Summary and Teaser
I moved to New York City to build the future.
I never expected to wake up married to my billionaire boss.
Leaving behind my quiet life in Wisconsin, I came to Manhattan with one goal: prove myself as a software engineer at QuantumWave, one of the most powerful artificial intelligence companies in the country.
Then I met Luke Walton.
Brilliant. Ruthless. Infuriatingly handsome.
As QuantumWave’s icy billionaire CEO, Luke is used to being obeyed. Unfortunately for him, I have never been good at keeping my opinions to myself.
He thinks I’m reckless.
I think he’s an arrogant, controlling nightmare in an expensive suit.
From the moment we meet, every conversation becomes a battle. Every argument ignites something neither of us is willing to admit.
Then our rivalry follows us to Brazil.
Surrounded by the intoxicating chaos of Carnival, the line between hatred and desire disappears.
One reckless night.
One impossible proposal.
One moonlit wedding neither of us planned.
By morning, Luke Walton is no longer just my boss.
He’s my husband.
Now we’re back in Manhattan, married. But the deeper I’m pulled into Luke’s world, the more I realize his billion-dollar empire was built on secrets.
His family is fractured by betrayal.
His past is darker than he admits.
And someone is determined to destroy everything he has built.
Including us.
When one devastating revelation makes me question the night we married, I’m forced to wonder whether our wedding was truly a drunken mistake—or whether I was part of a plan I never saw coming.
Caught in a web of lies, family warfare, and a dangerous attraction I can’t escape, I have to figure out who is protecting me, who is manipulating me, and who wants me gone.
Because in Luke Walton’s world, the stakes are higher than heartbreak.
Every answer leads to another lie.
And the man I once swore I would never fall for is becoming the only person I trust.
I married him by mistake.
Falling in love with him could cost me everything.
Because becoming the billionaire’s unintended bride may have made me someone’s next target.
✦ Sneak Peek ✦
A few teaser moments from different chapters throughout BILLIONAIRE’S UNINTENDED BRIDE. These quotes aren’t connected—they’re simply a glimpse of what’s waiting inside...
“I don’t know,” I admitted, looking between the two of them. “If I’m being honest, I’ve just never felt that... click. You know? That feeling where you meet someone and suddenly everything just makes sense.”
Sarah nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe New York will surprise you.”
Sophia pointed dramatically toward the ceiling. “Exactly!” She looked back at me. “So promise me something.”
I sighed, already knowing resistance was futile.
“What?”
“If a cute guy asks you out...”
I already knew where this was going.
“...you’ll say yes.”
I laughed.
“That’s your big life lesson?”
✦ ✦ ✦
Max’s earlier remark about Luke being an Ice King echoed loudly in my mind...
When Luke finally ended his call and slowly turned toward us, the entire room seemed to stop breathing.
There he was.
The mysterious man I’d literally bumped into while out for a morning run...
The man I’d embarrassed myself in front of...
Now officially revealed as...
My CEO.
✦ ✦ ✦
“I’ve completely finished the tasks you assigned me,” I replied, my voice calm despite the frantic beat of my heart.
Luke stared at me.
“All of them? Emily, I expected that to be an entire team’s work for the week.”
I met his gaze without blinking.
“And yet, you assigned them to me alone on my second day.”
I tilted my head.
“Was this a setup for failure?”
✦ ✦ ✦
Silence stretched between us.
Then he spoke.
His voice dropped to a deep, quiet rumble.
“Face me, Emily.”
My breath caught.
“I... I can’t.”
