Billion Dollar Marriage

I was never meant to be seen.

In the Astor family, I’m just the forgotten cousin, the girl in a plain black dress carrying everyone else's designer bags. But if I can keep my head down and follow the rules a little longer, my life under their manicured thumbs might soon be a distant memory.

Then Damion Keller happens.

Billionaire. Playboy. Man with a reputation so tarnished he's willing to buy a fake relationship with my socialite cousin to save his empire.

He’s supposed to focus on her—the perfect, polished Astor heiress. Instead, his eyes find mine across crowded rooms, his touch igniting something I've kept buried for years.

And then one reckless encounter crosses lines that can never be uncrossed.

Now I'm caught in an impossible game. Every stolen moment with him threatens the careful future I've planned. Every kiss pulls me deeper into a world where I don't belong. I’m betraying the powerful family who controls my destiny.

The Astors have destroyed people for far less…

I should walk away before I lose everything—my security, my chance at independence, myself.

Unfortunately, I've realized far too late that some desires can't be ignored. And some men won't be denied—especially billionaires who always get exactly what they want.
