The Attention

Mirabelle Vance has spent her entire life trying to earn a love that was never freely given. Raised by parents who valued achievement over affection, she grew strong in silence—always overlooked, always second to her beautiful and favored sister. For seven years, she endured a loveless engagement to billionaire heir Rhys Granger, believing patience could turn obligation into devotion. Instead, she uncovers betrayal that shatters her heart and forces her to walk away from the life chosen for her. On the day everything falls apart, Mirabelle meets Ashton Laurent—a powerful, feared CEO who has secretly loved her for years. When he offers her a fake marriage to protect her from scandal and give her a fresh start, she agrees, believing it’s only a temporary solution. But what begins as a contract slowly becomes something deeper. As old wounds resurface and enemies refuse to let go, Mirabelle must decide if she is brave enough to trust again—and whether love can truly exist without conditions. A sweeping billionaire romance about betrayal, resilience, and discovering that sometimes the greatest love story begins when you finally choose yourself.
