The Contracted CEO: A Marriage Of Convenience
“After a night of passion during her celebratory vacation, Cass disappears, leaving Marcus confused. Three years later, she is a top lawyer who gets outsmarted by her treacherous fiance. Losing a case that cost her career, the lawyer finds herself as the personal assistant to her fling. "Marry me" Marcus proposes a contract marriage. He needs to inherit his family's company to keep it out of the hands of his scheming step brother, and the only way to do so is to get married. He needed someone he could trust with his secret, and Cassandra was the one. With an offer she could never refuse, Cassandra was all in. After all, who wouldn't wish to know how everything became so messed up in her life? As they navigate their new arrangement, Cass finds herself falling in love with Marcus, but ex-lovers, a crazy bully and a scorned company threaten all that she holds dear.”
