We met at Valentine in Miami not knowing she is a billionaire
Billionaires Dante Kingston and Xavier cole-two of Miami's most eligible billionaire bachelors-had never lost at anything. Wealth, power, and women came easy. But at Valentine gala night when they both set their sights on Camille Moreau, a spoiled heiress with a taste for expensive chaos, they found themselves in a dangerous game where the winner still loses even though Dante had a taste of her.
Camille played them both, but the real heartbreak came when secrets unraveled.
Dante, sworn off love, meets Ava, a simple florist who doesn't chase after riches-or so he thinks. Just as he starts falling for her, he discovers she's been keeping a secret that shatters his trust: Ava is a billionaire heiress, hiding her status to find a man who loves her for more than her last name.
Meanwhile, Xavier finds himself drawn to Lena, a sharp-tongued journalist who isn't impressed by wealth. But just when he believes he's found something real, the truth comes out-Lena wasn't just dating him, she was investigating him. The heartbreak is public. The betrayal is personal.
As Miami watches, these billionaires must decide: is love worth the risk? I want Sophia
Billionaires I would choose you in every lifetime, in every version of this world." Jonathan's voice was a whisper against Sophia's skin as they stood on the penthouse balcony. "No amount of power, no wealth, nothing in this world could mean more to me than you."
Across the city, Selan sat in the ruins of his crumbling empire, drink in hand, eyes dark with regret. "I lost everything, but losing Sophia... that was the beginning of my downfall."
Meanwhile, Alex leaned back in his chair, staring at the woman who once betrayed him. His voice was cold, detached. "You left when you think I was nothing. Now you want to return because I have everything? Sorry, sweetheart. That door closed the moment you walked out."
But even billionaires weren't immune to longing. That night, Alex poured another drink, frustration lacing his voice. "Money fixes a lot of things... but it can't fix the feeling of an empty bed."
And in another part of the world, Bella wiped her tears as she confronted the man who shattered her heart. "Tell me... was I ever more than just another beautiful distraction to you?" Her voice trembled, but she held her ground. "Or was I just part of the game?" She could not hold back her tears anymore You might like
Chasing Back What's Mine
G-Aden "There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits.
We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word.
I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached.
"Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Jessica C. Dolan Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he's not letting me go. Craving The Wrong Brother
