The Billionaire's Sweetheart
“A billionaire with everything to lose. A woman with nothing left to give. A contract that could change everything. Lucas Anderson needs a wife, and fast. With his ruthless grandmother threatening to cut him off from the company unless he marries in six months, Lucas refuses to give in to her chosen bride, Carla, a woman he despises. Instead, he makes an unexpected offer to his new assistant, Emma Smith. Emma never expected to see Lucas again. Not after what he did. Not after everything he destroyed. But when he offers her a marriage of convenience that could change her son's life, she says yes. But she has one secret, she isn't just Emma. She's Mia, the woman he once loved... the woman he unknowingly lost. As past wounds reopen and feelings reignite, Emma and Lucas must navigate a web of lies, business, and buried truth. But some secrets don't stay hidden forever, and the closer they get, the thin line between love and hatred starts to blur.”
