BILLINARIE NIGHT Novel

At twenty-four, Elena Hart has learned that poverty can take almost everything from you, but grief is the one thing money cannot buy back. Working two jobs to pay her late father's debts, she has no time for billionaires, especially the arrogant men who believe every human problem has a price. Then she receives an invitation to the most exclusive event in New York: the Black Diamond Ball, hosted by Adrian Blackwood, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire whose empire stretches from luxury hotels to private banking. One night of serving champagne to the world's wealthiest guests should have been easy. Until Adrian looks at Elena as though he has seen a ghost. He offers her an outrageous sum to become his personal assistant for thirty days. She accepts because she desperately needs the money, but the job comes with strange rules: never enter the west wing after midnight, never open the locked silver box in his office, and never ask why his bedroom remains untouched. Elena soon discovers that Adrian's fortune was built over a tragedy connected to her father's death. Their growing attraction becomes dangerous as buried secrets emerge, a mysterious woman begins sending Elena warnings, and someone inside Blackwood Manor wants her gone. Adrian may be the only man who can uncover the truth. He may also be the man who destroyed her family. And on the night their hearts finally surrender, one of them will learn that love can be the most expensive lie of all.
