Beautiful Lies

I made a deal with a monster in a tailored suit.When my father died, I thought grief was the worst thing I'd ever face.I was wrong.He left behind dark secrets and a single lifeline keeping my mother alive-our family's hundred-year-old restaurant.Then Knox Vale walked into my life and ended my world with a single look.Cold in his eyes.Controlled in his movements.Catastrophic in every way that matters.Heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire-and the man my father didn't just work for...but betrayed.Knox owns the loan tied to our restaurant.With one signature, he could take everything I have left.Unless I accept his alternative:Marry him. For six months.A deal with a beautiful devil.To save my mother, I agree to his terms:A legal marriage.A perfect public lie.No love.No lines crossed.
