Money doesn't always drive the world; sometimes, it brings everything to a halt.

Magda Onassis and her two friends create a groundbreaking app that sends the banking world into a frenzy, making her a billionaire by twenty-six. Since her family cut her off financially at eighteen, she has longed for financial independence and to defy her haughty parents.

During a presentation to the company that tested their app, Magda encounters Ares Winter, the CEO of Winter Financials International. Sparks fly between them.

A notorious playboy, Ares pursues Magda with the intent of making her his next lover. He is captivated by her like no one else and will do whatever it takes to win her.

Magda is torn between wondering if Ares is using her attraction as a negotiation tactic or if he genuinely reciprocates her feelings.

No stranger to challenges, Magda's unsupportive family and unfortunate dating experiences make her highly suspicious of Ares' intentions. With her friends' encouragement, she prepares to face the man of her dreams head-on.

As soon as Magda becomes a billionaire, her life turns chaotic. Tabloid reporters, angry family members, and a persistent suitor invade her once peaceful life of beaches and surfing. Additionally, Ares' past comes back to haunt them, putting Magda's life in danger when their relationship is exposed by the press.

Time is running out when Magda mysteriously disappears. It's unclear if she left by choice or if the person Ares has kept locked away for fifteen years is involved. Urgency becomes paramount as Ares risks losing his first chance at true love. He will learn the hard way that not everything in life can be bought, regardless of wealth.

The Billionaire And the Banker

　　“I hate him,” Magda sniffed against Darya’s shoulder. She had returned from the gym, agreed to coffee with Angelo in the afternoon and was sitting on the floor in the kitchen. “Why did he call me now after I agreed to go out with Angelo?”


　　“I’m still trying to figure out why you’re going out with a giant beefcake of a man.” Darya snickered, he’s not even close to your type.”


　　“I’m avoiding my type. There has to be a reason all my dates wind up the way they do.” She exhaled. “How are you feeling today? Yesterday you told your parents to go fuck themselves. Any regrets?”


　　Magda’s phone rang again and she looked to Darya.


　　“Answer it, Mags. You’ll be wondering ‘what if’ if you don’t. You don’t have to see him or go out with him again but for your own peace of mind, answer it and then be done with it. Closure or whatever you want to call it.” Darya uncharacteristically pressed a kiss to the top of her head, “I’ll be in my room if you need me.”
