The Billionaire’s Secret

HE BOUGHT HER SILENCE. SHE STOLE HIS CONTROL.

Elena Ross is desperate. To save her dying mother, she sells her soul to the devil in a tailored suit: Julian Thorne, the ruthless “Ice King” of New York.

The contract is simple: Work as his “Personal Archival Assistant,” follow his rules, and never ask about the blood on his hands. But when a rival syndicate threatens his empire, the job description changes. Julian doesn’t just need an assistant anymore; he needs a shield. He needs a fake fiancée.

Thrust into a world of galas, gunfire, and lies, Elena thinks playing the part of a billionaire’s lover is her biggest challenge. She is wrong.

A ghost from the past has returned. Anya, Elena’s twin sister—presumed dead in a fire five years ago—is alive, burned, and hunting them. She holds the one secret that can destroy Julian: the truth about the fire that started it all.

Trapped in a penthouse fortress with a man who is as dangerous as he is seductive, Elena must decide: Is she Julian’s partner, or his prisoner?

“I didn’t hire you to love me, Elena. I hired you to bleed with me.”
