The Billionaire’s Fake Marriage
A Forced Proximity Romance
Avery E. Hartwell
Description
He needed a wife to save his empire.I needed a deal that would secure my future.Neither of us expected the lie to feel more real than the truth. Cyrus Venn offered marriage like a contract — precise, strategic, temporary. I agreed because it made sense: two years, clear rules, no emotions. But living beside a man who understands systems better than people blurs every boundary we promised to protect. The performance changes us. The distance shrinks. Late nights become conversations, silence becomes comfort, and the man who claimed he didn’t believe in love begins to reveal the fractures behind his control. Somewhere between obligation and proximity, the lie starts to evolve into something dangerously authentic. Then regret arrives. Secrets uncovered. Motives questioned. The realization that what brought us together might also be what destroys us. Trust becomes the one thing neither of us knows how to negotiate — and the one thing we can’t survive without. Now I must decide if love built on a transaction can ever be real. Walking away means protecting myself. Staying means risking everything on a man who doesn’t know how to love without strategy. A high-tension fake marriage romance filled with emotional conflict, power dynamics, forced proximity, betrayal, and redemption. If you love strategic heroes, intelligent heroines, slow-burn intimacy, and love that transforms calculation into connection, this story will keep you turning pages until the final promise.
