The Illegitimate Billionaire

The Illegitimate Billionaire
Barbara Dunlop

His convenient wife is nothing like he expected…If black sheep billionaire Deacon marries Callie, his father has promised him legitimacy and acceptance. But Callie isn’t the gold-digger Deacon was promised, and now his heart’s on the line.

His orders are simple—marry his half brother’s gold-digging widow and bring her children into the fold.

But his convenient wife is nothing like he expected...

If black-sheep billionaire Deacon marries Callie, his father has promised him legitimacy...and acceptance. But Callie is not the gold digger Deacon was promised. She makes him burn with need...and rethink his selfish motives. Is deceiving Callie and her sons a price he’s willing to pay for his father’s love?
