Signed, Sealed & Loved? [WLW]

"One year. That's all it'll take. In this marriage, I'll make your life a living hell. You'll hate every second of it, and by the end, you'll regret even knowing my name."

"My life's already a mess, Charlotte. Not sure what more you can do to top it. But go on, give it your best shot. Just try not to fall in love with me while you're at it, yeah?"

"And now, you may kiss the bride." the officiant declared, sealing the deal.

June Hayes is just another corporate worker-long hours at the office, late-night drinks with friends, and stumbling through her twenties with a mix of chaos and charm. But beneath her confident exterior lies a secret she's fought to keep hidden-a mountain of debt and a past she'd do anything to forget.

When her carefully guarded world crumbles, June is faced with an impossible choice: agree to a marriage contract with Charlotte Rutherford, a cold, calculating heiress she's never met, or risk losing everything. The terms are clear-stay married for one year, or until her crushing loans are paid off.
----
Charlotte Rutherford, the CEO of a powerful magazine empire, had her life meticulously planned, right down to her upcoming marriage to Sophie Harper. But her father's ultimatum shattered those plans, forcing her into an arranged marriage with a woman she knows nothing about. As her world unravels, Charlotte must now face a future she never chose.

What started as a simple transaction soon becomes something far more complicated. With power, pride, and unanticipated emotions at play, the line between obligation and something deeper begins to blur. The forced marriage they both dreaded might just change them in ways they never imagined.

One contract. One year. One question: what if one year isn't enough?
