Buried Crown

Celeste Hayes doesn't believe in love-only business. After three failed engagements, she's

built a career as a contract bride, offering men a no-strings-attached marriage. No emotions, no

complications.

Ethan Caldwell needs an escape. His vindictive ex-wife is threatening his career and custody of

his son. A contract marriage with Celeste is the perfect solution-strictly business.

Until it isn't.

Celeste has always worn her independence like a crown, untouchable. But Ethan sees past her

walls. What started as a deal turns into stolen glances, real conversations, and something

neither expected-love.

But when old fears and past wounds resurface, Celeste must decide: walk away like she always

has or take a chance on the one man who wants more than a contract-he wants her as the

queen of his heart.

Will they break the contract...or rewrite their love story?
