The Marriage Contract

Millicent Arthur has always been the perfect daughter-polite, obedient, and firmly under her family's watchful eye. Sandwiched between two accomplished older brothers and constantly nudged by her mother to find a "suitable match," Millicent's life has always felt like it was written for her. But what if she could break free and write her own story? When Millicent meets Jace Kwaku Elrod, a free-spirited, annoyingly attractive artist with a penchant for living on his own terms, she's intrigued. His world of color and chaos is the exact opposite of her neatly ordered life, and for the first time, she wonders if there might be more to life than dutifully following her family's expectations. Their chance meeting sparks an unconventional idea: why not fake a marriage to give Millicent the freedom to escape her family's matchmaking schemes? The plan is simple-pose as a married couple, attend family events, and keep their separate lives intact. Easy, right? But as Jace's mysterious past comes back to haunt him and Millicent's family pressures reach new heights, their carefully constructed facade begins to blur. What starts as a harmless charade soon becomes more complicated as feelings emerge, truths are revealed, and their fake marriage feels a little too real. Can Millicent and Jace navigate the tangled web of lies they've spun and uncover what they truly mean to each other? Or will their make-believe relationship crumble under the weight of their secrets?
