Bought by the White Billionaire

Zora Bellamy came home to bury her grandmother.

Instead, she learned her family's historic Louisiana estate was drowning in debt-and the man who bought it was waiting at the funeral.

Ronan Ashford is a reclusive British billionaire descended from the family that once profited from Bellamy land. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to intimidate, he offers Zora one way to save the house:

Marry him for one year.

In exchange, Ronan will erase the debt, restore the estate, and help uncover the truth behind a murder both families have concealed for nearly a century.

But Ronan did not choose Zora simply because she knows the house.

He has carried her photograph for seven years.

As hidden passages open, bodies are discovered inside the walls, and dead relatives refuse to stay buried, Zora realizes Bellamy House is not merely an inheritance.

It is evidence.

And everyone connected to it is lying.

Including the man she is beginning to want.

Ronan claims he bought the property for the truth. But his obsession with Zora began long before the marriage contract-and he has no intention of pretending she is merely part of the deal.

A dark, atmospheric BWWM romance featuring a marriage of convenience, a possessive billionaire, ancestral secrets, enemies-to-lovers tension, family betrayal, and a haunted Southern estate.
