Title: "Terms and Conditions" by Lauren Asher

Synopsis:

Embark on a compelling journey of love, contracts, and unexpected emotions in Lauren Asher's "Terms and Conditions." Declan, destined to lead his family's media empire, faces a formidable obstacle – his grandfather's inheritance clause. The path to becoming the next CEO is clear: marry and produce an heir. When his efficient assistant, Iris, volunteers for the role, their contract marriage is meant to be a strategic solution, a performance for the public. However, as the charade deepens, doubts and genuine emotions emerge, challenging the very foundation of their arrangement.

Declan: Destined for the CEO role, I confront a daunting clause in my grandfather's will. Marrying and having an heir seems impossible until Iris, my assistant, steps forward. Our contract marriage is the solution to my biggest problem, but as we navigate the public charade, uncertainty about our arrangement grows. Caring for Iris was never part of the deal, especially as the inevitability of breaking her heart looms.

Yet, as our fake relationship intertwines with reality, resisting Declan's tempting allure becomes increasingly challenging. Falling in love was never in the cards for me, but what happens when the lines between our contract and our hearts blur?
