The Billionaire's Wife: A Fake Marriage, Enemies to Lovers, Age Gap Romance (Billionaire Brothers Book 3)

When Alec King—cold, commanding, and criminally handsome—needs a wife to close a billion-dollar deal, the last person he should choose is the feisty young woman who walks his dog and calls him out on every bit of his nonsense.

Alec is used to getting what he wants. At forty-two, he's built an empire on sharp instincts and iron control. But when his latest acquisition requires him to present as a devoted family man, his options are limited and his timeline is brutal. Enter Ella Reed: twenty-six, sunshine-bright, and currently the only woman bold enough to tell him exactly where he can shove his attitude. She's completely wrong for this. He asks her anyway.

Ella has exactly zero interest in playing house with a grumpy silver fox who barely knows her name—until he names a figure that would pay for vet school twice over. One week on a luxury Caribbean cruise. One shared suite. One very convincing performance. She can handle that. What she can't handle is discovering that beneath all that expensive armor and brooding intensity is a man who looks at her like she's the only person in the room.

The rules are simple: keep it fake, keep it clean, and walk away unattached. But somewhere between stolen glances and one undeniable, ill-advised kiss, the rules stop making sense entirely.

Alec always gets what he wants. The terrifying part? He's starting to want her for real.
