Elliot & Annabelle Series by Nadia Lee

My life crashed and burned two years ago, and now I'm a stripper--a very bad one. Worse, I'm in debt to a dangerous man who orders me to seduce a billionaire prodigy. Except why would a guy as handsome and rich as Elliot Reed want me, a girl with no education, no prospects, and a younger sister to feed? But Elliot is more than the incorrigible bad boy that the world sees. He is kind to my sister and looks at me like I'm a decadent dessert he wants to devour... moreMy life crashed and burned two years ago, and now I'm a stripper--a very bad one. Worse, I'm in debt to a dangerous man who orders me to seduce a billionaire prodigy. Except why would a guy as handsome and rich as Elliot Reed want me, a girl with no education, no prospects, and a younger sister to feed? But Elliot is more than the incorrigible bad boy that the world sees. He is kind to my sister and looks at me like I'm a decadent dessert he wants to devour. When Elliot offers me money for sex, I wish I could walk away, but he ups the ante: a million dollars for one year of marriage. The man's gotta be insane, but beggars with less than a hundred bucks in the bank can't be choosers, and I want to give my sister a life better than my own. Now, trapped between a man who controls my future and a man who could own my heart, I wonder if I haven't screwed up my life even worse when my "husband" refuses to call me by my given name, and I run into my ugly past...and his. Note: This book contains a cliffhanger ending. less

When Elliot Reed offered a one-year contract marriage, I accepted it. Jobless, with a younger sister to provide for, I didn't have much of a choice even though I found him insufferably arrogant and too attractive for my own good. But somewhere along the way, our terms seemed to have altered. Now Elliot wants a fresh start, and I agree. I would like a peaceful marriage--even if it's fake, and even if it's only for a year. Despite our commitment, the ugly baggage we carry gets in the way... moreWhen Elliot Reed offered a one-year contract marriage, I accepted it.
