About this audiobook
Four hundred eighty-seven thousand dollars.
That was the price of her little brother's life, and Nina Kowalski didn't have a cent of it.
Leo is seventeen and eighty-three pounds and fighting for every breath behind ICU glass.
The insurance appeal was denied.
Her father stopped answering the phone six months ago.
There is no one left to call.
Across town, in a penthouse that costs more than her whole building, Grant Sterling sets fire to his grandfather's will.
The clause is cruel and simple.
Marry someone he chooses, or lose the three-billion-dollar company he built with his own hands.
Six months on the clock.
So the ice prince makes an offer no decent man should make, and the desperate sister takes a deal no sane woman should sign.
A wedding ring for a hospital bill.
A fake engagement for a fighting chance.
A stranger's name for her brother's heartbeat.
The rules are clear. It's temporary. It's a transaction. Nobody falls in love.
Then Grant learns she lied about who she is, and Nina learns the hidden heir she married has secrets that could burn them both, and the gilded cage starts to feel, impossibly, like the first real thing either of them has ever had.
Until the trap springs, the truth unravels in front of the board, and Grant looks at the woman he bought like he's seeing a stranger.
"Tell me it was real. Just once, tell me it wasn't all an act."
She has the answer. She's just not sure he's earned it.
Bought by the CEO is a yearning, steamy contemporary billionaire romance about a marriage of convenience, a hidden heir, forced proximity, a fake engagement, a secret past, and a cold-hearted man who never expected to mean a single vow.
Perfect for readers who love billionaire romance, marriage-of-convenience, fake engagement, grumpy-meets-desperate, forced proximity, and a frozen heart that finally thaws. A standalone romance with a hard-won happy ending.
