About this audiobook
Sixty days to lose everything my family ever built.
And the man who could save it just stepped out of a black sedan into my rain.
My name is Sophia Bennett, and Larkspur Hill has been in my family since 1972.
My grandfather planted these vines with his own hands.
My father put us on the map, then died and left it all to me.
I've refinanced twice, sold my mother's jewelry, and slept in the office because the house is too full of ghosts.
The bank gave me a notice of default. Sixty days.
My brother Leo found it in the mud and looked at me like I'd betrayed him.
Then Jackson Hale arrived — the developer whose company wants to swallow my valley whole.
Tall. Tailored. Worth more than every acre I'm about to lose.
Exactly the kind of man my father warned me about.
I expected him to make an offer on my land.
I did not expect him to offer me a ring.
A fake engagement. An arrangement. His money to save Larkspur Hill, in exchange for a fiancee who plays the part in front of his board and his world.
I said yes because pride doesn't pay a mortgage, and an old flame doesn't keep the lights on.
But Jackson isn't the cold suit I built him up to be — and the deeper into the lie we go, the harder it is to remember which parts were ever pretend.
Then, on a night that should have stayed business, he tells me:
"This stopped being a deal for me a long time ago, Sophia."
Now there's an office affair neither of us planned, a betrayal of circumstance closing in, and a vineyard — and a heart — that could still be lost in a single bad harvest.
Claimed by the Tycoon is a steamy, emotional fake-engagement billionaire romance about a marriage of convenience, an old flame, an office affair, slow-burn yearning, betrayal, and the heart that wouldn't forget.
Perfect for readers who love fake-engagement romance, billionaire-meets-small-town heroine, second-chance slow burn, forced proximity, and emotional happily-ever-afters. A standalone romance with a hard-earned happy ending.
