Bought by the Ruthless Billionaire
She was a deal. Until she became his obsession. Until he became her ruin. Until the lines blur.
Alina Carter has three things left: a mother in a hospital bed, an eviction notice, and twenty-four hours to find a miracle.
The miracle arrives in a black car, with an envelope, and a name she already knows to fear.
Adrian Voss. Billionaire. Ruthless. The kind of man people warn you about in the same breath they describe a natural disaster.
His offer is simple. Move into his penthouse. Attend his events. Play the role his world requires. In return, every debt is cleared, her mother is taken care of, and she walks away in six months with her life restored.
What he doesn't tell her is the truth behind the offer. That she is not a solution to his problem. She is the problem. Three years ago, Alina unknowingly destroyed one of his most important business deals — and Adrian Voss has never forgotten a debt.
She was chosen. She was arranged.
She was bought.
But somewhere between the cold terms of the contract and the man who keeps protecting her when he doesn't have to, the lines begin to blur. Adrian begins to feel things he didn't plan for. Alina begins to see a person underneath the control she didn't expect to find.
And then the truth comes out — all of it. The revenge. The manipulation. The years of planning.
when they are both in danger. The only person Adrian trusts with her safety is himself.
And the only question that matters is the one neither of them has an answer to yet:
Can something real grow from a foundation built entirely on revenge?
Or will the truth destroy them both before they get the chance to find out?
