The CEO's Contract Husband

The Cole and Whitfield groups can survive their debt crisis and complete a merger only if their sole heirs fulfill a founders' will and marry. Adrian Cole, a tightly controlled heir who has hidden his sexuality for years, enters a secret marriage with Leo Whitfield, an openly gay and outspoken CEO still scarred by an ex's betrayal. The business rivals become reluctant housemates and then lovers, while former partners, conservative family pressure, and Adrian's aunt Vivian threaten to expose them and seize the Cole group. At the decisive shareholders' meeting, Adrian publicly takes Leo's hand; together they expose Vivian, secure the merger, and celebrate a wedding they no longer have to hide.
