The CEO’s Ultimatum. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance. Nathaniel Blackwood, an arrogant billionaire CEO, has everything, except the one thing his ailing father demands before handing over the family empire: a wife and an heir. With time running out and the threat of losing it all to his conniving half-brother, Nathaniel makes a desperate move, he proposes a contract marriage. His unlikely target? Sasha Bennett, the sharp-tongued waitress who once served him a steaming cup of coffee and a scalding dose of attitude. Sasha needs money to save her mother’s life. Nathaniel needs a bride. What starts as a cold business arrangement quickly spirals into a hot mess of clashing egos, fake romantic moments that feels a little too real, and sparks that refuse to stay buried. As Anthony, Nathaniel’s ruthless half-brother and biggest rival, tries everything to sabotage the fake marriage, the stakes grow higher. Navigating nosy family, corporate battles, and feelings neither of them asked for, Sasha and Nathaniel must decide: Can a relationship built on pretense survive the fire of reality? Will it end in a happily ever after or in heartbreak and regret?
