The Kingsley Contract

One arrogant billionaire.

One sarcastic barista who refuses to bow.

One dangerous contract that will ruin them both.

I thought Alexander Kingsley was just another rude customer.

A dangerously attractive billionaire with silver eyes, a cruel mouth, and the social skills of a granite wall.

He came into my café every morning, ordered black coffee like a command, and looked at me like I was something he might destroy just for entertainment.

So naturally… I insulted him.

Repeatedly.

What I didn’t know?

Alexander Kingsley doesn’t forget insults.

And he doesn’t lose control.

He takes control.

One night he walks into my café after closing, places a contract on the table, and tells me something insane.

He wants me to marry him.

Not for love.

Not even for appearances.

He wants an heir.

A temporary wife.

A woman who will sign a contract, move into his penthouse, give him a child… and then disappear when the deal is over.

In return?

He’ll erase my family’s dangerous debts.

Debts that could destroy my mother.

I should have said no.

I should have thrown the contract in his face.

But Alexander Kingsley is the kind of man who doesn’t ask twice.

Cold. Powerful. Untouchable.

And the more I fight him… the more he seems to enjoy the war.

Now I’m trapped in a marriage to a man who might be the most powerful criminal in the city.

He says I belong to him.

He says he will break me.

But Alexander Kingsley is about to learn something dangerous.

I may be the barista…

But I don’t break easily.
