One signature could save everything they care about... or cost them the one thing they can't afford to lose: their hearts.
Andy never planned to come back to New Zealand. After years of reckless choices, a battle with addiction, and losing everything-including himself-he's returned to Auckland with nothing but sobriety and regret. His father's legacy looms over him, weighted with impossible expectations and hidden clauses that could tear his family apart. Sobriety is new. Pressure is not. And now, with the company's future-and his sister's stability-on the line, Andy has one choice: step up as CEO... and agree to a marriage of convenience that could save them all.
Marie knows what it means to survive. She's endured one marriage that left her scarred, struggling, and determined never to risk her heart again. Now, with two young daughters depending on her and debt pressing in from every side, the last thing she needs is a business proposal disguised as a wedding ring. But when the man offering it is Andy-the boy who once made her laugh, the boy she once secretly loved-the walls around her heart begin to tremble.
Neither of them is ready for this. He's wounded, fighting demons that whisper he'll never be enough. She's wary, guarding her heart as fiercely as she protects her girls. On paper, the deal makes sense. In reality, every moment together ignites the ache of what could be-and the risk of what they both fear most: falling apart all over again.
As they navigate boardrooms, family expectations, and the tender chaos of blending lives, Andy and Marie must face the truth-love doesn't always wait for perfect timing. It doesn't ask if you're ready. Sometimes it shows up right in the middle of the mess, demanding a choice: stay safe behind the walls you've built... or take the leap and risk everything for a future you never imagined.
The Reluctant Billionaire is an emotional, slow-burn, marriage-of-convenience Christian romance about healing, redemption, and second chances. Perfect for readers who crave heart-tugging tension, faith-filled journeys, and love stories that remind us God can rebuild even the most broken of lives.
