Deception Has Its Price

About Deception Has Its Price

When a penniless artist enters a ruthless contract marriage with a vengeful billionaire to save her dying brother, she never expects to become the deadliest player in his cutthroat empire. Desperate for cash to fund her brother’s life-saving surgery, twenty-six-year-old Serena Vance accepts an impossible proposition from Damian Blackwood, the fierce titan of America’s most influential financial dynasty. Humiliated after his runaway fiancée bolts with his archrival’s heir, Damian faces total ruin and the loss of his family empire unless he marries immediately to fulfill his grandfather’s dying wish. To the high-stakes corporate world, Serena is nothing more than an obedient, convenient substitute bride. But underneath her gentle exterior lies an unstoppable survivor who refuses to be anyone’s pawn. As lethal corporate conspiracies, bitter rivalries, and buried secrets erupt around them, their icy transactional bargain ignites into a storm of raw passion and vengeance. Serena will dismantle every enemy standing in her way to protect those she loves, forcing Damian to confront the ultimate truth: this fake marriage is real, and losing her is a price he cannot afford to pay.
