"Desperation made him marry his cold boss!" --- By day, Adrian Cole is nothing more than a quiet shadow in the glittering empire of Alexander Devereux—the billionaire CEO whose power stretches across cities. As his secretary, Adrian fetches coffee, files documents, and hides his forbidden desire behind lowered lashes, knowing that attraction is dangerous when survival is his only priority. But by night, Adrian becomes Adrienne—the mysterious, breathtaking escort whispered about in elite circles. Draped in silk and secrets, Adrienne enchants the city’s most powerful men, earning what Adrian desperately needs to keep his mother alive. Until one night, everything shatters. The client waiting for Adrienne… is none other than Alexander Devereux. What Adrian doesn’t know is that Alexander carries secrets of his own. With his powerful mother demanding he marry to secure the Devereux legacy, Alexander needs a wife—a perfect society bride to silence scandal and fulfill duty. Love is a weakness. A plague. All he needs is a wife. But instead, Alexander finds himself captivated by the one woman who doesn’t exist. To protect his empire, he makes a ruthless offer: Adrienne will become his wife, his public mask, his possession. Now Adrian is caught in a dangerous masquerade. By day, he is the overlooked secretary Alexander barely notices. By night, he is the obsession Alexander cannot release—the false bride Alexander plans to parade before the world. How long can Adrian balance the fragile lies before desire burns through the mask—and Alexander discovers the truth? As deception twists into longing and duty ignites forbidden passion, Adrian may have started this game to survive… but Alexander plays to win.

Inheritance Sake:Married to the Unapologetic Heir

"I need your name to save my father's properties. You need my brain to save your future. Let’s make a deal." Samantha’s life was a testament to love and resilience. After losing her mother young, she was the one who brought a new mother into their home—Sarah, a woman whose kindness healed their broken family. With three thriving farms, two busy shops, and a new baby sister named after her late mother, Samantha’s world was perfect. Until the screaming tires and twisted metal of a tragic accident took her father away. Before the tears could even dry, the "vultures" arrived. Her father’s extended family, fueled by greed, invoked a hidden clause in his will: Samantha cannot inherit the estate—the farms, the shops, the houses—unless she is thirty years old or married before the age of 30. To save her stepmother and her toddler sister from being thrown onto the streets, she must find a husband. Fast. On the other side , The quintessential "Golden Boy," Arthur has been shielded by his wealthy parents his entire life. Spoiled, arrogant, and brilliant but lazy, he fought for a year just for the right to live in a university hostel instead of at home. But his freedom comes with a price: he must excel in his courses and prove he can handle his father’s massive corporation. Their first meeting was a disaster. Their second was a negotiation. The Contract: * The Marriage: Arthur provides the legal status Samantha needs to crush her greedy relatives and secure her inheritance. * The Tuition: Samantha, the top student in their course, becomes Arthur’s private tutor and strategic advisor in his father’s company. * The Rule: No feelings involved. In a battle against tradition, betrayal, and the shadows of the past, can a girl who lost everything and a boy who has had too much find common ground? Or will the weight of their secrets tear the contract—and their hearts—apart?
