Bought by the Billionaire

Scarlett Hayes poured her heart into building Eco Threads, the sustainable fashion company that was supposed to change the industry. But good intentions don't pay the bills, and bankruptcy is breathing down her neck. When billionaire CEO Damien Rhodes appears with an acquisition offer, she knows it's her only choice—even if it means losing everything she's worked for.
Damien Rhodes built his empire on logic, control, and carefully calculated risks. Emotions are liabilities, relationships are complications, and mixing business with pleasure is corporate suicide. But there's something about Scarlett—her fierce passion, her refusal to be intimidated, her vision for building something meaningful—that makes him question everything he thought he knew about success.
What starts as a strategic business acquisition becomes something neither of them expected. Scarlett challenges Damien to see beyond profit margins, while he gives her the resources to transform her dreams into reality. Their professional partnership ignites into a connection that's impossible to ignore, but the corporate world isn't ready for a CEO who lets his heart influence his decisions.
When board members and media speculation threaten to destroy both their careers, Damien faces an impossible choice: the empire he spent years building or the woman who showed him what he'd been missing. Scarlett must decide if she can trust her heart to a man whose world operates on power and deals.
In a battle between love and corporate politics, can two strong-willed partners prove that the best acquisitions are matters of the heart? Or will the price of mixing passion with profit cost them everything they've built—together and apart?
