Beyond the Protocol: A Fake Relationship Billionaire Office Romance.

By Helena Czech

Book Description:

Elena Vance has one goal: build a secure future for herself and help her sick mother. Falling for Alexander Sterling, the ruthless CEO of Sterling Industries, is definitely not part of the plan.

When Alexander's reputation threatens his position in the family empire, he needs a solution fast. His proposal is simple: Elena will pretend to be his girlfriend for three months. In return, she will receive enough money to change her life.

There are rules.

No real feelings.
No complications.
No future beyond the contract.

But the closer they become, the harder it is to separate performance from desire. Behind Alexander's cold control, Elena discovers a man burdened by family expectations, grief, and secrets. Behind Elena's independence, Alexander sees a woman strong enough to challenge him in ways no one else ever has.

Then Elena discovers a devastating truth connecting Sterling Industries to her family's past.

Trust shatters. The contract becomes public. Their careers are threatened. And both of them must decide what matters more: power, pride, or the love they never meant to find.

BEYOND THE PROTOCOL: The CEO's Forbidden Arrangement is a contemporary billionaire office romance filled with emotional tension, forbidden attraction, fake dating, family secrets, betrayal, redemption, and a powerful happily-ever-after.
