His Ruthless Rule: A Dark Billionaire Marriage Romance

Lucian Ward rules his empire the same way he rules every room he enters-with absolute control. Billionaire kingmaker by day, shadow broker by night, he has spent years turning ruthless decisions into power. But when a scandal threatens his family's fortune and the criminal network hidden beneath it, Lucian needs the one thing he has never wanted: a wife. Tessa Marlowe is brilliant, ambitious, and one step away from losing everything she has worked for. When Lucian offers her a deal-his name, his protection, and more money than she has ever dreamed of in exchange for a temporary marriage-she knows she should refuse. Instead, she signs the contract and steps into a world where every smile is a weapon and every promise comes with a price. What begins as a cold arrangement soon becomes something far more dangerous. Beneath Lucian's brutal discipline is a possessive hunger neither of them can control, and the lines between obligation and desire begin to blur. But in Lucian's world, power is never free, and when Tessa becomes the target of enemies determined to break his rule, he will show them exactly how ruthless he can be when what belongs to him is threatened.
