She Was Never His

By Arcy Hicks

She signed his contract.
He signed his downfall.

Adrian Cross built his empire on control.

Power. Precision. Predictability.

Nothing-and no one-slips through his fingers.

Until Isabella Devereaux walks into his office.

She's quiet. Composed. Perfect for the role.

A fake girlfriend to clean up his image.
A contract. A performance. Nothing more.

That's what he believes.

But Isabella isn't what she seems.

She doesn't need his money.
She doesn't need his protection.

And she definitely doesn't need him.

Because behind the scenes...

She owns more than he does.

Including pieces of the very empire he's trying to protect.

What starts as a simple arrangement turns into something far more dangerous:

A power game neither of them expected
A connection neither of them can control
And a truth that could destroy them both

He thought he hired her.

She was already ten moves ahead.

And when the truth finally surfaces...

The question isn't who wins.

It's who survives the fallout.

Perfect for readers who love:

Fake dating / fake relationship tropesBillionaire romance with strong female leadsPower reversal & hidden identityEnemies-to-lovers tensionHigh-stakes corporate drama

She was never his.
But he might already be hers.
