The Billionaire I Was Never Supposed to Marry: One Mistake Changed Everything

By Lira A. Vale

She was hired to save his hotel. She never meant to marry him.

Crisis strategist Elena Marlowe has one rule: never let herself become the story. So when she's hired to rescue the disastrous launch of Aurelia House - the crumbling, cliffside jewel of a Mediterranean island she's never heard of - the last person she expects to answer the door is Sebastian Vale. The billionaire hotel heir she's spent three years blaming for the scandal that nearly destroyed her career.

He didn't expect her either. And he definitely didn't expect to marry her.

One leaked recording. One reckless, lantern-lit night. One impossible decision neither of them can explain in the morning - and now Elena isn't just Sebastian's wife. She's the deciding vote in a family fortune she wants no part of, standing between his ruthless aunt and the sale of everything Sebastian has left to protect.

Six weeks. That's all they have before the vote that decides it all.

Six weeks of forced proximity in a marriage that was never supposed to be real.

Six weeks to discover that the man she despised might be the one person who finally sees her - and that the secret he's still keeping could destroy everything they've built.

The wedding was the mistake.

Staying married becomes the choice.

Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance, accidental marriage tropes, forced proximity, sun-drenched Mediterranean settings, and a hero whose deepest flaw isn't arrogance - it's loving too quietly to survive the truth.
