THE TRILLIONARE SECRET

Leonardo "Leo" Maddox Cross is a ruthless trillionaire who built an empire through strategy, power, and cold precision. He doesn’t believe in love—only in leverage. To secure the most critical merger of his life, Leo needs one thing: a wife. A perfect, scandal-free partner who can stand beside him as part of a legal clause in a trillion-dollar deal.



Enter Ariana Blake—an independent, no-nonsense woman running from a painful past, trying to rebuild her life. When Leo offers her a marriage contract with clear rules, boundaries, and an expiration date, it seems like the perfect escape for them both.



But neither expects the spark that ignites between them. What begins as a transactional arrangement quickly morphs into something raw and real. Secrets unravel. Trust is tested. And Ariana soon discovers that behind Leo’s iron mask lies a man who just might need her more than he’s willing to admit.
