Billionaire's Contracted & Unloved Wife Novel

Ariel never imagined her own family would sell her to the highest bidder. When she discovers their sinister plan to trade her fate for her stepsister's freedom, she attempts the unthinkable—escape. But her desperate flight into the night takes an unexpected turn when she's abducted by the very people she was fleeing. The young woman awakens to a nightmare made flesh: forced into matrimony with a stranger, her future mortgaged for her father's debts. Yet everything shatters when she learns the identity of her unwilling groom—Aiden Chaz, the coldest billionaire empire in the nation.

Aiden carries his own scars. Haunted by his mother's betrayal—abandoned for a wealthier lover—he's sworn off romance entirely. When his grandmother pressures him into this arranged union with Hudson's desperate daughter, he sees it for what it is: another transaction rooted in greed. He'll comply, but on his terms. She'll bear his name, live in his palatial world, and never forget her place as a purchased commodity. Love? It will never exist between them. He'll ensure she suffers beneath his indifference.

What Aiden doesn't anticipate is the steel beneath Ariel's fragile exterior. Forced into opulence she never sought, she begins transforming from prey into predator. And Aiden, armored behind billions and bitterness, finds himself dangerously vulnerable to the one woman he swore to despise. The contract promised passion; neither expected surrender.
