Loyalty isn't supposed to poison you. Power isn't supposed to defy physics. Hate isn't supposed to love you.

Forbidden Kiss β (Editing)
ππ+| A spicy enemies-to-lovers romance with a fake marriage contract trope. To find her missing best friend, Sofia Reyes is forced to marry her arrogant boss, only to realize her entire life has been built on lies. Can be read as a Standalone. || Book 1 of The Kiss Clause Series ************ Sofia Reyes has fought her way to the top of New York's legal scene, hiding scars she can't fully remember. But just as she's about to claim the promotion for Junior Partner she's worked so hard for, her best friend, and her boss's fiancΓ©e, Kiara, disappears. This forces Sofia into a marriage she never asked for; an alliance bound by secrets, contracts, and survival. Xavier Kingston is everything she loathes: ruthless, cunning, and impossibly arrogant. Yet behind his cold, calculating exterior lies a hunger for something real, something neither of them dares to admit. As Sofia navigates their fake marriage, the line between duty and desire blurs dangerously. Their chemistry ignites, but the truths Sofia uncovers: about the law firm, Kiara's disappearance, and her own hidden past, threaten to destroy everything. In a world of billion-dollar deals, betrayals, and forbidden glances, love might just be the deadliest game of all. **Cover image by Freepik** ** @TheWattys 2025 Shortlister in Romance ** **@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top pick) in Romance**Concluida
