Revenge Bride

Emma Winters thought the worst thing about her failing jewelry business was the mounting bills—until billionaire Adrian Blackstone walked into her studio with an impossible proposal.

"Marry me for one year. Two million upfront, complete business backing, and your financial problems disappear."

She should have said no. Should have questioned why Manhattan's most ruthless CEO would want a contract wife. Should have wondered why he seemed to know so much about her family.

But desperation makes people do crazy things.

What Emma doesn't know is that Adrian Blackstone isn't his real name. Twenty years ago, her father destroyed Adrian's family and stole everything from him. Now, Adrian has spent two decades building an empire for one purpose: revenge.

The plan is perfect. Marry Richard Winters' beloved daughter. Use her trust to infiltrate the family business. Destroy everything Richard holds dear, then walk away.

But Adrian didn't plan on one thing: actually falling for his revenge bride.

Now he's caught between twenty years of hatred and a love he never saw coming. Emma's warmth is melting walls he built to protect his heart. Her success is making him proud instead of calculating. Her happiness matters more than his vengeance.

The question is: when Emma discovers the truth about why he really married her, will their love survive the beautiful lie that brought them together?

Some marriages are made in heaven. Others are forged in the fires of revenge. But sometimes, love can rewrite even the most carefully planned ending.
