"Don't contact me if you're dying." When Keith Ingram utters those words, he doesn't know how much he'll come to regret them. For years, Ella Bryce has loved Keith from afar. When a fated contract marriage gives her one chance at happiness, she vows to make him see her. And just as her devotion begins breaking through his guarded heart, devastating lies shatter their fragile bond. Ella rebuilds her life from the ashes, determined to live on her own terms.

Fate is finally giving Keith a chance to see the truth he was denied from the beginning and win back the only woman he has ever loved. Will he make the same mistake twice... and lose his only chance at true love forever? A slow-burn, second-chance romance where a billionaire CEO must earn back the wife he so carelessly threw away.

Delilah Monroe has spent two years trapped in a marriage that was never meant for love. Born into wealth and bound by duty, she plays the role of the perfect wife in public-graceful, elegant, untouchable. But behind closed doors, her husband is nothing more than a stranger, cold and distant, as if she were just another business acquisition. Adrian Lennox has everything: power, fortune, control. But the one thing he truly wants-the woman he secretly loves-must never know the depth of his feelings. Love is a weakness, and in their world, weaknesses are exploited. He keeps her at arm's length, not realizing that in doing so, he's slowly losing her. Their marriage is a lie. Their love is untold. But when a spark of jealousy ignites old desires, and a whispered secret threatens to shatter their fragile façade, Adrian is forced to make a choice: keep hiding in the shadows or risk everything to claim what was always his. Because love may be dangerous, but letting her go might be deadly.

Neve Whitmore doesn't flinch in boardrooms, battlefields, or billion-dollar negotiations. As the CEO of Whitmore Corp, she's built her empire with ice in her veins and steel in her spine. But when the company teeters on the edge of collapse, there's only one move left on the board - and it involves a wedding ring. Gabriel Alistair is everything she doesn't want: calm, controlled, devastatingly charming. And dangerously gentle. In exchange for saving her company, he demands a marriage of convenience. No emotions. No strings. Just strategy. But Gabriel has no intention of keeping his distance. Not when Neve walks into every room like she owns it. Not when she looks at him like she can't afford to feel anything. Not when she thinks she can keep her heart off the table. What begins as a cold arrangement starts to burn - slow, deep, and impossible to contain. But in a world where vulnerability is weakness and power is everything... what happens when love becomes the biggest risk of all?

Charlotte Hevemeyer. At twenty-two, Charlotte Hevemeyer is a gifted civil engineer with a bright mind, a passion for travel, and a deep love for timeless romance novels. Raised under her father's protective eye, Charlotte has lived a life sheltered from the world's harsher realities. Despite her brilliance and independence, she still dreams of a love that mirrors the stories she reads, unaware that her life is soon to be rewritten by an arranged marriage she never saw coming. Jude Leland Balfour. At thirty-four, Jude Leland Balfour is the disciplined and sharp-minded heir to the vast Balfour conglomerate. Devoted to his work, Jude has little patience for emotional entanglements and views marriage as an unnecessary distraction. To him, success is earned through grit, not sentiment, and tradition is an obstacle, not a guide. Their worlds collide in a union neither wanted, bound by duty but tested by desire. Beneath the surface of appearances lies a story of clashing upbringings, contrasting love languages, and the thin line between resentment and connection. At its heart, Elites explores how lies can both destroy and create beauty in unexpected ways.

"So you didn't give me one. Don't you want to befriend me?" Oliver teased, with absolutely no expression on his face. If it weren't for his tone, I never would have guessed. "But you're my husband... my fake husband." My face scrunches in confusion, and he very slowly takes a step closer to me, and I immediately take one back I'm backed up and pinned between the wall and his very huge body. His left hand lands right above me on the wall, and his right one slowly snakes around my waist, and I shiver as a result. My eyes flutter closed, my breathing thickens as he bends until he's right in front of me. My heartbeat is going a thousand miles an hour as I feel his lips brush against my right earlobe. "Listen, and listen carefully, sweetheart," he whispers, his deep voice seeping trouble, and that nickname-I swear to God. "I am your fake nothing," he says, stressing the 'nothing,' his hot air fanning my neck. "Our marriage might've been a contract, but under no circumstances is what we have fake. You are my wife and will be until you have my fucking signature on the divorce papers. Got it?" With a shaky breath, I look up at him as I feel him pull his face away. __________ She was raised to follow the rules. He was born to break them. Sienna Martinez is the golden girl. Soft-spoken, smart, and graceful. She runs her family's business, keeps her reputation spotless, and avoids trouble until trouble walks in wearing a tailored suit and a devil's smirk. Oliver Salvatore is royalty, the next CEO of The Salvatore Group. Ruthless when needed, dangerously charming when he wants. Marriage was never in his plans until his brother and her sister ran away. But one year, one marriage, and one rule-don't fall in love-prove easier said than done. Especially when the girl he's been searching for fourteen years is the one standing right in front of him, and somewhere between the lies and the longing, they've already crossed the line.

Yara didn't lift her head right away. She was used to being ignored, not spoken to. When she did answer, her voice was small. Almost a breath. "They forgot me again," she whispered. "Who?" "My parents. They were supposed to pick me up." He blinked once. "So?" She looked at him then, really looked. "They always forget." Adonis didn't nod. Didn't frown. Just sat back on his heels. There was no sympathy in his face, but there was something else. Interest. Recognition. He understood what it meant to be forgotten. He stood up and looked down at her. "Do you want to disappear?" The question hung in the air . Yara didn't answer. She didn't know how. But the silence between them said enough. Adonis nodded once. "Come on." She hesitated. And then, quietly, she got up and followed him into the woods- not because she trusted him, but because he was the first person who hadn't looked through her.
