She needs the money. He needs control. Neither of them expected to fall in love.
Lila Hart’s life is crumbling. She’s drowning in debt, her art career is dead in the water, and eviction is looming. Just when she thinks it can’t get worse, a lawyer contacts her with an outrageous claim—she is the heir to the Blackwood fortune, worth billions.
The catch? To claim the estate, she must marry Elias Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire with a dark past.
Elias built an empire with steel nerves and zero trust in anyone. When Lila enters his world, claiming she’s part of an inheritance he never agreed to, he’s ready to send her packing—until his company is suddenly under attack, and the only way to fight back is to go through with the marriage.
Forced to live together in a web of deception, Lila and Elias struggle against a fierce attraction neither of them wanted. As tensions rise, stolen touches turn into whispered confessions, and anger melts into smoldering, undeniable chemistry.
But trust doesn’t come easily for either of them. With enemies lurking in the shadows, will their passion ignite into something real? Or will their enemies tear them apart before love can take hold?
