The Cost of a Crash: The Billionaire's Pretend Wife
“After crashing into billionaire Darius Rothwell's brand-new car, Arielle thought her life was over. She didn't expect him to demand something far worse than money. A marriage. Three months. One contract. No feelings allowed. But pretending to be the wife of a cold, calculating CEO is dangerous, especially when Arielle is hiding a secret powerful enough to shake an entire royal bloodline. And when her past comes hunting her down, Darius may not be pretending anymore. It was left to Arielle to choose who she really wanted to be with.”
