I Faked an Affair to Escape My Billionaire Husband : An Arranged Marriage Romance

Three years into a marriage her husband has never consummated, Nora Vale is done being the replacement bride.

Her sister fled the alliance meant to save the Bennett family empire, leaving twenty-year-old Nora to marry Adrian Vale—the ruthless billionaire who refuses to touch her, explain himself, or grant her a divorce. If pride is the only thing he feels, Nora knows exactly how to wound it: invent a lover, stage the evidence, and let an anonymous man ask Adrian to hand over his wife.

She expects disgust and a signature. Instead, Adrian abandons a London deal and crosses the Atlantic overnight. Soon he is tracing the secret number, tightening security around their Greenwich estate, and quietly sabotaging every plan Nora claims is for her new man. The more she provokes him, the harder his polished control cracks—and the less his jealousy looks like indifference.

But lies are dangerous when the husband hunting the truth built his fortune by finding weaknesses. As Nora's escape closes in, she must decide how far she will push the only man powerful enough to expose her—and what it will cost if the marriage she is trying to destroy has never been what she believed.

Reader Promise: A high-tension, possessive billionaire marriage romance with no actual cheating, fade-to-black heat, and a complete standalone HFN.

Content Note: This novel includes a pressured arranged marriage, coercive romantic dynamics, possessive control, surveillance and security restrictions, blocked exits, physical intimidation, boundary-crossing kisses, and threats tied to separation.
