Nine Months by Elena Marie

My socialite wedding is a foregone conclusion, except that I'm pregnant with the wrong billionaire’s baby.

I've spent my entire life as the perfect, obedient daughter, giving up my career dreams to play socialite for my family's sake. The reward? A prudent marriage to a hand-picked golden boy. But one reckless night with Ethan Castille—my sister's devastatingly charming and infuriatingly controlled best man—obliterates my carefully plotted future.

The consequences are brutal. When my parents learn the truth, they’ll disown me and strip away the trust fund that’s my only escape route. If the press finds out, the scandal will incinerate the billion-dollar merger Ethan needs to preserve his family’s empire.

Backed into a corner, we strike a desperate bargain: a temporary marriage to secure his legacy and protect my unborn child. But a contract can’t regulate the suffocating heat that flares every time we’re together. And there’s nothing temporary about the way his touch unravels every defense I've built. As our fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real, I'm terrified we're both falling for the one thing our contract forbids: each other.

With the press circling and secrets piling up, can a relationship built on lies ever become something honest? Or will the truth destroy us before we get the chance to find out?

Nine Months is a steamy, emotional contemporary romance packed with high stakes, unexpected surprises, and a guaranteed HEA. It is Book One in The Castille Chronicles family saga.
