Married to the Billionaire's LieNew

Married to the Billionaire's Lie

by Seraphina Cross

Maya Altun runs a little clinic on the wrong side of the skyline, patching up bodies that the city’s glitter ignores. Haunted by fractured memories of the night her mother died and crushed by debt, she accepts a proposal that looks like salvation: a twelve-month contract marriage to Asher Valen, the unapproachable billionaire who promises enough money to keep the clinic open. No promises, no love—just protection and a clean end date. But the man across the table is colder than she expected, and the signature on the dotted line is only the beginning. Once they’re married, small lies widen into dangerous crevices. Hidden clauses put the clinic’s future at risk, private recordings surface that tie Maya’s mother to illegal trials run in Valen Labs, and a ruthless boardman will stop at nothing to take control of the company—including using Maya as a pawn. As Maya fights to reclaim the pieces of a life she can barely remember, she and Asher edge past pretense into something raw. Every revelation unspools a new betrayal: someone wants her silence, someone else wants her dead, and one man—whose hands are as capable of building an empire as they are of breaking a heart—may be the only person standing between her and the truth. The contract was supposed to end in twelve months. No one counted on secrets long buried resurfacing to demand more than either of them bargained for.

Signed to Hate You: The CEO's Contracted Enemy

by Marcus Sterling

Mira Kade is two things: a caretaker to her sick little brother and a ghost in the city’s underworld of stolen code. When her one desperate job—to swipe a prototype trading algorithm called 'Iris'—goes wrong, the man whose life the algorithm protects walks into her cheap café and offers a contract neither can refuse: give it back, sign a legally binding partnership to keep her visible and contained, or watch everything she loves be taken.

They begin as enemies bound by blackmail and mutual distrust, circling each other with barbed words and forced proximity. But the Iris file is more than money; it’s a key to a conspiracy that will topple governments, expose betrayals that span a decade, and name the real monsters hiding in suits. When a shadow syndicate kidnaps the one person Mira can’t lose, Asher must choose between burying his company to save her or keeping his throne and losing her forever. The contract they signed to hate each other becomes a dangerous treaty of survival—and when two people who vowed never to trust anyone are the only ones who can save the truth, love sneaks in through the gaps they left exposed.

Posing as a wealthy investor who bought his company’s crown jewel, she signs a marriage pact with Gabriel Ashford—the charismatic CEO who led her exile—vowing to take back everything he took.

When an escalated attack threatens the lives of thousands tied to Ashford Industries, Elara must decide whether to detonate her revenge and watch everything burn or to join forces with the man who ruined her to expose a deeper villain—risking her hard-won control and the fragile possibility of forgiveness that could turn into love all over again.

Mira Kest survives by fixing dying ships in the orbital graveyards of the Asterian Imperium, hiding a tremor in her hands and a secret she was taught to bury: buried in her genome is a Starborn Core, a living encryption made from the first Emperor's mind. When a covert rebel strike kills the Emperor and scatters his command codes, Mira is dragged into a chase—imperial Consul Aurex Varyn wants the Core to rebuild the Lattice, the galaxy-spanning neural control that keeps billions obedient. If he succeeds, the rebellion dies before it begins. Hunted across ring-ports and dead moons, Mira allies with a ragged insurgent cell and an exiled warship AI who calls itself Choir. As she learns to interface with the Core, the tremor that has made her vulnerable becomes the key to speaking with ancient machines—and also a ticking kill-switch the Empire programmed into every royal host.

Forced to decide whether to ignite the Lattice and shatter the Empire's grip (destroying FTL and stranding billions) or to hand herself over to save a life the Empire still demands, Mira must rewrite what it means to be human, ruler, and rebel before the stars forget her name.
