"You fit the bill just fine, Angel. I need a woman as strong as you." "I don't sell myself to anyone anymore, Mr. Stone. I don't pretend to love someone I don't and will never love." "Mr. Stone... I am not afraid of you. I will not yield to your demands no matter how you try to make my life miserable." Angel Mohr's college life has ended, and so is her short-lived romance with the university playboy. Now a little less starry-eyed and a lot more frustrated, she tries to make her way into the publishing world. She's the family breadwinner, after all. All goes relatively well until the company she's working for, McGarry Publishing, goes under... via suspicious circumstances. With Damien Etheridge out of the picture, Hunter Stone plays his cards and plays it superbly. The cold-hearted business magnate is hell bent on having Angel for a pretend wife and will stop at nothing to woo her-even if he has to resort to the most unconventional of ways. And god knows what the callous billionaire has up his sleeves. What was a one-time girlfriend for hire deal ends up to be a great deal of mess, and it's not looking so well for poor Angel. The contract has been drafted, and he wants her in. Jobless and desperate, Angel Mohr is put in the spotlight once more. Will she sign along the line? Will this little game of pretension turn into something more beautiful? And what about those random visions she has of Damien? Is she just imagining things?

⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away. What an insufferable jerk. ***** Allow me to introduce Ava Hilton, a seemingly ordinary 23-year-old who could easily be mistaken for a typical teenager any day, any time. A young woman from humble beginnings, leading an unassuming life. Now, meet Dreidan Vaughn, aged 30, the nation's wealthiest billionaire and the formidable head of the Italian Mafia. Feared and revered by all, he bore the moniker of the continent's ultimate enforcer. What unfolds when, in the midst of a frantic pursuit of a $20 million contract, he almost knocks down Ava, a woman he hastily judged as a child? Instead of receiving an anticipated apology, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at him and walked away. Oh he was going to make her pay one way or another! That moment marked the inception of a love story unlike any other. A COMPULSORY READ!... 19/11/19 ~ Ranked 24th in romance out of a staggering 1.52 MILLION books 💃 28/11/19 ~ Soared to 10th place in the mafia genre out of 34.5k books. Don't miss out, add this gem to your library, folks!
