The Heiress Who Wouldn't Be Silenced
“Why did you accept the marriage?” Audrey asked, her fingers drumming impatiently on the table.
Lucas leaned back, his gaze drifting over Audrey as a lazy chuckle escaped his throat. “It's a contract.”
A bitter smile twisted Audrey's lips. “How many months do I have to pay off the debt?”
Lucas’ eyes snapped up, his brows furrowing into a shock. He hadn't expected her to be this....bold and unapologetic. He thought she would cry and plead for mercy.
“Twenty million dollars,” he muttered. “A debt even your father can't pay?”
…………….
Desperate to escape the $20 million debt her father leveraged to force her to marry Lucas Erickson, Audrey Sterling struck a deal with Thomas Whiteson, the heir of the Whiteson empire: pretend to be his fiancee for three months, and he'll pay off her debt.
But when she discovered she's an heiress to 40% share of her grandfather's company and can only claim it if she marries a man approved by her father, her world spun.
Thomas suddenly demands marriage, her father only approves of Lucas.
Trapped between loyalty to her grandfather's legacy, a deal with Thomas, and a heart falling for him, Audrey must choose: love or inheritance?
