The Contract series is one of Melanie Moreland’s best-known works. The original novel, published in 2016, uses the popular fake-relationship trope as its foundation. A cold businessman hires a woman to pretend to be his partner, but their arrangement turns into real love. The story proved popular enough to generate four follow-up books.
The series expanded with The Baby Clause, The Amendment, and The Addendum, tracking the couple through new challenges in their relationship. Published over six years from 2016 to 2022, the series gives readers a long-term view of a romance that started with a business arrangement.
