21-year-old Debra Thornton is about to have her life turned upside down. Her father, the formidable Mr. Thornton, owner of the prestigious Salesdome Enterprise, has just announced that he's arranged for her to marry Griffin, the 25-year-old CEO of the GS Enterprise.
Debra is horrified. She's always dreamed of marrying for love, not convenience. But her father's obsession with wealth and power has left her with no choice.
Griffin, on the other hand, is equally appalled by the arrangement. He's already in a relationship with a woman he loves, and the thought of marrying a stranger is abhorrent to him. But his father's ultimatum is clear: marry Debra, or forfeit his position as CEO.
As Debra and Griffin navigate their way through this treacherous landscape, they must confront their own demons and make impossible choices. Will they find a way to escape the prison of their arranged marriage, or will they succumb to the pressures of their families' expectations?
In this gripping tale of love, power, and deception, Debra and Griffin must fight for their freedom and their hearts. But as they do, they'll discover that the true cost of their families' ambition may be higher than they ever imagined.

DECEPTION
Deception Ellie Brown has it all-beauty, power, and a legacy built on diamonds. As the CEO of Diamond Glow, she is the epitome of strength and success, but beneath her flawless exterior lies a heart weighed down by secrets, betrayals, and a family that sees her as both an asset and a rival. Her own brother harbors a grudge so deep that he vows to take everything from her. Her mother, ever calculating, demands a marriage that Ellie refuses to entertain. And then there's the past-buried truths that threaten to unravel everything she's built. Ryan Adams is a man living in the shadows of grief. Six years ago, he lost his sister and the woman he loved in a single, tragic moment. His father never forgave him. He never forgave himself. Now, drawn into a business deal with Ellie, he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who challenges him, intrigues him-and reminds him of everything he swore he'd never want again. Neither of them believes in love. Neither of them trusts easily. But when fate forces them into each other's orbit, tangled in a web of corporate battles, hidden enemies, and forbidden emotions, the line between business and desire begins to blur. But deception lurks in the shadows. The past is never truly buried, and the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can two scarred souls defy the odds-or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?Completa

I scoffed, though my voice was weaker than I intended. "You don't own me, Elias." He moved closer, his presence overwhelming. "No, but I'm the one putting a ring on your finger. And I'm not going to stand by while some guy tries to-" "To what?" I cut him off, my voice rising. "Make me feel like I'm more than just some pawn in a business deal?"
