The Ardellane Heiress's Contract Husband (The Ardellane Marriage Contracts)
She tried to fire him. Now she has to marry him.
Celia Ardellane has spent her life protecting her family's legacy without surrendering control of her own future. But when a hidden inheritance clause threatens everything she has fought to preserve, the elegant heiress faces an impossible condition: marry-or lose the power to protect the people and institutions depending on her.
Davian Rook is the last man Celia would choose. Coldly disciplined, relentlessly watchful, and far too accustomed to giving orders, her security chief has made a career of standing between her and danger. He also knows someone is closing in-and a public marriage may be the only shield strong enough to keep Celia alive.
Their solution is a ninety-day contract. No interference. No unnecessary intimacy. No feelings.
But forced proximity exposes the desire beneath every argument, while a violent conspiracy reaches deeper into the Ardellane empire than either of them imagined. As staged appearances become private confessions and duty turns into devotion, Celia must decide whether trusting Davian with her life also means trusting him with her heart.
Because their marriage may have begun as a bargain-but the danger is real, the attraction is undeniable, and walking away could cost them far more than an inheritance.
The Ardellane Heiress's Contract Husband is a contemporary billionaire romantic suspense novel featuring a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, a fiercely capable Black heiress, her protective security-chief husband, family secrets, and a hard-won happily ever after.
