The Boyfriend Upgrade

Chloe Bennett signed a contract marriage expecting a business deal, not love. Yet months beside billionaire Adrian Vale have cracked open something neither of them planned: real feeling, real trust, and a bond that no longer fits inside the terms of their eighteen-month arrangement.

Adrian, meanwhile, is more entangled than ever. Jealousy, external pressure, family interference, and old enemies are closing in, and the secrets he has kept from Chloe grow heavier with every passing day. He tells himself he is protecting her. He is also protecting himself.

Then a document surfaces that changes everything: the Bennett Acquisition file. On paper it proves that Adrian did not rescue Chloe by chance at all. It looks as if he manufactured her ruin, engineered her desperation, and bought her life because he wanted the woman at the center of it.

Chloe walks out. But the truth behind the file is more complicated, and more dangerous, than a simple betrayal. Someone has been playing a longer game than either of them knew.

Reader note: this is Book 2 of a five-book billionaire marriage of convenience romance series. Books 1 and 2 should be read in order.
