The One-Year Pact: A Billionaire Marriage of Convenience Romance

By Helena Czech

Anna Bennett needs money. Desperately.

Her younger sister's medical treatment cannot wait, and Anna is running out of options.

John Whitmore has a very different problem. The cold, powerful billionaire is about to turn thirty, and his grandfather's will contains one final condition: if John wants control of the family empire, he must marry before his birthday.

His solution is strictly business.

One year of marriage.
Separate bedrooms.
Perfect appearances in front of the media.
No emotional complications.
And when the year is over-a quiet divorce and a generous settlement.

Anna agrees.

It should be simple.

But living under the same roof changes everything.

Midnight conversations reveal hidden wounds. Public kisses begin to feel dangerously real. Jealousy crosses boundaries that were never supposed to exist. And the man Anna believed had no heart slowly becomes the one person she can no longer imagine leaving.

Their marriage began with a contract.

But some promises cannot be written on paper.

And when betrayal threatens to destroy everything between them, John must decide whether protecting his billion-dollar empire is worth losing the woman he never planned to love.

THE ONE-YEAR PACT is an emotional slow-burn billionaire romance featuring marriage of convenience, forced proximity, family secrets, jealousy, powerful chemistry, and a happily-ever-after.
