The Fake Bride Contract Fated to the Dragon Billionaires Book 9

She was supposed to be his assistant.

Instead, she became the greatest threat to his heart.

Emma Lawson finally has a job worth fighting for.

As executive assistant to billionaire Theodore Drakonis, she's spent months keeping his empire running smoothly while helping support her struggling family. It's the opportunity of a lifetime—and the only thing standing between her father and the medical treatments he desperately needs.

Then she discovers the truth.

The staffing agency that placed her inside Drakonis Tech wasn't helping her.

They were using her.

Without realizing it, Emma has spent months feeding confidential information to the enemies of the very man who trusted her most.

Theodore Drakonis built his life on logic.

As the brilliant dragon heir behind the Drakonis empire, he trusts numbers, strategy, and facts.

Not fate.

Not destiny.

And certainly not love.

Then he discovers that the woman secretly reporting on his company is also his fated mate.

Now Theodore faces an impossible choice.

Expose Emma and destroy the woman who never knew she was being used.

Or protect her—and risk everything.

His solution?

A fake relationship.

A public romance convincing enough to fool their enemies.

A carefully crafted contract that places Emma at his side while Theodore works to uncover the conspiracy threatening them both.

But pretending becomes harder with every passing day.

Every stolen glance.

Every shared secret.

Every moment spent playing a role that feels dangerously real.

Because the closer Emma gets to Theodore, the harder it becomes to remember where the performance ends.

And the more Theodore learns about the woman behind the careful smile, the more impossible it becomes to let her go.

With a powerful enemy closing in and old secrets threatening to destroy everything they've built, Emma and Theodore must decide whether trust can survive betrayal.

And whether a contract designed to keep them safe can become the foundation for something neither of them ever expected.

Forever.
