Seventeen-year-old Claire Albrite claims she is the unluckiest teenager in the world. Her mom's dead, she has a horrible stepmother, and her dad hates her. She even compares her life to Cinderella's (Cinderella was poor. Claire's loaded. I see the similarities.). But Claire will soon learn that there's much more to life than dwelling on the bad (which actually might not be so bad after all). Especially when she finds out that her family is descended from a different planet. Even more so when she is destined to lead her people. Of course, that can only happen if she can find THE CRYSTAL. R&R!

She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself. Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home. She wants a real marriage. He gives her a contract instead. No reasons. No explanations. Just rules. But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building. Two strangers. One contract. A house full of tension. A heart full of secrets. A marriage that was never meant to feel this real. Tropes: ✨ arranged marriage ✨ contract marriage ✨ grumpy × sunshine ✨ rich × middle class ✨ fall-first-but-deny-it ✨ slow-burn tension ✨ emotional healing arcComplete
