The Contract He noticed she was afraid of the wrong thing. She noticed he smelled like vanilla. Evelyn "Ivy" Wellington doesn't do elevators. Sebastian Blackwood doesn't do love. When they get trapped together at a literary gala, he makes her an offer: pretend to be his fiancée for one night. In return, he'll give her anything she wants. She wants a home. He wants someone who sees him - not his money. It was supposed to be fake. But the heart doesn't read contracts.
