Diamond Deception: A Fake Engagement Romance
Emma Belle Hart
He needed a fiancée to save his empire. I needed my family legacy back.
Julian Thorne is the coldest man in Manhattan, a billionaire with a heart of tempered steel and a reputation for destroying anyone in his path. When he liquidates my family’s boutique, I walk into his office expecting a fight. Instead, I get a proposal. One year of playing his devoted bride-to-be in exchange for the keys to my past. It should be simple: wear the ring, smile for the cameras, and never forget that every touch is part of the contract.
But the way Julian looks at me when the doors are closed isn't in the script. His hands are too possessive, his kisses too real, and the heat between us is enough to incinerate the legal documents binding us together. As the lines between the lie and the truth begin to blur, I realize that the man who stole my business might be the only one who can steal my heart. In a world of high-stakes mergers and ruthless secrets, falling for the enemy is the most dangerous gamble of all.
One ring. Two enemies. A lie that feels far too much like love.
