Bought by a Broken Heart: He Bought Her Future, But Not Her Freedom (Billionaire Romance)

Bought by a Broken Heart

He Bought Her Future, But Not Her Freedom

By Esther Blake

Serena Valez never imagined that saving her family would cost her own freedom.

With her mother’s life hanging in the balance and debt closing in from every side, Serena is pushed into a decision she never thought she would make, a contract marriage to billionaire Damien Cross, a man whose wealth can solve every problem except the one living inside him.

To the world, it looks like a dream. A beautiful young woman rescued by a powerful man. A luxury life. A grand estate. A name that opens every door.

But behind closed doors, their marriage is anything but romantic.

Damien is cold, controlled, and dangerously unreadable, a man shaped by betrayal and determined never to be broken again. Serena quickly realizes she was not chosen for love. She was chosen because she felt safe, manageable, and nothing like the woman who once shattered him.

What begins as a desperate arrangement slowly turns into something far more complicated. Tension deepens. Walls crack. Old ghosts return. And as Serena finds herself drawn to the man behind the silence, she must decide whether his growing care is real, or just another version of the control he has always used to protect himself.

But love built in the shadow of pain comes with a price.

As buried truths rise and emotional wounds reopen, Serena is forced to confront the most dangerous question of all, can a heart once treated like a transaction ever be loved freely?

Bought by a Broken Heart is an emotionally intense billionaire romance filled with passion, betrayal, wounded desire, family sacrifice, and the kind of slow-burning love that has to fight to become worthy of staying.
