Bought by the CEO: A Dark Billionaire Obsessive Romance

I thought signing the marriage contract would save my life. I didn't realize I was locking myself in a cage with a monster.

Jessica Baldwin is drowning. With her late father’s historic library facing imminent foreclosure by a predatory holding company, she is completely out of options and out of time.

Enter Erasmus Savage.

He is the ruthless, untouchable CEO of Chicago’s most powerful global logistics empire. He’s cold, brilliant, and currently facing a catastrophic public relations crisis that threatens his control of his own board of directors. His solution? A highly publicized marriage of convenience to a squeaky-clean, destitute librarian.

The terms of the fifty-page contract are wear his three-million-dollar diamond ring, smile for the paparazzi, move into his sterile sixty-story penthouse, and the debt destroying her life will magically disappear.

It was supposed to be a sterile business transaction. But behind the reinforced glass of his fortress, the rules begin to unravel.

Erasmus isn't just playing a part. He is fiercely, terrifyingly protective. He will literally shatter the bones of anyone who dares to touch her, and when they are alone in the dark, the starving, desperate reverence in his glacial blue eyes makes her weak in the knees. Jessica finds herself falling for the man behind the billionaire armor.

Then, she discovers the locked door in the East Wing.

Inside is a shrine. Five years of surveillance photos. Financial ledgers. The horrifying, undeniable proof that her husband didn't just stumble into her life to save it.

He engineered her ruin. He bought her debt. He manufactured the corporate crisis just to back her into a corner where she had no choice but to surrender to him.

Erasmus Savage thinks he has successfully acquired his ultimate prize. But he is about to learn that trapping a woman isn't the same as owning her—and the librarian he purchased might just be the only person capable of burning his empire to the ground.

Bought by the CEO is a full-length, standalone dark contemporary romance. It features intense psychological themes, a morally gray hero who will cross any line for the woman he loves, explicit high-heat scenes, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
