The Billionaire’s Forbidden Crush

The Story

Her fiancé ruins everything by gambling away their home, stealing her parents’ money, and tossing her ring into a pool. He orders her to retrieve it, but she slaps him and walks out. That night, a drunken kiss with a stranger changes her life. The man turns out to be Ethan Blackwood, her ex’s wealthy cousin, who has secretly loved her for six years. When her ex locks her out and sends creditors after her, Ethan offers a three-month marriage contract to protect her. She assumes he wants revenge, but she discovers he anonymously purchased every painting from the exhibition that nearly ended her career. As their arrangement becomes public before New York’s elite, she must determine if she is just another piece in his plan or the woman he has waited six years to choose him back.
