What's the price of one year of your life? For Lara Whitfield, the math is simple. A hospital bill she can't pay. Twin sisters whose tuition gap financial aid won't touch. A mother fighting her way back from illness. And a dream — a catering business called Whitfield's, mapped out in a green notebook she keeps under her mattress — that waitressing wages will never reach. She's been holding her family together since she was nineteen. She knows how to survive. What she doesn't know is how to say yes to something this reckless. Then Callum Mercer walks into her diner. He's thirty-three, the CEO of Mercer Holdings, and the kind of man who has never once been late to anything — including, apparently, the moment he decides to propose a business arrangement to a woman he's never met. His father's will carries a condition: marry before his thirty-fourth birthday, or lose the inheritance. The woman named in that will — recommended, not required — is Lara. The offer is five million dollars. One year. A contract that protects them both. She has twenty-four hours to decide. She says yes. But here's what neither of them planned for. They planned for logistics. For public events and shared spaces and the careful choreography of two private people learning not to collide. They planned for performance — the practiced ease of a couple that has something to prove. They didn't plan for 6 AM coffee already made when she gets to the kitchen. They didn't plan for sticky notes multiplying on a refrigerator that's never had anything on it before. They didn't plan for the way she'd talk about her dream and he'd listen — really listen — and quietly dog-ear the page. They didn't plan for the farmer's market at dawn, or cardamom cake that tastes like a memory he'd buried, or the specific way she laughs in the kitchen — unguarded, real — that he's started protecting without meaning to. And Lara didn't plan to understand him. To see, underneath the precision and the walls, a man who learned to provide for people because he never learned to be present for them. A man who was built by a father who loved a company more than a son, and who has spent thirty years quietly, methodically, making sure he never needed anyone enough to be abandoned. She didn't plan to become the exception. The contract has one rule she can't break. Don't fall in love. He said it on day one, flat and informational, the way you'd put a warning label on something dangerous. She laughed. She meant it, at the time. There was a reason she took this deal, and the reason was practical, and she was not the kind of woman who lost herself in circumstances she walked into with open eyes. But seven months in, she writes in the back of her green notebook — the one she only ever uses for business plans — I didn't plan to love him. It happened in the Tuesday mornings. And somewhere across the penthouse, Callum is on the phone with his oldest friend, saying the only honest thing he has left: "I don't want the contract to end." One Year, Five Million, and You is a slow-burn contemporary romance about two people who chose each other for the wrong reasons and stayed for the right ones. It's about what happens when survival and love arrive at the same door. When the most controlled man in the room meets the one woman who sees him without needing anything back. When a deal meant to stay clean becomes the most real thing either of them has ever been part of. It's about holding things together and learning — finally, reluctantly, beautifully — to be held. The contract was for one year. What they built was permanent. Perfect for readers who love: Slow-burn billionaire romance · Enemies-to-lovers tension · Emotionally complex leads who earn every inch of their happy ending · Stories where love isn't a lightning bolt but a slow, quiet fire that takes everything you have to walk toward

Anna thought her life ended the moment she saw her husband, Daniel Clafford, in the arms of her sister. She had already lost her unborn child something Daniel never even noticed and now, with her last shred of hope shattered, she decided to leave quietly. But fate was cruel. Before she could walk away, she was pushed off the balcony of the Clafford estate. Only… she didn’t die. When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day of her wedding, her sister having run away and Anna forced to take her place as the replacement bride. This time, Anna swore things would be different. No love. No expectations. No more foolish devotion to a husband who only brought her heartbreak and cold indifference. Yet something is wrong. The Daniel of this life isn’t the same man she remembers. He refuses to ignore her, refuses to let her go, and most shockingly—refuses to divorce her. “I’m telling you, Anna. Stop bringing divorce into our conversations,” Daniel warned, his voice taut. His heart ached, but seeing her unyielding expression made his resolve crumble. With trembling hands, he cupped her face and whispered: “Please… give me a chance. I promise I’ll love you right this time.” But Anna only laughed bitterly. To her, Daniel Clafford was still the same man—wicked, calculating, dangerous. He married her with a motive. And now he dared beg her to stay? Dream on, Daniel Clafford. Because this time… Anna was determined to make him taste his own medicine.

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs. She stiffened. Looking down, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.

For three years, Sienna loved a man who would never choose her. Alessandro Castellano kept her tucked away in his penthouse like a secret he was ashamed of—expensive gifts, whispered promises, and late-night confessions that felt real until morning came and he went back to his fiancée. Sienna told herself it was enough. That what they had was love, even if it lived in the shadows. She was wrong. The night she overheard him confirming wedding details with Vanessa, laughing about honeymoon plans while Sienna waited for him in silk lingerie he'd bought her, something inside her finally broke. Not dramatically. Not with screaming or thrown objects. Just quietly, like a door closing on a room she'd never enter again. When Alessandro walked in and saw her packed bags, he didn't believe she'd actually leave. "You'll be back," he said, so certain of his hold on her. "You always come back." But Sienna didn't come back. Six months later, she's not the same woman who cried in his elevator. She's built a life without him—a real career, real friends, therapy sessions that taught her she deserved more than crumbs from a man's table. She's even dating Dante Moretti, the charming businessman who looks at her like she hung the moon and doesn't hide her from the world. There's just one problem. Dante is Alessandro's biggest rival, and he knows exactly who Sienna used to be. Alessandro's perfect life, meanwhile, is crumbling. His marriage to Vanessa is a cold business transaction that leaves him hollow. Every woman he looks at reminds him of Sienna. Every night feels empty. He thought he could have it all—the socialite wife his family demanded and the woman who actually made him feel alive on the side. Turns out, you can't have it both ways. When he sees Sienna again at a gallery opening, transformed and glowing on another man's arm, something primal awakens in him. She's not his secret anymore. She's not his at all. And for the first time in his privileged life, Alessandro understands what it means to lose something irreplaceable. He'll do anything to win her back. Burn down his marriage. Destroy his reputation. Fight his own family. Prove he's not the same coward who let her go. But Sienna's not the desperate girl who waited by the phone anymore. She's found her power, her voice, her spine. And watching Alessandro grovel? There's a dark satisfaction in that she probably shouldn't enjoy as much as she does. The thing is, hearts don't follow logic. Chemistry doesn't care about self-respect. And when Alessandro looks at her with those desperate, hungry eyes and says, "I was a fool, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you"—part of her wants to believe him. Part of her still loves him. But love isn't always enough, is it? Not when trust is shattered. Not when Dante's offering her stability and devotion without games. Not when Alessandro's vengeful soon-to-be-ex-wife is determined to destroy anyone he cares about. Sienna has to choose: the dangerous, intoxicating man who broke her heart but might have actually changed, or the safer path with a man who's never made her cry. Except Dante has secrets too. And Sienna's about to learn that sometimes the person who seems perfect is just better at hiding their flaws. In a world of billion-dollar business deals, family expectations, and old grudges, Sienna's caught in the middle of a war she never asked to fight. Both men claim they love her. Both men want to possess her. But this time, Sienna's not anyone's prize to win. This time, she gets to decide her own worth. And whoever ends up with her heart will have to earn every single piece of it—because she's done giving herself away to men who don't understand what they have until it's gone.

They met as children and made a promise to marry each other someday. He never forgot. She did. Years later, she becomes an intern in his company, unaware that her “assistant” is actually the powerful CEO — and the boy from her past. To win her heart, he hides his identity, living humbly at her side, pampering her, protecting her, and enduring hilarious misunderstandings. Rumors call him “impotent” because he never lets women near him. She grows jealous of the mysterious girl in his photo, not knowing it’s her. Through devotion, comedy, and tender care — from cooking and belly rubs to kneeling in the snow all night — he proves his love. When the truth is revealed, will she forgive the lies and accept the man who has loved her since childhood?

"The more you run, the deeper I sink into the madness of needing you, My Rose." The blade sank in with ease. Blood splattered across the floor, warm on his skin, yet his deep laughter filled the room. His fingers were covered in bloodstains, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he brought the rose to his nose, closing his eye as he deeply inhaled, as if trying to draw every essence of her "Vanilla&Roses". "Oh, my sweetheart", he whispered, voice coated in something sinful."My love, My Madness'' His lashes fluttered as he drew in another breath. "You haunt me, Ella. In my veins. In my sleep. And every time I try to forget you, I end up crawling back to you. My only salvation,My only addiction, only mine." A year ago~ Blood soaked through his shirt. He was losing too much, too fast. And yet, all he could see was her trembling hands on his chest, pressing hard, her breath ragged as she held him upright. She pinned him against the wall to stop the bleeding. He could barely stand. His mask was on, but his eyes met her deep, wild, wanting. “Why are you helping me?” he rasped. She didn't answer with words; she just looked at him, as if he weren't a monster, and that was just the start of his unraveling. Since then, Sylus has returned to her, watching her. Craving her. Getting entangled in each other's worlds. She doesn't remember that night, or maybe she does? She became the only thing he wanted. The only thing he couldn’t have. Now she stands beside Asher, the man who thinks he can protect her. The man who touches what doesn’t belong to him. But " Sylus has seen every shade of Ella . The soft.The defiant. The ambitious, and each version pulled him deeper and deeper into his obsession for her" "My Ella. Eres mia," you belong to me." I let you loose just for a while, and now the hunt begins, sweetheart. There is no running from me." The story has just begun. An obsessive love triangle, tangled in secrets and desire. Where will it end? Who will claim her heart… or her soul? What is Asher hiding beneath his perfect smile? And what storm swept everything away, rewriting fates? The past is bleeding into the present. And this time, running isn’t enough.But the past never stays buried. Not when love turns to obsession. Not when two men are willing to burn the world for her.
