He has put an expiration date on every woman he has ever wanted. She is the first one he asks to marry.
Billionaire Luca Beaumont believes desire is safest when the terms are clear.
No promises. No surprises. No feelings that cannot be controlled.
His carefully negotiated relationships earned him the fourth position on Manhattan’s infamous Billionaire Blacklist and a nickname he cannot escape:
The Playboy Clause
.
Naomi Pierce knows exactly why he belongs there.
As the founder of one of Manhattan’s most exclusive event companies, Naomi has spent years creating spectacular experiences for Luca’s luxury empire.
She has watched beautiful women enter his life with contracts, gifts, and predetermined endings.
After one nearly unforgettable kiss, he once offered Naomi the same arrangement.
She refused.
Now a crisis inside Beaumont Luxury Group threatens Luca’s control of the company, while Naomi faces losing ownership of the business she built from nothing. One marriage could protect them both.
Twenty-seven pages of conditions. Separate bedrooms. Complete independence. A guaranteed ending.
It should be the safest deal either of them has ever made.
But living together turns their carefully negotiated marriage into something dangerously real. A private city hall wedding leads to intimate nights in Manhattan, a shared suite in Monaco, and a husband far more attentive than the notorious playboy Naomi thought she understood.
Then their contract is leaked.
With Naomi’s reputation, her company, and Luca’s empire under attack, he falls back on the one weapon that has always protected him: control.
This time, keeping the woman he loves will require more than rewriting the terms.
Luca must destroy the agreement, risk the empire bearing his name, and prove that Naomi was never another arrangement.
She was always the only future he could not put an expiration date on.
The Playboy Arrangement is a full-length, steamy marriage-of-convenience billionaire romance featuring forced proximity, sharp banter, luxurious Manhattan and Monaco settings, a powerful heroine, an emotionally guarded playboy, an earned grovel, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
It is Book Four in The Billionaire Blacklist series and can be read as a standalone.
