He’ll get what he wants—even if I’m already taken.

Holt Sebastian is royalty in our world.

As CEO of the Sebastian News Corp, he’s the man with all the power. The man who decides if I’ll always just be a local television anchor or if I’ll be the rising star of my own show.

I make it my mission to be noticed. Make him see my potential. But soon, it's clear he's the one in charge.

His possessiveness is brutal.

His eyes own everything they touch. I feel his gaze on me when he's in the room. The heat of them as they rake down my body, taking me in, marking me as his. He doesn’t just want me on the screen—he wants me in his bed. 

And Holt Sebastian gets what he wants.

No one will stop him, no one will get in his way.

No one can protect me from his desire.

Not even the man who promised nothing would come between us and his ambition—my husband.

Laurelin Paige delivers a twist on Indecent Proposal in this billionaire workplace standalone romance featuring elements of fake relationship, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, and a new alphahole readers will love to hate.

Need some help sorting those Sebastians? Take a look at their family tree.

Full of snarky banter, palpable chemistry, dark and stormy emotions and a bit of angst, Brutal Billionaire was a fast-paced, steamy read with morally gray characters including a possessive, alpha of a hero and driven, independent heroine who clash at every turn.

(T)his story (tells) a different story. The story about how much a woman has to fight to get the same pay for the same job as a man. How much a woman has to think about her appearance, and what other people think about her, to be able to get the same success as a man. It’s really delicately described without just shaming the man, but pointing out the double standard of society. And that really got to me. I felt seen as a woman.
