The Billionaire I Hired by Mistake

Marlowe Kimball wakes drugged in a London hotel to the sound of her boyfriend and her stepmother plotting to ruin her, force her into marriage, and steal the fortune her late mother left her. Barely conscious, she cuts her own arm to stay awake and escapes into the dark room next door, into the arms of a stranger she never sees clearly. To fight off her spineless father and the engagement being forced on her, Marlowe hires a "contract boyfriend" from an online ad, never guessing the quiet man who answers is Rafferty Brennig, the most powerful chairman in the city, and the very stranger from that night who has been hunting the woman with the wound on her arm. Under his silent, ruthless protection, Marlowe tears down her scheming stepsister, breaks the blackmail ring of the entertainment bosses who underestimate her, and builds her own media empire from nothing. But the higher she climbs, the deadlier her enemies become, and Rafferty must one day choose between keeping his secret and keeping her alive. A slow-burn revenge romance of betrayal, hidden identity, and a woman who turns her heartbreak into an empire.
