Vi Carter has written a 5-star book that brings a couple back together after years apart. Damien is in a meeting with his father and has just been told that in order to get his inheritance he has to marry within 3 days. Damien asks his Father how he is supposed to find someone to marry in that amount of time? His father asks him “What about Karen?” Damien and Karen had been a couple until a guy by the name of Paul said something that changed Damien’s feelings for her. Karen is so tired of working 3 jobs to pay off the debt of her brother. She did not realize that the rehab her brother was in cost so much. She is waiting on the kettle to boil when her phone rings, she answers it and a man asks “Karen Watson?” this is Damien Black. She said hello and “asks what she could do for him?” He said that he has a proposal for her, she recognizes the voice but she can’t place it. He tells her that he needs a wife and he is willing to pay a substantial price. She tells him she got the offer in her email but never one over the phone. She tells him she is not interested and for him not to call her number again. Damien calls back and after the 6th time, she answers and said”Listen Buddy, quit calling” you are not going to scam me today. Damien tells her again his name and that he was a friend of her brother Marcus. She tells him she is sorry and that she has some guy calling.. then she tells him never mind. Damien tells her that his proposal was real and asks “Was she interested?” All she can do is asks “Are you serious?” He tells her “Yes” he needs a wife within the next 3 days and he would pay, Karen asks “how much?” he asks her “how much she wants?” She tells him fifty thousand, this is not just some number she pulled out of her head though, it is the amount she needs to pay her brother’s rehab bills. Damien tells her “Done” and Karen tells him that she needs all the terms so that she can make a decision. Damien tells her that they need to discuss the terms in person. She doesn’t want him in her home so she tells him they will meet at his place and all she needs is his address. He tells her that he can send his driver for her but she turns this down. He gives her his address and tells her that when she gets there to tell the reception she was there to see him. When she got there she told reception who she was and who she was there to see. They called up to Damien and was told he would be right down. When Damien sees Karen, the attraction is still there. When Karen sees Damien, she knows she is in trouble. When he gets to her, he tells her she hasn’t aged a day. She just asks to get the meeting started. They go up to his penthouse and Damien asks if “she wanted a drink?” she just tells him water. He hands her the water and gives her the contract and then explains that they would be married in 2 days’ time and that she would have to live there for 3 weeks and after that, she was free to go if she wanted. After they are married, Karen finds out what happened between them that caused him to quit talking to her and she told him that it was a lie.
Can Karen and Damien get past the lie that drove them apart or will it keep them apart now for good?

Beautiful love story. This may be a short book but what started out as a business arrangement being married for 3 months turned out a lot more. He needed a wife & Karen needed money so when Damien who was her brother Marcus friend & her child hood sweetheart made her an offer she knew she couldn’t refuse. She was desperate for money working 3 jobs needed to pay for her brothers treatment at rehab but she soon started having feelings for him & he admitted that he had loved her back then but another boy told him he had slept with her which devestated Damien & he pulled away from her. Knowing how he felt & they both now married & in love no longer for money. This found myself reading this book with a smile on my face.

Damien needs to secure his inheritance by getting married. He knows who he can use to help him and he can help her. She responsible for her brother bills and helping her parents. But as Karen open up, she’s more fun and festive and Damien is falling. I love the chemistry and these two characters banter.

This is the first short story in the Dark Billionaire Series…
This is a steamy short romance to which the author added an epilogue to round it off. I really am enjoying this author’s work & if you’re a fan of romance with steamy love scenes, and a great story, this will tick all the boxes. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
“Karen’s family is in financial ruins. Damien needs to marry to get his inheritance.” Enjoyed this. Started off quite well. Lots of heat. Felt that the ending was cut off a little short.
