But secrets lurk beneath the frosting, and Olivia's past threatens to shatter their fragile connection. Ethan must choose between his ruthless grandfather's demands and a love that could cost him everything. Can their unlikely union survive the media storm, a manipulative family, and Olivia's hidden truth? The Billionaire's Bride is a sweet and steamy story of defying expectations, finding love in the most unexpected places, and proving that sometimes, the most valuable things in life aren't bought with money.

After the Great War between humans and the Shifter races, an accord was struck, decreeing that the world would be ruled by a hybrid of the two races. The most powerful human family, a corporate dynasty, was granted the right to the first union with a Shifter leader. Whoever bore the first hybrid child would become the next ruler of the Alliance. In my past life, I married the werewolf Alpha, Jacob, and quickly bore him a wolf-human hybrid. When our son became the ruler of the Alliance, the werewolf clan’s power and influence soared. But my sister, Isabella, had always favored the beautiful elves. Her husband's philandering left her barren and riddled with disease after several miscarriages. She envied everything I had. In her rage, she orchestrated the car crash that killed my son and me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the Alliance’s choosing ceremony. Isabella had already mated with Jacob, brazenly showing off the mark on her neck. I knew. She was back, too. What she didn't know was that Jacob was a madman, obsessed with his bloodline above all else. Without a second thought, I let her have him. I walked toward the one they all feared—the notoriously brutal and bloodthirsty Dragon Lord, the Dragon King, Damien Wyatt.

Le jour de la cérémonie de marquage, j'attendais des fleurs et l'engagement, mais c'était la terrible nouvelle qui est arrivée : Liam, mon compagnon, avait disparu dans une tempête de neige, son corps jamais retrouvé. Je perdais mon amour, et le louveteau dans mon ventre perdait son père. Le chagrin a failli m'emporter, mais tous me répétaient : « Aurora, prends sur toi... Fais-le au moins pour ton enfant. » Le jour des funérailles, Jasper, le frère jumeau de Liam, est revenu des frontières avec sa compagne. Chaque fois que je voyais son visage, si semblable à celui de Liam, mon cœur se tordait de douleur. Jusqu'à cette nuit où j'ai entendu par hasard ma belle-mère Monique parler à Jasper : « Liam, tu dois continuer ainsi. Jasper est mort pour te sauver. Ta belle-sœur traverse une période difficile. Attends qu'elle accouche et trouve du réconfort, puis tu officialiseras ton union avec Aurora. » Un silence, puis la voix masculine a répondu : « Mais Aurora... Elle porte mon enfant. » Monique a soupiré : « Aurora est forte et compréhensive. Elle nous comprendra. » Liam, résigné, a murmuré : « D'accord... Je ferai comme tu dis. » C'était alors que j'ai compris : Liam n'était jamais mort. Ce « Jasper » devant moi... c'était LUI ! Le cœur en miettes, j'ai appelé mon frère Brice, dans une meute du Sud : « Brice, je veux rentrer. Liam est mort... Je n'ai plus rien à faire ici. »

Lorsque mon père m'a demandé quel homme je choisirais pour un mariage arrangé, dans cette nouvelle vie, je n'ai pas choisi Léonardo. J'ai opté pour son frère aîné : Ivan Vittorio. Mon père a été étonné de ma réponse. Après tout, tout Chicago savait que Léonardo et moi étions des amis d'enfance et que je l'avais poursuivi pendant dix ans. En tant que fille aînée de la famille Leavitt, mon nom figurait déjà à côté du sien sur la liste des mariages arrangés entre les familles. Tout le monde était persuadé que notre union était écrite dans le destin. J'ai souri tristement en repensant à ma vie précédente : j'avais en effet épousé Léonardo comme je l'avais toujours voulu, mais après notre mariage, il ne m'a jamais touchée. Je pensais qu'il avait une maladie honteuse et j'avais tout fait pour la dissimuler. Jusqu'au jour de notre sixième anniversaire de mariage, où, par hasard, j'ai ouvert le coffre-fort de son bureau et découvert qu'il y avait des photos de lui avec ma sœur adoptive, celle que j'avais fait adopter par mon père. Ils avaient même un enfant illégitime de deux ans. Leur photo de famille ressemblait à celle d'un foyer heureux. Ce jour-là, j'avais compris qu'il n'avait aucune maladie honteuse, mais qu'il ne m'avait jamais considérée comme sa femme. Plus tard, pour se débarrasser de moi, il s'était allié avec ma sœur et m'avait fait tuer. Maintenant que je suis revenue dans cette nouvelle vie, j'ai choisi de les laisser vivre leur bonheur. Mais lorsque je suis entrée dans l'église, vêtue de ma robe de mariée, et que je tenais la main d'Ivan, Léonardo est arrivé en courant, armé d'un pistolet. Il m'a crié comme un fou : « Mélanie ! » Sa voix était rauque, presque déchirée, « Tu oses l'épouser ? »

A century ago, the war between humans and beastkin nearly destroyed the world. To restore order, the five major beast clans—Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Serpent, and Peacock—formed an alliance with humanity. Under the Treaty of Balance, every hundred years, a union between humans and beastkin must occur. The first child born of this union—a half-beast—will inherit the throne and rule over the Human-Beast Alliance. In my past life, I chose Max, the Dragon Clan's heir. Known for his unwavering devotion and noble bloodline, he seemed the perfect mate. I gave birth to the first half-beast child of the generation—a rare white dragon. Our son was named the next ruler, and Max rose to unmatched power. My half-sister, Alice, chose the Tiger Clan—seduced by beauty, blinded by arrogance. Her husband betrayed her, and she was left barren and disgraced. She envied me. Hated me. One night, she drugged me, set our home on fire, and watched as the flames devoured me and my son. But fate was not done with me. When I opened my eyes, I had returned to the day of the choosing ceremony—the moment that would decide our mates, our fates, and the future ruler of the realm. Only this time… Alice had already climbed into Max’s bed. She had been reborn too. But what she didn’t know was this: Max is not the devoted prince she remembers. He is brutal. Possessive. A beast of blood, not love. And this time, I won't make the same mistake.
