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 stood nervously next to Ares in the elevator of the hospital approaching the floor his mother was staying in, her foot turning over on its side rhythmically. She was bouncing up and down and she didn’t miss the smirk on Ares’ face. His mother was sweet and loving and, according to Ares, already loved her. It was a mantra in her head. It wasn’t making it better. She was terrified. He found it hilarious.


　　“Would it help to know I’ve never introduced a girlfriend to my mom before, especially one I’m trying to convince to marry me and have my babies?”


　　She elbowed him roughly and he gasped as her bony elbow connected with his rib cage. “Not helping.”
