Adrian Cross does not believe in love. Only leverage. When a high-stakes merger threatens to collapse, the ruthless billionaire CEO needs proof he is stable, settled, and human. His solution is simple: a temporary fake boyfriend. Six months. Public appearances only. Exclusive access. Zero emotions. An airtight contract.
Struggling bartender Noah Reyes is one rent payment away from eviction when the offer lands in front of him. The money is life-changing. The man making the offer is cold, calculating, and everything Noah swore he would never trust again. But Noah signs anyway.
Their first public performance is electric. Cameras flash as Noah slips his hand into Adrian's. The chemistry surprises them both, a spark neither of them planned for. Back in Adrian's penthouse, rehearsed touches begin to feel too real. Arguments crack the polished surface Adrian shows the world. A rival's flirtation triggers sharp, undeniable jealousy that slices straight through the contract.
As the mask slips and possession turns genuine, Noah walks away with his dignity intact. Adrian is left alone in his perfect penthouse, realizing the only thing he cannot negotiate back is the man he was never supposed to need.
Contractually Yours is a high-heat, emotional MM romance featuring a fake relationship trope, possessive billionaire, slow-burn tension, public performances that turn private, and a hard-won transition from contract to something real.
