Nine Months

Francesca
I’ve always followed the rules—date the golden boy, smile for the cameras, and never stray from the path my parents set. But one reckless night with Ethan Castille—New York’s notorious billionaire—changed everything. Now I’m pregnant, my future is crumbling, and the only man who can salvage my reputation is the one who swore he’d never settle down. Surrendering to his plan is my only option…but the cost might be nothing less than my heart.

Ethan
I never wanted this. Commitment, fatherhood—none of it was part of my agenda. With a billion-dollar merger at stake and my family empire under fire, the last thing I need is Francesca Jordanno showing up with a complication I can’t ignore. But she might also be my only chance to save everything I’ve ever desired. So I make her an offer—a temporary arrangement—simple, convenient, and nothing personal. It’s supposed to be pretend, until the lies blur into something dangerously real.

Set against the backdrop of New York’s most powerful families, Nine Months is a spicy, contemporary romance that explores ambition, legacy, love, and what happens when one chooses freedom over expectation. It’s a dual-POV first of a series (The Castille Chronicles) with an emotional slow-burn, and a satisfying happily ever after.
