Madeline Hawthorne
"Pretend you don't know me."
"Never touch me again."
"We're better off worlds apart."
Kieran Hawthorne
"Her love is intoxicating like a drug I can't quit."
"Please... don't leave."
"She's my home, Mom."
---
Kieran Hawthorne is a fiercely successful actor and model who has built his career on getting whatever he desires, yet he's trapped in a cold, unspoken secret-a loveless marriage to the one woman who drives him wild with both passion and frustration.
Madeline, on the other hand, is a new face in the industry. Her sole reason for becoming an actress? Him. Yet as they work together in the spotlight, they maintain a calculated distance, pretending to be strangers to the world, even as they share a bond that's anything but ordinary.
In public, they act like they can't stand each other. Behind closed doors, they're tangled in a love-hate struggle neither of them can escape.
Why do they cling to each other so fiercely, yet push each other away?

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?
