Hearts in Contract 🎀

*A Soft Romance Story* 🎀 Nineteen-year-old Emma Clarke has always been the sunshine in her family's storm. When her younger brother's medical bills threaten to destroy everything she holds dear, she makes a desperate choice that changes her life forever. Enter Adrian Cross—twenty-eight, devastatingly handsome, and the kind of man who commands boardrooms with a single glance. He's also completely off-limits. What starts as a simple arrangement—marry him for a year to help both their situations—becomes something neither of them expected. Adrian, who has spent years building walls around his heart, finds himself completely undone by Emma's genuine warmth and innocent spirit. But Emma discovers that loving a man like Adrian means accepting all of him—including the darkness he's spent years hiding. In a world of contracts and careful calculations, can two people find something real? And when the past comes calling, will their fragile connection be strong enough to survive?
