Stranger At The Altar

“Celeste never asked to marry Adrian Westwood, a ruthless billionaire with as many enemies as he has secrets. Their union, born out of necessity, was supposed to be a calculated arrangement. But from the moment she steps into his world, she's plunged into a high-stakes game of loyalty and betrayal. A bloody attack shatters the fragile balance of their lives, and the lines between business, danger, and desire blur. Whispers in the press, rivals lurking in the shadows, and a key leading to a past Adrian swore was buried all push Celeste deeper into a truth she's not sure she wants to discover. Allegra, the enemy who won't stay gone, plays her moves with precision, manipulating long standing loyalties, resurrecting ghosts, and dangling temptations that even Adrian's most trusted allies might not resist, and when suspicion turns inward, Celeste must decide who she can trust... and what she's willing to risk to survive. Meanwhile, drawn together by danger, they can't ignore the pull between them as their contract marriage slowly evolves into something newer. Adrian's protectiveness feels as dangerous as the enemies circling them, and Celeste finds herself craving the man she once swore to resist, but desire in their world comes tangled in power plays and whispered threats. Because power is currency and love is leverage and Celeste will learn that some vows are more dangerous than they appear, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.”
