The Wife He Couldn't Buy
The Wife He Couldn't Buy
“THE WIFE HE COULDN'T BUY Amara never wanted to marry a man who believed everything-and everyone-had a price. But when her family is pushed to the edge of ruin, she finds herself trapped in a marriage contract with Alexander Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire who gets whatever he wants. And what he wants is her. Alexander offers Amara a deal she cannot afford to refuse: marry him, obey his rules, and he will save her family from financial destruction. In return, she must give up her freedom and become the perfect wife to a man who has never believed in love. There is just one problem. Amara refuses to be owned. Behind Alexander's cold eyes lies a past he would kill to protect. Behind Amara's defiance lies a secret that could destroy everything he has built. And when a woman from Alexander's past returns with a shocking claim, Amara discovers that her marriage may have been built on a lie from the very beginning. As enemies close in, dangerous secrets unravel, and unexpected feelings begin to blur the line between hatred and desire, Amara must decide whether to fight for the man who trapped her-or expose the truth that could bring his empire crashing down. Alexander thought he could buy himself a wife. He never imagined he would marry the one woman he could never control. And when the truth finally comes out, he may discover that losing her is the one price his money cannot pay.”
