Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss

“"We're friends," I said. Aaron smirked. "No, we're not." His hand slid to my waist, pulling me closer. "Friends don't kiss like this." And when he did-hard, claiming-I felt the lie unravel. "Or think about each other like this?" His voice dropped, dangerous. "Stop pretending, Venus. I feel it every time you're near." "But you don't even like me." His smile was sin itself. "I don't have to like you to want you." Then came the offer-cold, tempting, inevitable: "No strings. No lies. Just truth." His fingers tilted my chin up. "Say the word, princess... and I'll ruin you." And God help me... I wanted him to. Aaron Sinclair needs a wife to secure his inheritance. Venus Carter needs a miracle to save her mother. A contract marriage should be simple. Controlled. Temporary. But secrets don't stay buried. As past betrayals, hidden identities, and a ruthless stepmother close in, their fake marriage becomes dangerously real. And in a world where power thrives on silence... Love might be the one thing that destroys them both.”
