--- **She kissed him for the cameras.** **He kissed her to control the story.** **Neither expected to fall in love.** Elena Vasquez was the "Ice Queen" of corporate law - until a single, viral kiss with her ex destroyed her reputation. Stripped of her career and branded a scandal, she's offered a deal: become the fake fianc e of Jax Monroe, the brilliant, emotionally detached tech billionaire who needs a perfect image to save his company. Their contract is clear: - No touching. - No feelings. - One kiss per week... for authenticity. But when their first kiss ignites something neither can control - when he plays her mother's violin in the silence of the night, when she sings to him in Tagalog, when the music between them becomes louder than any rule - the contract begins to unravel. As the world watches, they're forced to choose: - Play the part they were given... - Or risk everything to be truly seen. *The Contractual Kiss* is a spellbinding, emotionally rich rom-com for the modern age - where love isn't found in algorithms, but in the spaces between the notes. Perfect for fans of *The Hating Game*, *Book Lovers*, and *The Flatshare*, with the quiet soul of *Normal People* and the simmering heat of *Bridgerton*. A story about broken people who learned to love... not by fixing each other - but by staying. ---
