Billionaires Don't Fall in Love
When Athena Solana and Tobias Landon were forced into an arranged marriage, chaos was inevitable. They barely knew each other, aside from the fact that they both came from old money and even older expectations. Tobias was defiant by nature. Marriage was never part of his plan. As the CEO of his father's empire, he had it all: wealth, women, and complete freedom. But the one condition tied to his luxurious lifestyle? Marry Athena. Athena was grace wrapped in gold. Kind-hearted and composed, she was everything Tobias wasn't. And yet, neither of them wanted this union. To them, love was a fantasy, and marriage was just another business transaction, especially in their world, where billionaires married for power, not passion. But as love, loyalty, and legacy collide, buried truths rise to the surface and threaten to change everything they thought they knew. Trigger Warning ⚠️ this book contains talks of sexual assault and violence. Please read at caution.Complete
