HIS CONTRACT WIFE RAN AWAY
Ethan Calloway never planned to become a father. But when tragedy leaves his six-year-old niece, Sophie, in his care, the powerful billionaire suddenly finds himself fighting a custody battle he cannot solve with money, influence, or lawyers. Then Nora Hayes walks into their lives. She is supposed to help Sophie heal—not become part of the family. But Sophie trusts her. Ethan depends on her. And when his lawyers warn that his unstable home life could cost him custody, Ethan makes Nora an offer neither of them ever expected: Marry him for one year. It is supposed to be simple. A contract marriage. Separate lives. A stable home for Sophie. Enough money to save Nora’s struggling learning center. And when the year ends, they walk away. Except somewhere between school mornings, sleepless nights, family dinners, arguments, stolen kisses, and a little girl who begins calling them “my people,” the arrangement stops feeling fake. Nora falls in love with the family they accidentally created. And Ethan falls even harder. But Ethan has spent his whole life expressing care through money, protection, and carefully written agreements. So when their original reason for being married disappears, he makes the worst mistake possible. Instead of asking Nora to stay… he prepares another contract. Five more years. More money. More security. More promises written on paper. And not one honest sentence telling her what she desperately needs to know: Would he still choose her if Sophie never needed her? By the time Ethan finally realizes that love cannot be negotiated, Nora has already made her decision. The contract expires. Her wedding ring is left behind. And his contract wife runs away. Now the billionaire who could buy almost anything must learn the one thing money was never able to give him: how to make the woman he loves choose him freely.
