The Unintended Marriage: A powerful billionaire romance of forbidden love and betrayal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798319204400)

Roman Knight has everything a man could want-wealth, power, and a spotless reputation. But beneath the surface, a painful past has left its mark. Scarred by betrayal and distrust, Roman keeps everyone at arm's length, building a fortress around his heart. That is, until a high-stakes bet changes everything.

To secure a prestigious promotion, Roman needs a wife. Someone with the right social standing, someone who can make him look perfect. Desperate, Roman makes a reckless wager with his best friend: If he can make a complete stranger fall in love with him in six months, his friend will arrange a perfect, no-strings marriage. If he fails, he'll retire from the company forever.

The next morning, Roman wakes up to find himself married to the last woman he ever expected: Lily. An eccentric artist with no wealth or social connections, Lily is escaping a dark past and a dangerous relationship. To claim her inheritance, she needs a husband, and Roman's convenient offer seems like the perfect solution.

Neither of them expects anything beyond a temporary arrangement-no feelings, no complications, just six months before they go their separate ways. But life has other plans.

As they navigate this unorthodox marriage, Roman is drawn to Lily's raw honesty, fierce independence, and vulnerability. He begins to question everything he thought he knew about love and trust. Lily, too, is captivated by Roman's unexpected depth. Behind his cold exterior, she sees a man who is willing to fight for her, protect her, and-maybe-let her heal his broken heart.

But as the six months tick by, their fake marriage becomes harder to ignore. Feelings become tangled, and the line between obligation and love blurs. When secrets from their pasts threaten to tear them apart, they must decide if their connection is real enough to overcome the obstacles in their way. Roman's dark past looms over them, and his refusal to fully open up could cost them everything.

In a battle between career, love, and the scars they carry, will Roman and Lily finally open their hearts? Or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart for good?
