The Matrimony Clause

"You don't want a wife, Sebastian. You want a performance. And I don't perform for men who think they can own me."

Sebastian Sterling is Wall Street's most ruthless CEO. A cold-blooded controller who views billionaires and business through the lens of strict logic. To him, emotions are inefficiencies. He has thirty days to secure a wife to inherit his family's multi-billion-dollar estate, and he has found the perfect candidate: Nora Wright, his fierce rival and the firm's brilliant Chief Financial Officer.

Nora is independent, sharp-tongued, and running out of options. With a five-million-dollar black-market family debt hanging over her head, she has no choice but to sign Sebastian's humiliating marriage contract. The rules are clear: share a bed, fake the passion, and fool the world.

But when they move into a fishbowl glass mansion under constant media scrutiny, the algorithmic boundaries begin to shatter. Forced proximity turns their calculated business arrangement into an explosive, late-night battle of wits and burning sexual tension. Nora isn't a damsel to be saved—she is the only wild variable Sebastian never saw coming.

When a devastating financial betrayal threatens to destroy them both, the ultimate controller must face a truth no spreadsheet could predict: to save his queen, he will have to rip up his inheritance, shatter his own empire, and fall to his knees.

The Marriage Algorithm is a scorching hot, dual-POV contemporary workplace romance. It features the enemies-to-lovers trope, a fake marriage contract, an obsessed billionaire alpha who loses his control, and a fiercely independent heroine. Safe, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after (HEA) with special cameos from the series universe! 18+ only.

Perfect for fans of:
• Billionaire contract marriage and fake relationship books
• Rivals-to-lovers office romance with high sexual tension
• Obsessed, possessive alpha heroes who fall first
• Strong, intelligent corporate heroines who hold their own
