THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACT WIFE --- Adeline Carter had one rule after years of being underestimated. Never trust anyone with power over her life. Then she broke it. She gave up her career, her ambitions, and three years of her life for a man who smiled like love and planned like a predator. On the night she finally sees the truth—her fiancé in bed with her best friend, her family's company days from being stolen—she walks onto a balcony and straight into the orbit of the most dangerous man in the city. Damian Alexander Blackwood. Billionaire. CEO. A man so cold the business world calls him the Devil in a suit. A man who dismantles empires without mercy and has never once apologized for it. He offers her a contract. One year as his wife. In exchange, he will save her father's company, destroy the people who betrayed her, and walk away clean when the year ends. No love. No questions. No interference. She signs. But Adeline is not the broken woman Damian expected. She is a strategist who spent years hiding her brilliance behind a gentle smile. And the longer she lives inside his world, the more she realizes the contract was never as simple as he made it sound. Because Damian didn't choose her randomly. Her family is tangled in the darkest secret of his past. The enemy he has been hunting for fifteen years is closer than either of them knows. And the witness signature on their contract—dated two years before they ever met—belongs to her dead mother. As they fight enemies on every side, the walls between them begin to crack. He protects her without explanation. She sees through him without permission. And somewhere between the battles and the lies and the secrets neither of them planned to share, something neither of them signed up for begins to grow. But the truth has a way of destroying everything it touches. When Adeline finally discovers why Damian Blackwood has been watching her family from the shadows for years, she will have to choose between the love she never expected and the anger she has every right to feel. The contract said one year. It never said anything about surviving each other.
