Terms and Conditions

Eleven pages. Six months. Two million pounds. One arrangement neither of them expected to feel real.

Nora Callahan knows how to control a story.

As one of London's sharpest crisis communications specialists, she is hired to protect reputations, manage scandals and keep powerful people from destroying themselves in public. She does not get personally involved. She does not lose control. And she definitely does not let a client become a complication.

Then Julian Ashford walks into her office.

A billionaire fund manager with a damaged reputation, a ruthless professional world closing in and an image problem that could cost him everything, Julian needs more than a press strategy. He needs a believable relationship. A polished public narrative. A woman by his side who can make the world believe he has changed.

The contract is simple.

Six months. Clear boundaries. Professional terms. No emotional risk.

But the fine print begins where the contract ends.

Behind closed doors, the arrangement becomes harder to perform and even harder to deny. Nora sees the man beneath the control. Julian begins to trust the woman who was supposed to manage his image, not reach the parts of him no one else has been allowed to touch.

And when public strategy turns into private desire, both of them must decide what happens when the most dangerous clause was never written down.

Terms and Conditions is Book One in The Arrangement series, a contemporary billionaire romance with fake relationship tension, contract romance, emotional slow burn, London high society, reputation stakes and a relationship that was never meant to become real.
