Bound to the Billionaire's Bed

The grand wedding of Ravenswood socialite Evelyn Thorne was underway, yet the groom was conspicuously absent.

Dominic Blackwood, the intended groom, had been in a vegetative state since a tragic car accident six months prior. His doctors had grimly predicted he wouldn’t survive the year.

In a desperate bid to see her son married before his untimely demise, Dominic’s mother, Eleanor Blackwood, had orchestrated this union.

The Blackwoods were among the wealthiest families in Ravenswood, yet no woman in her right mind would willingly tie herself to a man on death’s doorstep.

Evelyn sat before the vanity, her slender frame draped in an exquisite white wedding gown. Delicate makeup accentuated her porcelain complexion, making her resemble a freshly bloomed rose—soft, beautiful, and fragile.

But her almond-shaped eyes betrayed unease.

With only twenty minutes until the ceremony, her fingers flew across her phone screen, her heart pounding as she waited for a reply to a message she had sent hours ago.

Before being forced into this marriage, Evelyn had been in a secret relationship with Dominic’s nephew, Julian Whitmore.
