Betty was the unwanted one-the adopted girl who was mistreated, ignored, and forced to endure a life of hardship while her foster sister lived in luxury. Every day she fought for scraps of love, yet found only cruelty.
But fate changed everything the night she saved an old woman, unaware she was Grandma Duke, matriarch of the richest family in the city. Out of gratitude, Grandma promised Betty the impossible: marriage to her powerful grandson, Duke Williams.
Duke, bound by duty and a secret contract, agreed. For one year, Betty would play the perfect wife-but only to please Grandma. What she didn't know was that her new husband was the most influential man in the country.
As Betty steps into a world of glittering wealth and dangerous rivalry, she must face jealousy from her sister, betrayal from her foster family, and schemes from Duke's childhood sweetheart-all while guarding a secret marriage that was never meant to last.
But somewhere between duty and desire, hate and hope... love begins to bloom. And soon, Betty will have to choose: walk away when the contract ends, or fight for a future she never believed she deserved.
✨ A Contract of Heart is a sweeping tale of #Romance, #FamilyDrama, #MarriageOfConvenience, #SisterRivalry, and #BillionaireLove. A story of betrayal, redemption, and a love strong enough to rewrite destiny.

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?
