Grayson Penrod

The Billionaire Backs Me Up

After six years of loving Julian Grayson and literally keeping him alive with her rare blood donations, Hazel Ashworth is just three days away from becoming his wife when he calls to cancel their wedding. The reason? Her half-sister Ivy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and her dying wish is to marry Julian instead. Hazel watches in horror as Julian takes her handcrafted wedding dress to Ivy, who plans to wear it while stealing not just Hazel's fiancé, but her entire wedding—same venue, same date, even the same cake flavor. It's a devastating replay of their childhood, where Ivy's mother Eleanor destroyed Hazel's family by seducing her father and driving her mother to suicide, then spent years pushing Hazel out while Ivy took everything that was once hers. But this time, Hazel refuses to break like her mother did. She demands Julian's entire company and two million dollars as compensation, then shows up at the hospital to deliver Ivy's "wedding gift" in the most explosive way possible. As Ivy plays the perfect dying victim and Julian remains blind to her manipulation, Hazel begins to suspect that her half-sister's illness might not be as terminal as everyone believes. When Ivy has the audacity to ask Hazel to witness her wedding to Julian, the gloves come off completely. Now Hazel must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth and reclaim what's rightfully hers, even if it means destroying the man she once loved in the process.

O Bilionário Me Apoia

Depois de seis anos amando Julian Grayson e literalmente mantendo-o vivo com suas raras doações de sangue, Hazel Ashworth está a apenas três dias de se tornar sua esposa quando ele liga para cancelar o casamento. O motivo? Sua meia-irmã Ivy foi diagnosticada com câncer terminal e seu último desejo é se casar com Julian. Hazel assiste horrorizada enquanto Julian leva seu vestido de noiva artesanal para Ivy, que planeja usá-lo enquanto rouba não apenas o noivo de Hazel, mas todo o seu casamento — mesmo local, mesma data, até o mesmo sabor de bolo. É uma repetição devastadora da infância delas, quando a mãe de Ivy, Eleanor, destruiu a família de Hazel ao seduzir seu pai e levar sua mãe ao suicídio, e depois passou anos afastando Hazel enquanto Ivy tomava tudo que uma vez foi dela. Mas desta vez, Hazel se recusa a quebrar como sua mãe fez. Ela exige toda a empresa de Julian e dois milhões de dólares como compensação, e então aparece no hospital para entregar o "presente de casamento" de Ivy da maneira mais explosiva possível. Enquanto Ivy interpreta a vítima moribunda perfeita e Julian permanece cego à sua manipulação, Hazel começa a suspeitar que a doença de sua meia-irmã pode não ser tão terminal quanto todos acreditam. Quando Ivy tem a audácia de pedir a Hazel para testemunhar seu casamento com Julian, as luvas caem completamente. Agora Hazel deve decidir até onde está disposta a ir para expor a verdade e recuperar o que é legitimamente seu, mesmo que isso signifique destruir o homem que ela uma vez amou no processo.

The Prize Was You

Sometimes the biggest prize is the heart you never meant to win. Callie Monroe had never planned to leave Bandera, Texas. Her roots ran deep in the dusty trails of her family's ranch, where she grew up wrangling horses and chasing sunsets. But when her mother was critically injured in a farming accident, the hospital bills stacked higher than hay bales. Her father—desperate and proud—demanded a sacrifice Callie couldn't make: marry the well-off widower next door, a man twice her age with a cold smile and controlling ways. With the help of a childhood friend who'd made it to the city, she packed up her boots, dreams, and barely enough cash to get by…and moved to New York. There, she found work behind the bar at a dive in Brooklyn, pouring drinks, dodging creeps, and sending every spare dollar back home. She wasn't looking for love, but when she heard of a game show that paid winners handsomely, she couldn't resist. But she sure as hell didn't expect a game show to change everything. Grayson Wolfe was a tech genius with the instincts of a wolf. He turned a teenage startup into a billion-dollar enterprise long before he was legally old enough to drink the whiskey he now sold in bulk. But when his father passed away, the old man's will came with a cruel twist: Grayson had to marry—and stay married for one full year—before he could legally inherit full control of the Wolfe fortune and family conglomerate. He didn't need love. He needed a name on paper. A bride. A loophole. In a move that shocked his board and delighted reality TV producers, Grayson entered a high-stakes televised dating show, ironically seeking a convenient partner. The premise? Win the game, win a partner…and a hefty cash prize. He didn't care about the money. He just needed someone willing to sign the damn papers. Armed with charm, wealth, and arrogance, Grayson assumed every woman would be throwing herself at him. Until the redhead in the red dress rejected him. Callie Monroe wasn't dazzled. She wasn't impressed. She hated 'controlling,' and that's what the man was; she couldn't understand why everyone wanted him. Yes, she wanted the money, but not when her pride and dignity were on the line. Grayson had never been humiliated, and so publicly; Callie intrigued and annoyed him, and somehow, he knew that their paths were still going to cross, and he would make her pay for her insolence. What happens when Grayson turns out to be Callie's boss at her new office? Their connection soon spirals into a dangerous game of desire, denial, and a deal that might cost him everything…especially his heart. He had everything… until her.
