The Billionaire’s Emergency Bride
She was a girl with a debt she couldn't pay. He was a king with a throne he couldn't lose.
Talia Jett is 48 hours away from losing everything. After her brother’s "sure-thing" investment turned out to be a scam involving the city’s most dangerous loan sharks, she’s been given an ultimatum: pay back two million dollars or pay with her life.
Desperate, she takes a high-stakes catering gig at the Vane Plaza to scout a way out. But a wrong turn leads her into the penthouse of Soren Vane—a man whose heart is as cold as the steel towers he owns.
Soren is facing his own execution: a corporate coup. If he doesn’t clean up his "playboy" image before the merger of the century, he’ll be stripped of his empire. When a rival socialite corners him with the paparazzi in tow, Soren sees Talia—hidden in the shadows, trembling and beautiful.
He doesn't ask. He claims.
With one bone-melting kiss in front of a dozen cameras, he makes her the most famous woman in the world.
"Meet my fiancée," he tells the flashing bulbs.
The Deal: Soren pays off her debt to the loan sharks and provides her brother with a round-the-clock security detail.
The Price: Talia belongs to him for one year. She must live in his house, share his bed for the cameras, and sign a contract that forbids her from ever leaving his side.
Talia thought the loan sharks were the most dangerous men she’d ever met. She was wrong. Because while the sharks wanted her money, Soren Vane wants something much more expensive.
He wants her soul. And in this marriage of convenience, the fine print might just break her heart.
