My Beautiful Billionaire Nightmare

“You’re asking for trouble, little lamb.” I thought catching my fiancé cheating with my best friend was rock bottom. Then came the vodka-fueled night that incinerated my last shred of sense—and a stranger’s searing touch in a VIP suite that branded itself into my bones. He storms back into my life weeks later, and I learn his name: Thayne Slade. Billionaire tycoon. Forbes legend. The man who now owns my future. My stepfather stole thirty million from him. And I? I’m the collateral. Trapped in his glass-and-steel penthouse, stripped of every last freedom, I’m forced to play the role of his personal assistant—and his fake fiancée—a cruel stunt to spit in the face of his snobbish elite circle. Now I’m surrounded by sharks: a Hollywood heiress who sneers at me like I’m dirt, a father who calls me worthless, and a family that writes me off as a gold-digging tramp. In this world, money buys loyalty. Desire is a weapon. And Thayne Slade holds all the cards. Will I outsmart the billionaire who owns my fate? Or will I surrender to the nightmare that’s starting to feel dangerously like home?
