The Billionaire's Unwritten Wife
The Billionaire's Unwritten Wife
“My name is Eleanor Whitmore, and I was sent to destroy him. Sebastian Calloway: cold, brilliant, untouchable. Britain's most powerful tech billionaire. A man whose fiancée died in a "perfectly clean" car accident... weeks before seventy-three million dollars vanished from his company. My job was simple: expose him. Instead, he offered me his last name. A contract marriage. One year. No love. No trust. No turning back. He says he's being framed. He says his fiancée was murdered. He says I'm in danger. I don't believe powerful men. But when someone tries to silence me, I realize the truth is darker than I imagined. Now I'm living in his penthouse. Wearing his ring. Sleeping in his bed. Pretending to be his wife. The world thinks I belong to him. The terrifying part? I'm starting to want to. And if I fall for the man I was supposed to destroy... It won't just ruin my career. It might get us both killed.”
