Contracted

A drowning bakery. A billionaire's proposal. And the best friend's brother who is finally done waiting.

When reserved billionaire Declan Grant offers a marriage of convenience to save a failing family business, the contract seems simple: six months of fake matrimony in exchange for total financial salvation. But Declan isn't just a cold businessman; he is the man who has ignored his sister's best friend for fifteen years—or so she thought.

A sudden snowstorm traps the new "couple" in his sprawling Upper East Side mansion. Between the backup generators and a blanket-and-pillow nest in the library, the transactional veneer of their arrangement begins to crack. The problem isn't the cold; it's the realization that Declan has been playing the longest game in romantic history, and the price of his help might be the one thing she never planned to give: her heart.
