The Billionaire’s Blind Lust
For seven months, billionaire heir Donovan Knight has been obsessed with one woman: Scarlet Rose, the mysterious dancer who performs at the city's most exclusive club. He's offered her champagne, his penthouse, enough money to buy the entire venue, she won't even look at him twice.
Then one night, riding home from a performance, Harper Monroe crashes her bicycle directly into him. Donovan takes one look at her oversized glasses, frizzy wig, and unfortunate mole, and tells her brutally that she's not his type. Harper, who is actually Scarlet Rose in disguise, tells him he's an arrogant jerk and rides away.
Days later, their meddling mothers arrange a marriage between them.
Donovan is horrified. Of all the women in the city, he's being forced to marry the plain, boring girl who insulted him. Harper is equally disgusted, she's being pushed into marriage with the shallow playboy who's been harassing her alter ego for months.
They agree to a marriage in name only. Separate lives. Separate bedrooms. No emotions involved.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 - HARPER’S POVThe following day, I stayed in bed. Didn't go into the office, didn't move from under my blankets. I just slept until my body physically couldn't produce any more dreams. When I finally dragged myself out of bed and got ready for this ridiculous "husband audition," I planted myself in front of the mirror and really went all out.Perfect skin. Smoky, dramatic eyes. Bold red lips. My natural hair flowing loose, catching the light and practically glowing like flames. When I angled my head just right, I caught myself thinking, 'Damn. If he saw me looking like this, the man would probably drop to one knee and propose on the spot.'Then reality hit me like ice water.No. This was way too easy.I wasn't trying to win anyone over here. I was here to test him. Evaluate whether he was even worth my time, my secrets, my actual self. And honestly... wouldn't it be entertaining to watch him completely underestimate me?I grinned at my reflection, grabbed a makeup remover wipe, and systematically d

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 - HARPER’S POVBy the time I pulled my bike into the driveway and cut the engine, I was still fuming and muttering curse words under my breath."What an absolute jerk," I hissed, ripping off my riding gloves. "Can you believe that guy? He's supposedly desperate to meet me, offering ridiculous amounts of money, and then he turns around and calls me hideous."I swung my leg off the seat and just stood there for a second, letting the anger simmer.If he only had a clue.If he only knew that I'm the exact same Scarlet Rose he's been trying to bribe for seven months straight just to get ten minutes of my time.The same Scarlet Rose who makes grown men completely forget their own identities when I'm on stage.The same Scarlet Rose with four college degrees, a resume packed with accomplishments, and combat training that could take down half the security teams in this country.The same Scarlet Rose who moves across a stage in ways that leave entire audiences mesmerized."How many women out there can say tha

Chapter: CHAPTER 2 - DONOVAN’S POVI slid into my car and sat there for a minute, my adrenaline still pumping from that absolutely insane encounter. When my phone started ringing, I glanced at the screen and felt myself relax a little. The only human being on this planet who could actually calm me down.Mom."Hey there, gorgeous," I answered.Her laugh came through warm and bright. "My favorite son. Feel like stopping by tonight? It's been forever since I've seen your face.""Already on my way," I said, pulling out of the parking spot. "No need to convince me."There was something about the route to my childhood home that always made my shoulders drop and my breathing even out. When I hit twenty, my father had literally changed the locks and told me to find my own place, did the same thing to Marcus, my older brother. His logic? He wasn't about to compete with his adult sons for Mom's love and attention. Completely ridiculous, but that's just who he is. My sister got the boot even faster after one too many arguments, a

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 - DONOVAN’S POVSeven months. That's how long I'd been showing up at this club, and she hadn't given me anything more than a quick glance in passing. Never agreed to grab drinks after her performance. Never said yes when I suggested champagne in the VIP section. I even offered to buy her the penthouse suite at the Grandview Hotel for the night, hell, I told her I'd buy the entire damn club if that's what it took.Nothing worked.She was the only woman in this whole city who acted like I didn't exist, and somehow that just made me obsessed with getting her attention.Half an hour went by, and her set finished. Way too fast, like always. She took her final bow and headed offstage. I jumped up from my seat, determined to catch her before she disappeared into the dressing rooms like she always did. This time I was going all in with my offer.I managed to corner her assistant in the narrow hallway backstage. "One billion dollars," I said, keeping my voice calm and direct.The woman's eyes practically bulg
