Buried Crown

“Celeste Hayes doesn't believe in love-only business. After three failed engagements, she's built a career as a contract bride, offering men a no-strings-attached marriage. No emotions, no complications. Ethan Caldwell needs an escape. His vindictive ex-wife is threatening his career and custody of his son. A contract marriage with Celeste is the perfect solution-strictly business. Until it isn't. Celeste has always worn her independence like a crown, untouchable. But Ethan sees past her walls. What started as a deal turns into stolen glances, real conversations, and something neither expected-love. But when old fears and past wounds resurface, Celeste must decide: walk away like she always has or take a chance on the one man who wants more than a contract-he wants her as the queen of his heart. Will they break the contract...or rewrite their love story?”
