Athena Sacca had always had a singular dream in mind when she graduated: becoming an artist. She didn't plan on marrying her best friend from high school or becoming a model all at 20 years old. She was happy for a time, but five years is a lot of time to be in a loveless marriage. Athena wants out. There's only one problem... her husband refuses to let her go.
Theodore Rossi hadn't planned on getting married. He'd wanted to live out his twenties and flirt with women until he was finally ready to settle down. Sure, he hadn't wanted to marry Athena, but it didn't change the fact that they were married. When Athena tells him that she wants out of their marriage, Theodore decides to find a way to keep her.

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

"Why?" I ask him, partly frustrated and partly angry that he pulled away from me. "Why what?" He responds, his eyes still gleam in this lighting. "Why don't you want to kiss me?" I ask, crossing my arms. "Trust me, I want to kiss you." He says plainly. "Then why aren't you?" I almost whisper. "Because, when we kiss, you will know it's real, you'll know it's not part of our fake marriage, it's going to be real, really fucking real. I'm going to make sure you know, I'm going to make sure that you know that your mine and I'm yours." - Marriage wasn't on Athena Rey's mind until she was forced into a marriage with the rude ass known to be, Reid Laurent.
