Stolen Assets: A Fake Marriage Romance

Elara Sterling is one signature away from losing everything. Her family’s legendary textile empire is crumbling, and the vultures are circling. None are more dangerous than Julian Vane. Known as the Viper of Wall Street, Julian doesn't just buy companies—he devours them. But he doesn't want her machines. He wants her status.

The proposal is as cold as the ice in his a one-year marriage of convenience. He gets the pristine family image required to close a multi-billion-dollar international merger; she gets the capital to save her father’s legacy. It was supposed to be a simple transaction—public appearances, shared addresses, and strictly separate bedrooms.

However, behind the closed doors of his Park Avenue penthouse, the air burns with a tension that isn't in the contract. As the lines between performance and passion blur, Elara discovers that the man behind the ruthless reputation is far more addictive than the wealth he commands. When the merger is threatened and secrets from the past emerge, they must decide if their union is the ultimate liability or the greatest asset they’ve ever held.

In a world where everything is for sale, their hearts might be the only thing they can't afford to lose.
