"Your father owes me eleven million dollars, Miss Bello. I'm not here to collect it in cash." Amara Bello had never seen this man before in her life, and now he was standing in her living room, holding her family's future in a folder under his arm. Kingsley Adair didn't ask her to marry him. He told her the terms, and gave her three days to decide whether her father kept his freedom or lost it. She said yes for her sister. She said yes for her father, even after everything he'd hidden from her. She told herself it was just a transaction, a name on a paper, nothing more. She didn't expect the man behind the cold reputation to bring her coffee the way she actually liked it, or to notice the exact moment a room made her uncomfortable and quietly fix it without being asked. She didn't expect to start wondering if the marriage he bought was starting to feel less like a debt he was owed, and more like something he actually wanted to keep. But Kingsley didn't marry her for love, or even really for the money. He married her to get close to a man her own father has been protecting for years, a man whose name is about to tear both their families apart. Now Amara has to decide. Keep believing in a husband who's finally starting to feel real, or face the truth about why he chose her in the first place, before that truth chooses for her.
