrian's ruthless aunt sees an opportunity. The solution isn't a denial—it's a deal: an eight-week, perfectly staged relationship to calm investors and secure a crucial vote. Clear rules. Controlled touches. Zero feelings.Except the cameras aren't the only things watching. Every gala, every hand-hold, every "e;boyfriend"e; introduction pushes the lie closer to the line where it turns dangerously real. Then the contract leaks—and Lena is branded, humiliated, and offered a golden exit that feels like exile.Now Adrian has to choose: protect the system he built… or burn it down for the woman he can't stop wanting—for real, in public, no contract required.
