contractmarriage

Rose Carter, a determined and kind-hearted college student, juggles multiple part-time jobs just to support her ailing father and her tuition. She's not rich, she's not famous, but she's a fighter. Her dream is simple—graduate, get a stable job, and give her family the life they deserve. Adrian Blackwood is a ruthless billionaire CEO, known for building a global empire before the age of 30. He’s powerful, cold, calculated—and never lets anyone get close, except Lily, the love of his life who recently left him to chase her dreams abroad. Adrian doesn’t believe in marriage, but his iron-willed grandmother gives him an ultimatum: marry before she dies, or lose the inheritance of the Blackwood legacy. To keep his empire intact and buy time until Lily returns, Adrian agrees to a contract marriage—with a girl his grandmother picks at random: Rose. They’re polar opposites. Rose hates everything Adrian stands for—his arrogance, his cruelty, his controlling nature. He sees her as a burden, a temporary placeholder, a nobody who doesn’t belong in his world. But Rose isn’t weak. She refuses to be just a name on a contract. Living under the same roof, sparks fly—sometimes out of anger, sometimes from something deeper neither of them wants to admit. Adrian tries to punish her for existing in Lily’s place. Rose fights back, challenging him at every turn. But as secrets are exposed, as past wounds resurface, and as they begin to truly see each other, hatred starts to turn into something much more dangerous: passion. And when Lily unexpectedly returns, Adrian must choose between the woman he once loved… and the wife he never wanted but now can't let go. Key Themes: Enemies to Lovers: Constant tension, insults, silent stares, slow-burn connection. Revenge: Adrian tries to make Rose suffer for what he believes is her manipulation—but she’s innocent. Passion: Unexpected chemistry, longing glances, stolen moments. Class Divide: Rose fights to prove she’s more than just “the poor girl.” Growth: Adrian begins to shed his walls, and Rose finds strength she didn’t know she had.

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute.

Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead.
