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

　　Magda giggled as she sat on a stool at the giant kitchen island wrapped up in Ares’ oversized bathrobe and he flung flour in her direction. He was wearing nothing but boxers as he prepared their breakfasts. They had gone for a soak in the hot tub and then a swim, both done completely nude and involved a lot of heavy petting and kissing.


　　She was discovering where he was concerned, she was becoming addicted. He couldn’t step past her without somehow touching her or putting his lips to her. He was very touchy feely and it was making her feel wonderfully special. She found herself leaning into every stroke and caress and wanting to touch him as much as he touched her.


　　Right now, because he was preparing their breakfast, she had been relegated to sitting on the stool and staying out of reach because she was a distraction and he’d already burned a pan of scrambled eggs kissing her mindless.


　　She giggled again as he kept trying to rub his nose on his shoulder. “Still itchy?”
