The Billionaire's Contract

Some contracts have terms you don't see coming.

When financial analyst Lena Carter walks into Alexander Blackwood's boardroom and tells the tech billionaire he's about to waste seven hundred million dollars, she expects to lose the client.

She doesn't expect him to offer her a contract of an entirely different kind.

Five hundred thousand dollars. Ninety days. One fake relationship.

The arrangement is simple: appear at galas, charm his investors, convince his board that Alexander Blackwood is stable enough to trust with a second capital raise - and walk away clean when the clock runs out. Lena is a professional. She understands terms. She reads everything twice.

She doesn't read page thirty-one closely enough.

What she doesn't plan for is the man behind the performance.

The one who makes coffee for two without being asked. Who leaves his office door open when she's in the apartment. Who built a scholarship at his hometown high school ten years ago and told absolutely no one. Who says difficult things out loud, carefully, the way a person does when they've spent a long time not saying them.

What she doesn't plan for is Alexander Blackwood without the suit - and the discovery that the most carefully constructed man she's ever met has been quietly, methodically, learning how to let someone in.

For the first time in her professional life, Lena's analysis is failing her.

Because ninety days has an end date. What's growing between them doesn't seem to know that.

The Billionaire's Contract is a slow-burn contemporary romance about two people who are exceptionally good at strategy and completely unprepared for each other. It's about the cost of being careful - and what's waiting on the other side of putting it down.
