A struggling actress. A ruthless billionaire. A contract that was never supposed to feel real.
Elena Carter is one audition away from giving up on her dreams-drowning in bills, eating cold ramen on her apartment floor, and questioning every choice that led her here. When Adrian Blackwood, the icy billionaire heir, offers her a deal she can't refuse-a fake relationship to fix his reputation-she knows it's dangerous. But so is starving.
The rules are simple: No emotions. No scandals. And absolutely no falling in love.
But between red carpet appearances, whispered threats from his ex-fiancée, and lingering gazes that last too long, the lines blur. Elena never expected to enjoy sparring with Adrian. She never expected the possessiveness in his eyes when another man gets too close. And she definitely never expected to want something real in a relationship built on lies.
As the contract nears its expiration, one question remains-when the cameras stop flashing, will they still be pretending?

Billionaire's Second Chance At Love
*𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐏𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃* After a short-lived marriage with the cold and arrogant billionaire Ronin Logan, Carmen Price is eager for a break. Her attempt to unwind leads her to another wealthy billionaire, Simon Walsh. Little does she know, she's about to encounter a whole new set of problems.

Caught in a web of love, deceit, and betrayal that seems to lurk around every corner when they're together, will Carmen and Ronin find a moment to catch their breath and truly understand each other? Can they ever find it in themselves to grant the second chance that both of them might just deserve? [EXCERPT] "This is not the right time," she whispered, almost pleading to him, her voice trembling despite her attempts to stay firm. Her hands were pressed against his chest, feeling the solid muscles beneath his shirt. It was a losing battle to resist him. Ronin's lips gently brushed against her earlobe once more, his warm breath making her shudder, his fingers dancing around her waist. "Carmen," he murmured, his deep voice a low, seductive whisper, "there's never a right time when it comes to us." - STANDALONE - SERIALIZED FICTION - MULTIPLE SEASONS - UPDATE SCHEDULE: MON & FRIComplete
