The Demon King's Contract Wife
Maya Hart, a nurse drowning in debt and caring for her sick younger brother, is offered a life-changing deal: marry a mysterious wealthy man for three years with no questions asked—and receive two million dollars. Desperate, she accepts, unaware that her husband, Kane Morningstar, is the feared Demon King of the Shadow Realm, cursed to walk the mortal world powerless for three years every century.
Kane's powers are sealed, leaving him human and vulnerable. He intended their marriage to be a transaction, but Maya's strength, compassion, and refusal to fear him slowly unravel the centuries of loneliness and mistrust he’s carried. As assassins, treacherous demons, and his former lover Sera attempt to sabotage him, Kane and Maya must navigate mortal danger and supernatural politics, discovering trust, courage, and love along the way.
When Lucian Drake, Kane's former general and eternal rival, threatens both realms, Maya chooses to bind herself to Kane through a dangerous soul ritual, granting him the strength to reclaim his throne. Together, they confront betrayal, war, and curses older than any living memory.
Through sacrifice, courage, and love, Maya helps Kane break a five-hundred-year curse—not with magic, but with genuine devotion. They rise triumphant, bridging the mortal and demon worlds, and prove that the strongest power isn’t domination—it’s choosing to love, even when the odds are insurmountable.
