Silent, unforgiving and strikingly gorgeous, Rylan Parker is a cold-hearted businessman. An intimidating CEO, perfectly fitted in tailored suits and with a soft side reserved only for his little daughter.
He can't afford to fall for anyone and definitely not for the blue-eyed blonde he met at the diner.
But when his grandfather's will demands he gets himself a wife, a contract-marriage seems to be the only option.
Living under the same roof with the woman he is undeniably attracted to can't be that hard! He just had to make sure of one thing.
He does not fall for his sensitive little wife.
But that was never really a choice, was it?
* * * *
Sweet, charming and affectionate, Elena Smith is mostly an emotional mess. Between working two jobs and worrying about her father's medical bills, she has no time for relationships.
But when the hot, arrogant billionaire puts forward a proposition, she's left to make a choice, a difficult one.
The fact that he is ridiculously attractive can't be a reason enough for Elena to put her signature on a marriage-contract with a complete stranger.
But her father?....Perhaps.
What's two years anyways? Just a little too much time to come out of this with her heart unscathed.

Signed, Sealed... and Suddenly Married
For over six years, Noa Parker has served as the unflappable personal assistant to Raymond Sinclair. But at his retirement party, Raymond drops a bombshell during his speech-introducing Noa as the wife of his grandson, Rowan Sinclair, the enigmatic and impossibly handsome CEO of Sinclair Realty. Stunned, Noa can barely process the words. To her, Rowan has always been nothing more than a professional acquaintance-albeit one with undeniable charm, devastating good looks, and a habit of showering her with extravagant gestures she assumed were just part of his generous nature. What she doesn't realize is that Rowan has secretly been in love with her for years. Unbeknownst to both of them, a hidden clause buried in stacks of paperwork-slipped in alongside Noa's employment contract and NDA, and tucked into Rowan's endless corporate documents-has legally bound them in marriage. Now, thrust into an accidental union neither of them saw coming, Noa and Rowan must navigate the shock and the new reality. As Rowan sets out to win her heart, Noa begins to see a different side of the man she thought she knew-and to question everything she thought she understood about love. Will she let her guard down and embrace the unexpected... or find a way to break free from this accidental arrangement?Complete
