Overview

A ruthless CEO. A principled attorney. One contract that was never supposed to mean forever. When a leaked video threatens a billion-dollar merger, New York's coldest power player, Damian Hale, needs a clean story-fast. Not a fake influencer. Not spin. He needs Sloane Parker, the company's razor-smart in-house attorney who can dismantle opposing counsel with a single line of red ink. His solution is unthinkable: a 90-day relationship contract-strictly optics, strictly contained, strictly no feelings. Her answer? Counterterms. Consent in plain English, a career firewall, and a safeword system that puts her agency in black and white. What starts as an enemies-to-lovers detente in a glass tower turns combustible on a Boston-NYC roadshow, a rooftop almost-kiss gone viral, and a Hamptons weekend where control begins to look a lot like care. But when the infamous ""No Feelings Clause"" leaks and the media paints Sloane as a gold-digger, her integrity-and their deal-go up in flames. She walks. He chooses transparency over power. And a boardroom chess match forces Damian to prove redemption on paper: real governance, real consequences, real change. Now the contract that kept them safe is the last thing standing between them and the truth: love isn't a loophole-it's a choice you make in daylight. The Cruel CEO's Contract is a slick, modern, high-heat billionaire/boss romance set in present-day NYC-with whip-smart banter, corporate intrigue, and a consent-forward love story that lands a devastating, tender HEA. Tropes you'll devour Billionaire / CEO boss Enemies-to-lovers & forced proximity (workplace + roadshow) Contract relationship (with ruthless redlines) Anti-hero redemption (power → accountability) ""Only one bed"" energy & rooftop almost-kiss Found family & best-friend ER nurse hype squad What to expect Heat: Steamy +18 (explicit but tasteful) Consent: Enthusiastic, on-page check-ins (Green/Yellow/Red), aftercare every time Power dynamics: Addressed responsibly-workplace safeguards, career firewall, no retaliation No cheating. No sexual violence. Smart corporate/PR stakes (board votes, mergers, leaks) with heart If you like: glossy NYC settings, morally complicated CEOs who learn to kneel to love (and policy), brilliant heroines who won't trade ethics for attraction, and motifs woven like a promise-glass (transparency), red ink (chosen risk), chess (sacrifice for love)-this one's for you. Standalone. HEA guaranteed. Enemies to lovers → partners on paper → lovers by choice.
