ONE CONTRACT. SIX MONTHS. ONE FAMILY SECRET THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING.
Amara Ellis is running out of time to save the Brooklyn brownstone her late mother left behind. The last thing she needs is a billionaire offering her a solution with strings attached.
Adrian Vale has everything money can buy-except control over his own inheritance. To secure his family's empire, he must marry before his thirtieth birthday and remain married for six months.
Their arrangement is simple: she gets the money to save her home, he gets the wife his inheritance requires. No promises. No expectations. And absolutely no falling in love.
But Amara's mother's past is tangled in the Vale family's darkest secrets.
An old photograph. Missing financial records. Anonymous threats. And a man who was supposed to be dead.
As Amara uncovers the truth, she begins to question whether Adrian chose her by coincidence-or whether their marriage was part of a plan set in motion long before they met.
The more she discovers, the harder it becomes to separate the man she's falling for from the family that may have destroyed everything her mother fought to protect.
Adrian must decide whether preserving his family's legacy is worth losing the woman he loves. And Amara must choose whether the truth is worth risking the future she's only just begun to imagine.
Because some contracts are written to protect a fortune.
Some secrets are buried to protect a family.
And some love stories begin with a lie-but can only survive the truth.
THE LAST NAME CLAUSE is a contemporary billionaire romance featuring a marriage of convenience, slow-burn attraction, family secrets, emotional twists, and a love that must become a choice rather than an obligation.
