The 24-Hour Wife: Married To The Villain
Synopsis
One betrayal. One drunken night. One monster hired to burn it all down.
Ivy Sterling was the perfect daughter, until the night she found her fiancé and her stepsister destroying her life on her own father’s desk. Betrayed by the man she loved and disowned by the father who viewed her as nothing more than a business transaction, Ivy is given an impossible ultimatum. Find a husband in 24-hours or lose her inheritance forever.
Driven by gin and a thirst for vengeance, Ivy wanders into the city’s darkest lounge and makes a deal with the devil.
Roman Voss is known as The Vulture. A ruthless corporate raider who thrives on the ruins of failing empires, Roman doesn't do favors, he takes hostages. When a disheveled Ivy Sterling offers to pay for his time to be her temporary husband, Roman sees more than a desperate girl. He sees the key to a decade-long grudge and the final piece of his grandfather’s multi-billion dollar inheritance clause.
By sunrise, the ink on their marriage certificate is dry, and the trap is set.
But as Ivy steps into Roman’s world of lies and dark secrets, she realizes she hasn’t just saved her legacy but she’s traded a leash for a cage. Roman is possessive, lethal, and determined to dismantle the Sterling empire from the inside out.
As the contract blurs and a forbidden heat ignites between them, Ivy discovers a chilling truth, Roman didn't just happen to be at that bar. Their families are bound by a blood debt that started with her mother’s accident, and Roman Voss never intended to let his contract wife go free.
In a world where love is a liability and truth is a death sentence, Ivy must decide. Will she break her chains, or will she learn to rule the darkness at the Vulture's side?
