Virgin for the Billionaire: A Steamy BWWM interracial Multicultural Fake Engagement Standalone Opposite Attract Forbidden Romance (BILLIONAIRE OBSESSIONS #5)

EBELE
I made two promises I never planned to protect my grandmother's sacred plant knowledge that could cure cancer, and save myself for true love. But when developers threaten the wetlands where my rare plants grow, I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil.

They call him "The Vulture." Cold. Ruthless. The kind of billionaire who takes what he wants without asking. But when Declan Wakefield looks at me with those ice-blue eyes, I see something else—desperation.

"Pretend to be my fiancée," he says, "and I'll save your plants."

It's just business. Just pretend. So why does my skin burn when he touches me? Why can't I stop thinking about his hands, his mouth, the way he looks at me when no one's watching?

DECLAN
I built my empire by never showing weakness. Never revealing my true motives. But as I watch my mother dying from the same cancer that took my father, I'm running out of options.

Then Ebele Adeyemi walks into my office with her proud stance and brilliant mind, carrying the one thing that might save my mother—if I can convince her to trust me.

"One fake engagement," I tell her. "You get protection for your research. I get your formula."

Simple. Clean. The perfect business arrangement.

But nothing about Ebele is simple. Her Nigerian traditions challenge everything I thought I knew. Her integrity makes me question my own. And the fire between us when we touch—that was never part of our contract.

I've spent my life taking what I want. Now the one woman I can't have is the only one I truly need.
