The CEO's Forbidden Agreement (en Inglés) - Alisson Bento

In the glittering high-stakes world of Chicago's elite, Mackenzie "Mack" Carter is a survivor. After her ex-boyfriend stole her startup and left her with nothing but debt and a bruised heart, she has rebuilt her life brick by brick as a PR strategist for LuxeVerve. She is done with risks. She is done with trusting charming men.

Until a champagne-fueled mistake after her best friend's wedding changes everything.

Stumbling into the wrong penthouse at The Ainsworth, Mack finds herself face-to-face with Nate Callahan-a man with storm-gray eyes, a scar on his ribs, and a presence that commands the room. What starts as a misunderstanding turns into a night of unbridled passion that neither can forget. Mack leaves before dawn, leaving behind only her grandmother's silver locket and a fake name.

She thinks she'll never see him again. She is wrong.

Walking into a high-stakes meeting at her new job the next week, Mack is horrified to discover that LuxeVerve has been acquired by Callahan Global. Her one-night stand isn't just a stranger; he is Nate Callahan, the ruthless billionaire CEO, and her new boss.

But Nate is fighting battles of his own. Plague by internal sabotage, a plummeting stock price, and a reputation for being too cold and ruthless, his board is on the verge of ousting him. He needs a miracle. He needs a humanizing narrative. He needs a girlfriend.

The Proposal: Nate offers Mack a contract. $250,000. Ninety days. She pretends to be his girlfriend to stabilize the company's image. He pays off her debts and guarantees her career safety. The Rules: Public appearances, curated dates, and absolute discretion. The Clause: Section 7-"Private Engagement." Two nights a week spent in his penthouse to make the lie look real.

As they navigate galas, paparazzi, and the cutthroat corporate world, the lines between business and pleasure blur. Nate's protective jealousy flares, Mack's walls begin to crumble, and the intimacy they share behind closed doors feels dangerously real. But when a vindictive brother, corporate espionage, and leaked secrets threaten to tear them apart, Mack must decide: Is she just a paid asset in Nate's portfolio, or is this the love of a lifetime?
