He needs a wife by his 35th birthday. She needs a miracle by spring. Billionaire Thorne Callahan has six weeks to marry, or his late grandfather's company goes to the cousin who's been waiting years to take it. The tabloids call him Tech's Last Bad Boy. He calls love a transaction. Small-town librarian Ivy Marsh is out of options. Her father's heart surgery costs more than she'll earn in a decade, and the county is closing the library she's given everything to save. Then a stranger crashes his motorcycle into a fence on a rainy back road, and Ivy is the one who climbs down into the ditch. One year. Separate rooms. A contract with strict rules, and one Thorne adds himself: No falling in love. It should be easy. She thinks he's arrogant. He thinks she's impossible. But in a glass penthouse with no books, a one-eyed cat who hates him, and a grandfather's chair turned toward the wall, the fake marriage starts to feel dangerously real. And someone is watching, waiting for the perfect moment to tell the world exactly what Ivy was paid. A sweet, slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance with a brooding billionaire, a sunshine librarian, found family, and plenty of heart. Clean and closed-door, with kisses only and no profanity. Book 1 of a series, and it ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues in Book 2, The Contract Lie.
