How far would you go to save someone you love? What would it take for you to break out of character? Or better yet...how much?

Shaina Richardson was raised to find the positive in every situation. It was a mentality that sustained her through trying times and despite teetering on the brink of breaking, her ability to discover the silver lining kept her smile intact.

However, when her mother falls victim to a life-threatening illness, Shaina struggles under the weight of financial obligations and finds herself ready to cave to her reality. Just before everything collapses around her, she is presented with an opportunity that will save her mother and change their lives for the better. Only one thing stands in her way-her moral code.

As her mother's health gradually declines, will Shaina hold true to her values regardless of who gets hurt? Or will she sell her soul to save the one person who remains in her corner?

The Contract is a tantalizing tale of love, lust, and loyalty.
