About The Billionaire’s High-Stakes Bet: A Steamy Fake Engagement Romance

He needed a fiancée to save his empire. She needed a miracle to save her legacy. But in the high-stakes world of New York real estate, the most dangerous investment is the heart.

Paige Sterling is a fighter. She’s built her landscape architecture firm from the dirt up, but when the ruthless Rhys Hawthorne—billionaire developer and the most arrogant man in Manhattan—crushes her biggest contract, she’s ready for war. Until Rhys makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Rhys Hawthorne doesn't do "feelings." He does mergers and acquisitions. To secure the deal of a lifetime, he needs to shed his cold-hearted reputation and present a softer side.

He needs a fiancée, and the fiery, independent Paige is the perfect candidate to convince the world he’s changed. The contract is simple: Six months. No real feelings.

No crossing the line. But between the shared penthouse, the high-society galas, and the way Rhys looks at her when the cameras aren't watching, the lines aren't just crossing—they’re burning. As secrets from the past threaten to tear them apart, Paige must decide if she’s playing a part in his latest scheme, or if she’s finally found the one thing money can’t buy.
