THE BILLIONAIRE'S TEMPORARY WIFE

He was my first love. And my first heartbreak. Now, he's back-with a ring, a contract, and a proposition I never saw coming.

Darius Ferguson is a name that turns heads. Billionaire. Power player. The kind of man who can make or break anyone with a single deal. The world sees him as untouchable, unstoppable.

But to me? He's the boy who disappeared without a goodbye. The one who left me picking up the pieces of a heart he had no right to break.

Now, years later, he's standing in front of me with an offer too tempting-and too dangerous-to ignore.

Marry him. Be his perfect wife in public. Play the role until the ink dries on his biggest business deal yet. In return, he'll make all my problems disappear.

One year. No emotions. No messy entanglements. Just a means to an end.

It should be easy. Except nothing about Liam has ever been easy. He still knows exactly how to make my pulse race. Still watches me like I belong to him. And when he touches me, I forget every reason I swore I'd never let him back in.

But this isn't real. It can't be.

Because I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

Even if pretending to be his wife starts to feel a little too real.
