Bound & Desired

When desperation meets destiny, some contracts are written in more than ink… Aria Thompson has twenty-four hours before she loses everything. Her daughter needs surgery, the bills are crushing, and eviction is imminent. So when a mysterious job posting offers $10,000 a month for a “personal assistant with discretion required,” she doesn’t hesitate. She just never expected the job to lead her to Damien Cross. The ruthless billionaire destroyed her father’s company five years ago, driving him to ruin and shattering her family. But Damien doesn’t recognize her. To him, she’s just another desperate woman willing to do anything for money. Living in his penthouse, managing his life, pretending gratitude to her family’s destroyer—it should be simple. Until paparazzi catch them in a compromising position and Damien makes her an offer: be his fake fiancée for six months. The pay? Two million dollars. Aria accepts—but not for the money. Playing the role gives her access to Damien’s secrets and the revenge she’s craved for years. Yet the man she lives with isn’t the monster she imagined. He’s protective, gentle with her daughter, and haunted by demons of his own. As their fake relationship blurs into something dangerously real, Aria uncovers the truth about her father’s downfall—and realizes she may be falling for the wrong man’s enemy. Because in Damien’s world, contracts are binding… but some promises are written on the heart.
