The CEO's Forbidden Merger: A Steamy Billionaire Fake Engagement Enemies to Lovers Romance
Emma Belle Hart
I needed a miracle. He offered me a cage.
Elena Westbrook is one signature away from losing everything. After being passed over for a promotion she earned with blood, sweat, and tears, her only hope is to launch her own firm. But in the shark-infested waters of Manhattan real estate, dreams don't pay the rent.
Enter Julian Montgomery. Dominant, ruthless, and devastatingly handsome, he’s the billionaire who just dismantled her father’s legacy. He needs a fiancée to secure his inheritance. I need the capital to build my empire.
The contract is simple: One year. No real feelings. No touching.
But from the moment Julian slides a five-carat diamond onto my finger, the lines begin to blur. Behind closed doors, his cold gaze turns into a scorching fire that I can’t resist. He’s a man used to owning everything he touches, and now, he’s set his sights on me.
As our fake engagement becomes front-page news, the secrets of the Montgomery dynasty threaten to tear us apart. I thought I was closing a business deal, but I might have accidentally signed over my heart to the enemy.
The CEO's Forbidden Merger is a high-heat, steamy billionaire romance featuring an enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement arc. It is a standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA.
