About this audiobook
The note was for two hundred thousand dollars.
Her father signed it before the Alzheimer's had a name.
Claire Wilder spent her life restoring other people's masterpieces while her own father's gallery quietly fell apart around her.
She knew oil and ochre.
She knew the fly a Dutch master painted on a tablecloth three centuries ago.
She did not know how to fight a billionaire.
Logan Ashford bought the debt. Logan Ashford verified the dates with a sick man's doctor. Logan Ashford walked into her gallery and surveyed it like livestock.
And then he set a proposal on her worktable instead of a foreclosure notice.
Move into his world.
Wear his name.
Play the part — and the gallery lives.
So Claire stepped into the gilded cage. Glass tower. Borrowed dresses. A husband who paid for everything and let her touch nothing.
She told herself it was a transaction.
She told herself the slow burn behind his eyes meant nothing.
She told herself she didn't notice the scar above his eyebrow, the way he came home to her portraits, the way "Mr. Ashford" started to sound like a man instead of a sentence.
Then she found the folder.
A rival. A text. A truth about how her father's note really landed on Logan's desk — and what it would cost both of them if it ever came out.
She waited for him to deny it.
Instead he closed the folder, looked at her, and said, "I bought the debt to protect you. I just never planned on needing you to believe that."
That was the moment the cage stopped feeling like a cage.
Not because the contract changed.
But because she finally wanted to stay after the terms ran out.
Now the development deal is closing, the rival is circling, and the one canvas Claire can't finish is the two of them. If Logan Ashford wants more than a signature, he'll have to risk the empire he built — and let her see the man behind the money.
Bought by the Mogul is a steamy, emotional billionaire-boss romance about forced proximity, a marriage of convenience, a friends-to-lovers slow burn, a gilded cage, family secrets, and the enemy who claimed her heart.
Perfect for readers who love billionaire romance, marriage-of-convenience drama, forced proximity, slow-burn yearning, grumpy hero and only-one-bed tension, and an earned happy ending. A standalone romance with a happy-ever-after.
