[BL] Mr. Romano Contracted Husband Novel

Julian Thorne moves to the city after college graduation, staying with his cousin Marshal while seeking employment. Instead of a traditional job, he receives an unexpected proposition: $1,200 monthly to pose as the contract husband of Arcane Romano, a popular and handsome math teacher. Despite his former disdain for mathematics, Julian accepts the arrangement. Living together under one roof, an unexpected connection develops between them, though neither fully understands its nature. As their bond deepens, questions arise about whether their feelings transcend the contractual agreement. Julian finds himself competing for Arcane's attention amid his intelligent students and a particularly attentive colleague. He begins to doubt whether someone as clumsy as himself could truly earn Arcane's genuine affection, yet wonders if their relationship might become permanent beyond the contract's terms.
