A Marriage Built on Revenge Amara Vale has spent years searching for the truth behind her father's disappearance and the financial scandal that destroyed her family. Now, a trail of suspicious transactions has led her straight to Blackwell International—and to Adrian Blackwell, its ruthless billionaire CEO. Adrian has his own reason for digging into the past. His father died believing that someone inside the Blackwell empire was moving money through a network connected to the same scandal that ruined the Laurent family. Neither of them trusts the other. But when an investigation makes Amara a target, Adrian offers her a deal she never expected: a one-year marriage. It is supposed to be nothing more than a contract. No forced intimacy. No interference in each other's investigations. Financial independence. Separate private lives. One year—and then they walk away. But the deeper Amara digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Someone wanted her father's name destroyed. Someone inside the Blackwell family may know why. And the man she has married may be closer to the truth than she ever imagined. Then her first love returns—with secrets of his own. As betrayal, revenge, and buried family secrets collide, Amara must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice to uncover the truth. Because their marriage may have been built on revenge... but what happens when revenge turns into love?
