Billion Dollar Deception
by Octavio Fuentes
Camila Frost was raised on a coffin's worth of contempt — adopted into a family that treated her as the spare, taught to expect nothing, and trained instead to design jewelry beautiful enough to outlast her surname. She has the woman who actually mothered her, Irene, dying of stage-four kidney failure when her stepmother offers a deal she cannot refuse: marry the Blackwell heir in her sister's place and the bills get paid. The Blackwell heir is supposed to be a wastrel. He turns out, at the altar, to be a man who reads her like a chip diamond — every flaw, every facet, every story she has told herself about being unwanted. What Camila does not know, and what the man she has just married will not say, is that he is testing her with his shabby house and his motorcycle and his hand-me-down kitchen the way her family tested her with closed doors. A slow-burn billionaire romance about masks, money, and the woman who refuses to be bought into a marriage even by the man whose ring she has agreed to wear.
