Gilded Hearts
Sophia Rivera couldn't possibly be further away from his universe. Coming from a middle-class family and after the death of her father, Sophia built herself up brick by brick. She doesn't want or need saving and certainly didn't need any spoiled billionaire to validate her worth. Success for Sophia, is earned, not handed down.
Damian Hayes has it all; money, charm, and scandals. As the golden grandson of a formidable business mogul, Damian is renowned for hosting wild parties, charming beautiful women. To him, love is just a game; loyalty is a joke, and reputation is just one more weapon in his glittered world.
Their worlds collide when Damian's grandfather enacts an ultimatum to Damien, marry Sophia or lose the empire.
Where Damian sees Sophia as an ugly burden, ordinary, obstinate, and "Beneath His Standards," Sophia sees him as an entitle brat, arrogant, and reckless. Their marriage isn't constructed on love but is developed on defiance.

"What are you wearing?"
I looked down and realized it was his shirt. Heat flooded my face. "Sorry, I didn't know I grabbed yours by mistake. I'll go change."
Damien stopped me, stepping closer until I could feel the heat from his body. His voice was low and firm.
"I'll say this only once, and I hope you remember it. When we're alone—just the two of us—I want you wearing nothing. No clothes at all."
My eyes widened. "Are you out of your mind?"
He didn't flinch. "I'm not repeating myself. You won't be fully dressed when it's just us. It makes things easier whenever I want to f*ck you, touch you, or use you. The only thing you can wear is lingerie if you must, but nothing more. Now take that shirt off before I rip it off you."
