Untouchable Billionaire

"In a room full of people begging for his wealth, she was the only one fighting for her life against tequila."

Thirty-five-year-old Aiven Vance has everything-ruthless power, striking high-fashion looks, and a multi-billion-dollar New York empire. But behind his cold, flawless exterior lies a dark medical secret: a severe, psychological allergy to the touch of any woman. One accidental brush against his skin is enough to trigger a life-threatening panic attack and cause his skin to break out into hives.

When his aristocratic mother threatens to strip away his corporate voting rights unless he marries and produces a grandson by next month, Aiven finally snaps. Drunk and frustrated at an elite Manhattan nightclub, he walks out onto the VIP balcony with a duffel bag full of cash. Flinging millions into the air, his voice thunders over the bass: "Who wants to be my wife?!"

Below him, the club turns into a chaotic warzone as greedy crowds claw at the floating bills like hungry animals. But Aiven's icy dark eyes lock onto a lone figure in the far corner.

Elena Rios is clad in a sleek black dress, completely ignoring the falling fortune.

She isn't acting out of high moral dignity-she is violently, aggressively hungover and using every ounce of her willpower not to throw up right onto the marble bar. Amused and instantly entranced by her absolute indifference to his billions, Aiven marches down the VIP stairs, pushes through the crowd, and commands: "You'll be my wife."
