The Eight-Night Contract

Executive Ariel Levitt is crushing it in the boardroom, but failing miserably in the dating world. Chronically single and drowning under the weight of her high-powered career, she dreads the annual onslaught of family Hanukkah events—especially the relentless scrutiny of her high-society mother, Elaine, and the competitive jabs of her sister, Rachel.With the eight nights fast approaching, Ariel decides to solve her problem the only way she knows how: by hiring a contractor.Gabe took the job for the twenty thousand dollars, a necessary financial boost after his painful divorce. A man who works with his hands, he's the exact opposite of Ariel's usual polished type. But his charming sincerity and ability to fix anything—including a major family property disaster—convinces Ariel he can play the part of her "serious boyfriend."Their contract is clear: no discussing past relationships, strictly business, and Gabe must memorize the three-page dossier on their fabricated life. But as the lavish parties, dinners, and charity auctions stack up, Gabe proves he can do more than fix a pipe—he can fix Ariel. He sees the ambitious woman beneath the executive armor, and she falls for the genuine man beneath the borrowed tie.As Rachel plots her final, devastating reveal, Ariel and Gabe must decide if their holiday miracle is worth more than the contract, and if they can embrace the messy, beautiful truth over the perfect, profitable lie.
