The 'Defective' Billionaire and His Relentless Appetite for Me Novel

Clara Bennett's world crumbled when she caught her husband in her best friend's arms, a betrayal that sealed her tragic fate across two intertwined lives.

Reborn on the eve of her engagement, she refuses to repeat the mistakes that destroyed her before. This time, she'll choose security over sentiment.

Her target: William Foster, Beijing's notoriously sickly magnate, whose wealth promises the widow's fortune she craves.

When William proposes instead, Clara accepts with calculated precision—never imagining the comfortable widowhood she's banking on.

She even relishes watching her former husband defer to her as his aunt, savoring her newfound status.

Then William reveals the truth: "Darling, I was never ill."

——

William Foster commands respect as Beijing's most elusive tycoon—distant, controlled, untouchable by desire.

That reputation shattered the moment his nephew's fiancée entered his life, igniting an obsession he can't extinguish.

A marriage of convenience becomes his strategy to bind her to him, but his true goal runs deeper.

He's determined to possess her completely, transforming their arrangement into something far more consuming.
