THE CHRISTMAS TRAP: SILENT NIGHT CONTRACT
Sarah Mitchell
One brooding, emotionally guarded billionaire heir.
One fiercely independent, deaf communication strategist with a wedding to salvage.
One marriage of convenience that’s strictly professional… until a Christmas blizzard locks us in—and his silence speaks louder than any vow.
My boss needed a fake fiancée to save his empire.
I needed a stand-in groom to save my reputation.
When his grandmother demanded proof of love by Christmas Eve, neither of us expected to say “I do” for real.
Julian Thorne is cold, controlled, and infuriatingly protective—the kind of man who learns sign language just to argue with you properly.
I’m the woman who’s spent her life being overlooked, underestimated, and spoken over.
Our arrangement was play the perfect couple, secure his inheritance, walk away unscathed.
No feelings. No future. Just a contract.
Then the snow fell.
The estate went dark.
And suddenly, it was just us—no words, no pretense, just the language of touch, trust, and trembling hands in the quiet.
He claims he doesn’t believe in love.
I swore I’d never let a man define my worth.
But in the hush of a snowbound manor, with secrets circling like wolves and cameras watching from the walls, pretending became impossible.
Because when you’re the only one who truly *sees* him…
And he’s the only one who’s ever *listened*…
How do you walk away?
