TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT

In the ruthless world where fame is currency and beauty a weapon, Anya Averin - a breathtaking runway model and rising actress whose delicate allure echoes that of Thai star Enjoy Thidarat Pruethong, thought she had finally secured a lifeline: a one-year contract with Auryn Talent Group, the most powerful agency in Asia. But when she flips through the final pages of the agreement, one clause makes her breath hitch and her brow arch in disbelief.

"Work-Love Clause: The contracted party agrees to a year of exclusive engagement-both professionally and personally-with CEO Tarin Auryn."

Tarin, the cold, calculating heiress of the Auryn empire, is as feared for her brutal decisions as she is admired for her beauty - a beauty often likened to the reclusive Thai actress June Nannirin. To Anya, she is untouchable. Unreachable. A woman carved from glass and ice. But behind Tarin's iron facade is a loneliness just as sharp.

Bound by this unorthodox agreement, Anya must navigate a year of blurred lines - where every photoshoot and every staged event bleeds into private glances, charged silences, and a deep ache neither of them dares name. Beneath the glamorous facade, their hearts wage a quiet war between duty and desire, knowing that when the contract ends, only one question will matter:
Was any of it ever real?

A story of obsession, vulnerability, and the price of love in a world where everything - even affection - can be negotiated.
