Valerian Empire

Lies Before Vows is a gripping billionaire romance about duty, deception, and the unexpected power of love. Damon Caldwell, heir to a vast empire, must marry by year’s end or lose everything. Cold and logical, Damon fabricates a relationship with his grounded, no-nonsense secretary, Sienna Blake, just to escape his family’s matchmaking pressure. Sienna, burdened by family debt, reluctantly agrees—only to find herself thrust into the spotlight as the “secret Cinderella.” As the charade deepens through galas, vacations, and public appearances, real emotions begin to surface. Sienna glimpses Damon’s hidden depth and vulnerability, while Damon falls for her quiet strength and resilience. But their growing bond is tested by a vindictive ex-fiancée, media scandals, and a betrayal from within Damon’s company that costs Sienna her job. When faced with choosing love or legacy, Damon shocks the world by walking away from his empire to win back the woman he truly loves. Together, they rebuild from scratch, creating a company—and a life—based on truth, respect, and love. In the end, it’s not power or wealth that defines Damon’s success, but the woman by his side and the life they chose—together, on their own terms.

blurb: “You walked away from our marriage like it meant nothing.” “Because loving you meant losing everything I’d built.” “Then watch me destroy it.” Five years ago, billionaire heir Damien Blackwell made a devastating choice—he abandoned his secret husband, Luca Rivera, to protect his empire and hide his truth. No goodbyes. Just a cold betrayal that shattered them both. Now Damien needs a miracle. To claim his inheritance and take over the family empire, he must prove he’s legally married—and there’s only one man who fits the bill. But Luca is no longer the soft-hearted lover Damien left behind. He’s re-emerged as Lucas Vale, a ruthless tech mogul with a new name, a bulletproof reputation, and a heart hardened by betrayal. When Luca agrees to play the part of Damien’s doting husband—for a price—their fake reunion ignites a wildfire of buried passion, unresolved rage, and secrets that could destroy them both. Because one of them is hiding a secret that changes everything—and someone in Damien’s circle wants Luca gone... permanently. Love. Lies. Legacy. Will their second chance save them—or finish what heartbreak started?
