This is the story of their union.

I'm the scandal he can't afford. And the temptation he can't resist.
Darren Walker was never supposed to follow in his father’s footsteps. The rebellious son of a powerful senator, he built his reputation on expensive whiskey, beautiful women, and a firm refusal to live under anyone’s shadow.
Mine is a carefully constructed lie.
When he offers me marriage, it’s not for love. It’s for survival—for both of us.

I’m falling for him.
And I know I shouldn’t.
Because loving Darren means risking everything—including the one secret that could destroy his future and break the only man who’s ever truly seen me.
Will my past ruin us both, right when we finally have everything to lose?

I never believed in fairy tales because happily ever afters aren’t for girls like me.
I know my role—play pretend, smile pretty, and leave before dawn. No attachments. No illusions.
Then billionaire playboy Darren Walker makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
One year. A fake marriage. Five million dollars.
I should say no. He’s arrogant, entitled, and too damn handsome for his own good. But I need the money, and he needs a wife to unlock his inheritance. Simple.
Except nothing about Darren is simple.
His touch ignites something I swore I’d never feel. His kisses make me forget this is just business - especially when I catch glimpses of something deeper beneath his privileged exterior. And when he looks at me like he sees the real me—the one even I’m not sure exists—I start to believe it too.
But I know better than to fall for a client.
Because if he discovers the real reason I said yes, I won’t just lose the deal—I’ll lose him.
King of Nothing is the first book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience.

Marrying billionaire Darren Walker was supposed to be just business.
​
A simple deal. No feelings involved.
If only it were that easy.
​
I thought he was nothing more than a spoiled, reckless playboy—a man born into privilege with no real ambition. But the more time I spend with him, the more I see the truth. Darren is brilliant. Compassionate. A man who fights for what he believes in and refuses to be defined by his family’s legacy.
He makes me want things I can’t have. A future I can’t claim. Because a woman like me—with a past I can never outrun—doesn’t belong in his world.
And when he tells me he loves me, I wish things could be different.
But love won’t be enough to save us.
Because if I stay, I won’t be his salvation.
​
I’ll be his Queen of Ruin. And the only way to save him… is to walk away.
Queen of Ruin is the second book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience. This book does end in a cliffhanger.

I never expected to fall for my fake wife. But the day I told her I loved her… she took the money and left.
​
All Evangeline left behind were divorce papers. She thinks I’ll sign them. That I’ll move on.
She’s dead wrong.
She believes her past makes her a liability, that the press will eat her alive. But the real danger isn’t her history—it’s mine. And when the truth comes out, it won’t just derail my career.
It could destroy us both.
I won’t let that happen. She’s still my wife. And I protect what’s mine.
​
Even if it costs me everything.
​
State of Union is the final book in the trilogy with a guaranteed HEA. The books must be read in order, for the best reader experience.
