Burning Desires (An Open Marriage With The Billionaire)
She was the good wife now she's the woman they can't control. One marriage, two men and zero rules.
Sophia Lancaster was the perfect wife—until betrayal taught her how to burn.
She built Lancaster Innovations, but let her husband Daniel Hawthorne wear the crown. She gave him her trust, her body, her future… until she found him in their bed with another woman and a cold smile on his face.
His twisted solution? An open marriage.
His pleasure? Her silence.
What he didn’t expect… was for her to say yes.
Trapped by a ruthless prenup and a sick mother she can’t afford to abandon, Sophia plays along but not for him—for herself. Her revenge begins the night she gives her body to Ethan Calder, a billionaire with dangerous eyes and darker appetites. He doesn’t just want her—he wants to ruin every man who’s ever hurt her.
And he’s not the only one.
As Sophia reclaims her power through seduction, dominance, and a slow-burning hunger for more, Daniel starts to spiral, now he wants his wife back but she’s not his anymore.
She belongs to the fire.
To pleasure.
To men who worship her.
One woman.
Two men.
No rules.
And no one’s ready for the woman Sophia’s about to become.

Chapter: 4: Her First SinSOPHIA LANCASTERMy palm still stings from my impulsiveness. How dare he? How dare he look at me with those knowing, assessing eyes and say those things?But beneath the anger, I knew I was wrong. Slapping him was a mistake, this was the second time my temper had gotten the better of me around that man, and it was cementing a reputation I didn't want.My fingers trembled as I scrolled through my contacts, I saw Lola’s name and pressed call."Lola," I breathed into the phone, pacing my room."Soph? You sound like you just ran a marathon. What's wrong?"I took a deep, shuddering breath. "I did something, Lo. Something really stupid." The words tumbled out, "I went to see Ethan Calder about that meeting I talked about and he said he wanted a relationship. I slapped him."Everywhere became quiet and for a moment, I thought the call had dropped. Then, I heard a loud shriek that almost made me drop my phone."YOU DID WHAT? Sophia, are you insane? You slapped a walking bank account? A Greek

Chapter: 3:Dangerous AttractionSOPHIA LANCASTERI stared at my reflection at the giant mirror in the room, I let out a deep breath fully dressed. I was supposed to meet Ethan Calder regarding the ridiculous business deal we were talking about. My phone buzzed on the dressing table and I picked it up, Lola's name flashed on the screen. I almost ignored it, but I knew she'd just call back."Hey," I answered, my voice flatter than I intended."Soph! I got your text. Seriously, what is with the doom and gloom? Why are you so down about Daniel wanting to turn your marriage into an open one? Seriously, girl, this is an opportunity!"I leaned against the mirror, "An opportunity for what, Lola?" I asked, my voice flat."To explore! To start building yourself, Sophia! You're still married, right? This gives you space to breathe, to figure things out. Who knows, maybe you guys can even find your way back to each other later."Her words meant to be comforting were like salt in an open wound. I squeezed my eyes shut, she didn

Chapter: 2: Auctioning His Wife SOPHIA LANCASTER"I have always wanted to meet you, it's quite surprising to see you in a gathering like this," Daniel said breaking his eyes away from me and I felt I could finally breathe. "I don't do business talks when I go to galas," Mr. Calder pulled out his business card, "call and schedule a meeting with my assistant." With that, he gave a curt nod turned, and walked out of the room. His perfume lingered as he walked away, I watched his broad shoulders until I couldn't see him anymore. Beside me, Daniel was practically vibrating with energy, his eyes fixed on the business card in his hand."Can you believe it?" he murmured, "Ethan Calder was here."I offered a small, noncommittal smile saying nothing. Daniel finally tore his eyes from the card. "He couldn't stop looking at you, you know.""I'm sure he was just being polite, Daniel. People look at each other at parties." I replied.He chuckled, "Polite? Sophia, a man like Ethan Calder doesn't do anything by accident. That was

Chapter: 1: Open MarriageSOPHIA LANCASTER The crystal flute felt cold against my palm. As the glittering gowns and tailored tuxedos parted and swirled across the ballroom, my eyes were fixed on a single person. Daniel, my husband had his arm wrapped around her waist, his head bent low as he whispered something into her ear. She laughed and threw her head back. It was the same woman I had found him with in our summer house just last week.I had walked in on them, there was no shame, no apologies, just later that night, he had laid out his grand solution which wasn't a divorce, not a promise to change, but a proposition of an open marriage."It's modern, Soph," he'd said, his voice casual as if suggesting we try a new restaurant. "We'd have our freedom, but everything all stays intact."My world had tilted, was that my worth? After five years of marriage, after shelving my own ambitions to build his, after being his shadow partner, his strategist, his ghostwriter, his everything... my reward was to be offered
