The 365-Day Contract

He bought her freedom. Now he owns her body and soul... for 365 days.

Elena Hayes is drowning. Trapped in a crumbling NYC apartment, hunted by her abusive stepfather, and shackled by a $300,000 debt she never incurred , she's out of options and out of time. Silence is her only defense when violent pounding shakes her door - until salvation arrives in the most terrifying form imaginable.

Damien Blackwood. Billionaire. CEO. A predator in bespoke suits. Cold, calculating, and radiating power , he appears on her doorstep with an offer that's both a rescue and a damnation: become his wife for exactly one year.

The terms are ironclad, etched in ice:

• Live in his stunning Fifth Avenue penthouse, but in separate wings.

• Play the adoring Mrs. Blackwood in public, following a chillingly precise "affection protocol".

• In private, remain strangers. No personal questions , no unnecessary contact. Strictly business.

Desperate, Elena accepts, trading one cage for another, infinitely more luxurious - and perhaps, more dangerous. Damien erases her debts and removes the threat of her stepfather with ruthless efficiency. But living under his roof, under his constant, watchful gaze, ignites a tension that threatens to shatter their rigid agreement.

He demands control, yet his possessiveness flares with visceral intensity when another man looks her way. He insists on distance, yet the air crackles with forbidden electricity every time they're forced together. He calls her a "convenient" ghost , yet she seems to be the only crack in his icy facade.

Lines blur as hate simmers dangerously close to a consuming desire. Behind Damien's controlled exterior lie secrets darker than his tailored suits , and enemies who see Elena not just as a weakness, but as a weapon to destroy him. The man who vowed to protect her might be the greatest danger of all.

As the days tick down, Elena must navigate a treacherous game of power, attraction, and survival. Can she endure the contract without losing herself to the man who owns her on paper, but whose touch threatens to claim her entirely? Can Damien maintain his legendary control when the biggest risk to his empire - and his heart - lives across the hall?
