Successful CEO Kenneth Brey thought he had his life planned out nicely—until he hired supposedly straight Kelly North as this year’s holiday companion. For the past five years, CEO Kenneth Brey has advertised for a gay male holiday companion to join him on his single annual break. Although Kenneth claims to be neutral in his choice, he has certain non-negotiable requirements. Applicants must be between twenty-one and twenty-five, non-smoking, social drinkers, either versatile or passive, and be able to pull off the role of dutiful boyfriend in front of his clutch of gay friends. What does the candidate get out of the deal? An all-expenses-paid holiday and five grand in cash at the end, more if the candidate exceeds his expectations—a safe enough addendum, because for the past three years no one ever has. Kelly North sits in a quiet corner of the coffee shop, trying to finish an assignment. At twenty-nine, he is single once again. By now he should have settled down. But when his girlfriend of three years gives him an ultimatum—ring or road—he chooses the road. Worst of all, he has no qualms about doing so. As for his finances? Saddled with a string of outstanding student loans, he is struggling to finish his master’s while also supporting his brother through university. Losing his work at the estate agents’ could not have come at a worse time. Then he overhears the man at a nearby table recruiting for a job that pays a cool five grand. What does he have to lose?

When hardworking secretary Elena Gray wakes up in her billionaire boss’s penthouse after a drunken mistake, she faces a stark choice: sign a contract to bear Lucas Stone’s heir in exchange for a fortune, or lose her job and risk her mother’s medical care. The icy CEO of Stone Group demands the arrangement to satisfy his ailing mother’s wish for an heir, never expecting the pregnancy to upend his meticulously controlled life. As Elena moves into Lucas’s opulent manor, she navigates the treacherous waters of high society: his spoiled sister Sophia resents her, glamorous socialite Vivian Blake vies for Lucas’s attention, and the Stone family’s dark secrets lurk beneath polished facades. Despite their contractual boundaries, tension simmers between Elena and Lucas—his cold commands clash with unexpected moments of protectiveness, while her resolve to remain detached falters as she bonds with his kind-hearted mother, Amelia. When Elena’s estranged father surfaces to exploit her new status and her mother’s coma deepens, she must balance loyalty to her family with the dangerous allure of her pretend marriage. As the baby’s arrival draws near, Lucas finds himself torn between his icy facade and growing feelings for Elena, while she confronts a shattering truth: the contract may have bound them legally, but their hearts refuse to follow the rules. Set in the glamorous yet cutthroat world of European corporate dynasties, this tale of forbidden passion, familial duty, and unexpected love asks: can a marriage built on lies and convenience ever become something real?
