Love Does Cost a Thing
She thought running away would solve everything.
It was supposed to be an ordinary night. Until one terrible mistake sends Amelia Hart crashing into a billionaire's priceless car—and straight into the path of the one man she should have stayed far away from.
Terrified by the damage and unable to pay for it, Amelia runs.
But in her panic, she leaves her purse behind.
Inside it is something she desperately hoped no one would ever find.
A photograph.
A photograph connected to Damian Blackwood, the cold and ruthless billionaire whose car she just destroyed.
Damian has no intention of letting the mysterious woman who damaged his car disappear. When he finds her purse, he discovers a connection between Amelia and a tragedy from his family's past—one that raises questions he cannot ignore.
When Damian finally finds Amelia, he gives her an impossible choice.
Pay for the millions in damages she cannot afford...
or marry him for one year.
The arrangement seems simple.
One year.
One contract.
No love.
No secrets.
No complications.
But Damian has his own reason for wanting Amelia close, and Amelia is hiding far more than a damaged car and an old photograph.
As they are forced to live under the same roof, their hatred slowly turns into attraction, and attraction into something neither of them can control.
Then the secrets begin to surface.
Someone is watching Amelia.
Someone knows what happened years ago.
And someone doesn't want Damian to discover the truth.
The closer Amelia gets to the billionaire she was never supposed to love, the more dangerous her past becomes.
Because the car crash wasn't the only thing that brought them together.
And when the truth finally comes out, Amelia will have to decide whether she is willing to lose everything to save the man she was supposed to leave after one year.
Because love may be priceless... but it always costs a thing.
