What it feels like
This classic category romance delivers a brisk, highly escapist fantasy fueled by fiery banter and undeniable chemistry. The narrative sweeps the reader from a secluded, snowy French chalet to the sun-drenched luxury of a Spanish estate, wrapping the central conflict in layers of extravagant wealth and high-society drama. The prose is emotionally heightened and fast-paced, leaning into the delicious tension of a heroine who refuses to be easily won and a brooding, arrogant hero who is entirely unaccustomed to being challenged. It is a deeply satisfying, trope-heavy indulgence that traces a journey from indignant betrayal to sweeping romantic surrender. Readers who devour glamorous, high-stakes billionaire romances with fake engagements and explosive attraction will find themselves completely captivated by this steamy battle of wills.

About the book
The Secret Billionaire
Billionaire Lucas Romero is many things—brooding, talented and a consummate womanizer. The one thing he's not? The "ski instructor" beautiful, innocent Milly Mayfield thought she was giving herself to in a sumptuous, secluded French ski chalet! And now she's livid!
Arrogant playboy Lucas is bewildered by Milly's decidedly unusual reaction to the revelation of his substantial wealth—he's never had complaints before! But even Milly cannot ignore the sexual chemistry between them. So when a family emergency means he needs a willing woman by his side, Milly suddenly finds herself whisked away to Spain...and engaged!
