THE ONE-BED CONTRACTUpdated at Oct 27, 2026, 11:37
She read every page of the contract. She just didn't read it fast enough.
Executive assistant Claire Kowalski has $61,000 in student debt and a boss who needs a fiancée by six o'clock. CEO Ethan Marlowe, a billionaire with a $1.8 billion company and a board watching his every move, offers a deal: pretend to be engaged to him through his IPO roadshow, and the debt disappears.
It's a fake engagement romance with clear terms. Then a freak blizzard strands them at a mountain lodge with one room left, one bed, and a pillow wall that won't hold.
Grumpy billionaire. Competent, guarded heroine. Forced proximity, slow burn, and a boss who is falling first, whether or not it's in the contract.
Some pages you can't skip. Some secrets are written in pencil.
The One-Bed Contract: a sweet billionaire romance about pretending, trusting, and what happens when the lie starts to feel like home.
