One year. One baby. No feelings.
That's the contract... until chemistry sets it on fire.
Maya Ortiz is a curvy, no-nonsense freelance photographer drowning in medical bills and doing anything to save her sister's life.
Luca Vale is a ruthless tech billionaire whose board wants "legacy" on a timeline. His solution is brutal in its elegance: a one-year marriage with a baby clause, airtight NDAs, and zero hearts involved.
They sign. They swear it's logistics. Then the world notices.
A viral waltz, a media frenzy, a predatory rival, and a greenhouse full of stubborn tomatoes later... the line between contract and connection blurs. When real stakes hit-career, family, and the future they weren't supposed to want-Maya and Luca must decide if love belongs in the fine print or written in ink.
Marriage of convenience ➝ fake to real done right
Curvy heroine billionaire who learns softness without losing power
Fertility / "baby deal" trope with heart and heat
Forced proximity: penthouse cohabitation, shared calendar... and zero chill
★★★★★ "Contract turned love letter."
The media chaos, boardroom stakes, and that rooftop greenhouse ( ) made the slow-burn delicious-and the consent/therapy beats were chef's kiss. The grand gesture actually changes the rules, and the "Tomato Season" bonus scene melted me. - ARC review
★★★★★ Smart, sexy, and sincerely tender.
The writing is tight, the banter sparkles, the heat is open-door and respectful, and body positivity is baked into the romance. Loved the Working Hands thread and the foundation subplot. No cliffhanger, big payoff. This one sticks with you. - ARC review
Banter that bites, kisses that negotiate, and open-door steam (smoldering ➝ scorching)
A heroine who won't shrink to fit anyone's optics-and a hero who loves her bigger
Body-positive desire and enthusiastic consent
Found-family vibes: a chaos-gremlin best friend, a lethal-calm lawyer, an ice-queen matriarch who thaws on her own terms
A true happily-ever-after (no cliffhanger) + a warm bonus scene, "Tomato Season"
