The Forbidden Billionaire's Fake Fiancée: When Pretend Becomes Forever

She's chaos in stilettos and red lipstick.

And I'm the man who's always in control-until her.

I'm Damien Sharpe. Billionaire. Perfectionist.

I built my world on rules and order.

Then Mia Ramirez walks in-a barista turned fashion designer with sharp wit who embarrasses me in front of a packed coffee shop by calling out my perfect hair.

After that, I can't get her out of my head.

When we're thrown together for a Paris fashion and tech shoot, things explode.

For the cameras, we're the perfect couple.

Behind closed doors? Luxury midnight yacht cruises on the Seine. Private after-hours visits at the Louvre.

Her body against mine, her lipstick staining my skin.

Pretending spirals into wanting. Into needing.

The press can't get enough of us. Neither can I.

Then my grandmother drops her ultimatum: marry Victoria, or lose the family fortune.

I refuse.

Instead, I ask Mia to be my fake fiancée. No feelings. No mess. Just business.

But Mia never plays by anyone's rules.

She faces down high society in borrowed gowns. Handles Victoria with a single look. Stands up to my family with a fire that shakes my foundations.

Her dreams pull her toward Milan. My legacy tries to shape our future.

Every stolen night, every heated argument, pushes us further past the point of pretending.

If I let her go, I lose more than my fortune. I lose myself.

We started with a lie. Now everything depends on three words I've never said.
