A billionaire with a bruised heart. A gallery owner with everything to lose. One outrageous marriage contract that could change everything.
Diana Kensington vowed never to give her heart to a man again—especially not to Maxwell Huntington III, the infamous Beast of Silicon Valley. But when her struggling art gallery faces closure and Max needs a fake wife to salvage his crumbling public image, an unlikely deal is struck: one marriage of convenience, zero expectations, and absolutely no kissing.
At least, that was the plan.
Thrown together in Max’s high-tech mansion, Diana and Max clash, banter, and navigate charity galas, board meetings, and awkward slow dances. But as their connection deepens, so do the risks of opening their hearts again.
She’s independent, elegant, and emotionally intelligent. He’s brilliant, brooding, and terrible with feelings. Together, they might be exactly what the other never knew they needed.
A sparkling, modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast—set in the world of tech billionaires, art galleries, and second chances. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, found family, and love stories that begin when you least expect them.

CONTENT WARNING (Note from the author):
This book contains:
- The F-word and other profanity
Characters who are blunt, messy, and emotionally complicated
Sexual tension and heated kisses (no explicit sex)
One morally gray, emotionally repressed billionaire who sometimes yells
And a strong, compassionate heroine who doesn’t put up with bullshit
Mentions of cancer and death due to illness (not graphic, but emotionally present)
This is not a sweet or squeaky-clean romance, and it’s not written for readers who prefer gentle language or conflict-free stories.
