BOUND BY THE BILLIONAIRE'S VOWS
Romance BLURB/SYNOPSIS:"You can't be serious." Darcey Washington folded her arms, staring at Damien Sinclair like he had lost his mind.
Across the sleek glass desk, Damien remained perfectly composed, his fingers steepled together. "I don't make jokes, Darcey. Not about business."She scoffed. "Business? Marriage isn't a business deal."
His lips curved into something that almost resembled a smirk. "For people like me, it is."
Darcey shook her head, gripping the blueprint sketches she had brought for his penthouse redesign,the job she had actually been hired for. "I came here to talk about interiors, not wedding vows."
Damien leaned forward, his piercing gray eyes locking onto hers. "And yet, here we are."Her pulse pounded. "Why me?"

Damien's gaze darkened. "No. I think you're smart enough to see a way out when it's offered to you."

"One year," he said. "No strings. No expectations. Just a contract that benefits us both."
Darcey swallowed hard, her mind racing. This was dangerous. But so was doing nothing.
Damien sat back, watching her with the patience of a man who already knew her answer. "What's it going to be, Darcey?"
Her fingers trembled as she set the sketches down on the desk.

How could that be a crime? Amaya murmured, pain tearing through her voice.
