Discarded Bride, Billionaire's Obsession
“She was replaced at her own wedding. He offered her the perfect revenge. Emma Hartley's wedding day became her worst nightmare when her fiancé, billionaire Adrian Castellan, let another woman take her place at the altar. For three years, she'd endured his coldness, his manipulation, his cruelty-all while believing she wasn't good enough. But she was wrong. She was too good for him. Enter Damien Cross-powerful, dangerous, and Adrian's sworn enemy. He makes Emma an offer she can't refuse: marry him, help destroy Adrian's empire, and walk away with five million dollars and her dignity restored. It's supposed to be fake. A business arrangement. Pure revenge. But when Damien looks at her like she's the only woman in the world... when his touch sets her on fire... when his protection feels more real than anything Adrian ever gave her... Emma realizes she's falling for her fake husband. The problem? - Adrian's not letting her go without a fight - Their marriage could land them both in prison - And Damien might only love the idea of her-not the real thing What started as a revenge plot is becoming the most dangerous game of all: love. Can a marriage built on lies become the most honest thing they've ever done? Or will their past destroy the future they're desperate to build?”
