Contractually Yours by Jace Wilder

A twelve-page contract. Strict boundaries. And a fake relationship that is about to break every single rule.

Julian Mercer is a thirty-six-year-old corporate litigator on the verge of making partner. He likes control, predictability, and unbreakable rules. He certainly doesn't do vulnerability. But when his firm's traditional partners expect to see him settled down with a respectable plus-one, Julian applies his legal mind to his personal he drafts a comprehensive companion contract and hires someone to play his perfectly compliant boyfriend.

Luca Reyes is twenty-eight, working his way through an art history graduate program, and he sees right through Julian's rigid exterior. Luca is observant, direct, and absolutely refuses to pretend. He challenges Julian’s need for strict control at every turn, refusing to be just another line item in Julian's carefully curated life.

What starts as a strict transaction—complete with a detailed spreadsheet to track emotional and physical breaches—quickly becomes dangerously real. When the blank intimacy clause of the contract finally gets filled out, the professional boundaries don't just blur; they completely shatter.

Julian thought he had prepared for every possible liability. But he never drafted a clause for falling in love.
