The Breakup Contract

Emma Clarke came to New York believing hard work would be enough.

Instead, she found herself drowning in rejection, debt, and the slow realization that the city she loved could forget her entirely. Then one accidental encounter changes everything.

A spilled coffee.

A ruined coat.

A man powerful enough to destroy her with a single decision.

Ethan Cross lives by control. His empire, his reputation, his future—every detail is carefully managed. But when a crisis threatens everything he has built, he offers Emma a solution neither of them can afford to refuse:

One contract.

Twelve months.

No emotions.

What begins as a calculated arrangement soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because the closer Emma gets to Ethan’s world of wealth and impossible expectations, the harder it becomes to remember where the lines were drawn in the first place.

And some people were never meant to stay temporary.
