The Billionaire Behind the Mask: A Forced Marriage Romance Filled with Secrets and Betrayal
About this ebook
Scarlett Hayes never imagined desperation would lead her to the altar. But when her family's financial empire crumbles overnight, she has one option: accept an arranged marriage with George Laurent, a reclusive billionaire scarred by a mysterious accident, feared by society, and spoken of only in whispers.
She expects cruelty. She expects to endure.
What she doesn't expect is a man who is cold but quietly protective. Disciplined. Wounded. Guarded in ways that make her want to understand, not flee.
But the Laurent household has secrets older than their marriage. His charming cousin Adam seems like the only warmth in a cold house until Scarlett realizes his friendliness has a price. And the truth about the accident that scarred George is not a tragedy, It is a crime.
Caught between dangerous family politics, a love she never asked for, and betrayal hiding behind familiar faces, Scarlett must decide who to trust before the truth destroys them both.
