Hearts and Holdings Billionaire Romance

Grant Harrington has everything–money, power, and a reputation as one of the most formidable billionaires in the world. The only thing missing? A true connection with anyone. When his playboy image threatens his empire, Grant turns to an unexpected solution: a marriage of convenience with Julia Stanton, a struggling author whose wholesome reputation is the perfect counterbalance to his scandalous past.

Grant Harrington has everything—wealth, influence, and a reputation that’s spiraling out of control. With four failed marriages behind him and his position as CEO on the line, he needs more than damage control. He needs a wife. Enter Julia Stanton. Struggling author. Clean reputation. Exactly the kind of woman who can repair Grant’s public image—if she’s willing to make a deal. Marry him, and he’ll make her career.

Grant Harrington can negotiate anything. Except the woman he’s falling for. Julia Stanton knew marrying a billionaire CEO would come with complications. What she didn’t expect was how quickly their carefully arranged “fake” marriage would start to feel real. The deal was simple: help restore Grant’s reputation, stabilize his image, and walk away when the job was done. But nothing about their relationship feels simple anymore. As Julia grows closer to Grant—and to his fiercely protective daughter, Sierra—the lines between obligation and emotion begin to blur.

Grant Harrington never planned to fall for his wife. Now he may lose her anyway. What began as a calculated arrangement is no longer just business. As the end of their marriage contract approaches, Grant is forced to face a truth he’s spent months avoiding—he doesn’t want to let Julia go. And he’s not the only one. Julia has become part of his world, his home, and his family. But the closer they grow, the more complicated everything becomes. A sudden explosion leaves Grant fighting for his life.

Julia doesn't remember marrying Grant Harrington. But she remembers kissing his son. After a devastating accident wipes out her memory, Julia is left with only fragments of the life she built—and one moment she can't explain. A kiss that shouldn't have happened. A feeling she can't shake. And a husband she doesn't fully remember loving.

Grant Harrington has paid to walk away from four marriages. This time, walking away may cost him everything. Julia has stayed longer than anyone expected—including herself. What began as a calculated arrangement has become something far more complicated… and far more difficult to leave behind. But the cracks are growing. Grant’s world is still under threat, with powerful enemies waiting for the right moment to strike. And inside Harrington House, tensions continue to rise as family, loyalty, and control collide.

From the outside, Grant’s life is flawless—power, influence, and a wife who has become the center of everything he never expected to need. But the truth is far more dangerous. Julia’s contract is ending, and with it, any guarantee she’ll remain in his life. At the same time, the threats surrounding Grant are closing in, and this time they’re not aimed at his empire. They’re aimed at her.

Having managed to say, “I love you” before wife #5 walked out of his life, Grant and Julia’s “fake” may have just flipped to a “real” marriage. But Grant knows he’s got to prove to Julia that he’s in this for the long haul. That’s why the next six months need to be perfect. But when Lydia is mysteriously released from jail, Grant’s perfect life starts to crumble. First Julia is poisoned, then his son, Kyle, goes missing, and the shady DG Industries start a hostile take-over of Grant’s billion-dollar company. Will his first wife take Harrington Global and his entire fortune?

Grant Harrington has spent years fighting to protect everything he's built. Now the final battle will decide what's left standing. Lydia's campaign to destroy Grant has pushed Harrington Global—and everyone inside it—to the breaking point. Even as the hostile takeover falters, the damage she's set in motion continues to spread, threatening to tear the Harrington family apart for good.
