The Billionaire and the Bucket List
(2027)(The first book in the Kisses and Contracts series)
A novel by Nellie Steele
She posted one drunken ad to cross a childhood dream off her bucket list.
She never expected the billionaire CEO of Titan Industries to answer it.
Technical writer Serena Monroe has spent her life playing it safe. Nearly forty, painfully single, and staring at the bucket list she wrote as a teenager, one wine-fueled mistake sends her life off the rails. Her anonymous online ad is simple:
Temporary husband wanted. One wedding on a boat. No strings attached.
Instead of ridicule...
she gets summoned to the office of billionaire Donovan Blackwell.
Donovan needs a wife.
Not forever.
Just long enough to help repair his public image before launching a campaign for the U.S. Senate. His proposal is straightforward: eighteen months of marriage, absolute secrecy, and five million dollars when the contract ends.
The rules are simple.
Don't fall in love.
Don't break the contract.
And never let anyone discover the marriage began as a business deal.
But as Donovan starts making Serena's forgotten bucket-list dreams come true—and Serena begins seeing the lonely man beneath the billionaire façade—the lines between obligation and genuine affection begin to blur.
Because pretending to be husband and wife is easy.
Pretending the feelings aren't real may be impossible.
The Billionaire and the Bucket List is the sweeping first novel in the Kisses and Contracts series, featuring one unforgettable couple whose love story unfolds across eight emotional, glamorous, twist-filled books.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
