Contracted Hearts

When Elena Dawson is forced into a marriage contract with Alex King, the heir to a powerful business empire, she expects nothing more than a temporary arrangement-one designed to shield her from her family's financial struggles. With no love or affection between them, the two enter the union as strangers bound by duty. But the lines between duty and desire begin to blur when a manipulative stepmother, a disapproving father, and mounting public pressure challenge their fragile relationship.

As they spend time together away from the spotlight, Elena and Alex start to see each other in a new light, finding solace in each other's company despite the chaos around them. What began as a contract slowly morphs into something much more complicated as they grapple with feelings they never expected to develop. Elena must navigate the dangerous waters of family loyalty, ambition, and her growing attraction to a man who is bound by his own obligations.

But when Alex's father questions Elena's true intentions and pressures him to end the relationship, Alex is forced to make a difficult decision. Will he choose to stand by Elena, the woman who has proven herself strong and independent, or will he sacrifice everything to appease his father?

"Contracted Hearts" is a story of unexpected love, personal growth, and the delicate balance between duty and desire. Will a relation born out of necessity turn into a love they can't deny, or will the forces around them tear them apart before they have a chance to find happiness?
