HER CONTRACTED HEART

She needed the money. He needed the image. Neither of them needed feelings and yet.

Amara Cole has built her entire life on one principle: stay in control. smart, driven, and emotionally guarded after years of watching love destroy everything she worked for, she has no room in her carefully organised world for anything as unpredictable as a man.

Adrian Voss is exactly the kind of man she should avoid.

Ruthless. Powerful. Cold. The kind of CEO whose name makes headlines and whose past makes enemies. He doesn't need a partner, he needs a performance. A controlled, contractual, six-month arrangement that will protect his business deal, satisfy his investors, and disappear quietly before anyone gets attached.

She almost said no. She should have said no.

But the terms were generous. The timeline was finite. And the contract was legally binding, which meant safe, contained, manageable.

Except nobody told her heart about the fine print.

Her Contracted Heart is an emotionally charged, slow-burn romance that follows two fiercely guarded people as a business arrangement quietly dismantles every wall they spent years building. Set against a backdrop of corporate power, media scrutiny, and old wounds that never fully healed, this is the story of what happens when control meets its match and love refuses to stay inside the boundaries you drew for it.
