Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Champagne towers and a spread of cold canapés and desserts dotted the room, creating an ambiance that could rival any hopping nightclub. Wayne looked around and mused, "How is this even more happening than a bar?" Winston's gaze zeroed in on Cassie amidst the lively crowd.
