THE STORY

About Darling, You Weren't in the Contract

It was only supposed to be a three-month trial marriage, a formality between two powerful families. But the heiress stepping through the door is no pampered socialite: she's a master hacker, a sharp businesswoman, and the keeper of a rare ancestral healing art. Esme Burke endures every test Caden Howard's family throws at her and throws every one right back.Along the way, she quietly saves her "husband's" life, and he slowly realizes she's "Lolly", the girl who lit up his childhood.What began as a contractual arrangement dissolves into something achingly real, and the two grandfathers' little scheme turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to either of them.
