Olivia Carter is a sharp, no-nonsense journalist with one rule-never fall for the men she writes about. But when she's assigned to cover a feature on Adrian Hayes, the world's most charismatic and successful billionaire musician, her resolve is tested. She loves his music, but she despises the man behind it-too arrogant, too overrated, and too dangerously charming for his own good. Adrian, used to adoration and headlines, is intrigued by the one woman who seems immune to his fame. When a fake dating rumor sparks a media frenzy, they're forced to navigate the chaos together. But Olivia's skepticism runs deep, fueled by a past betrayal that makes trusting Adrian impossible. As she uncovers the truth about his past and he discovers a secret about hers, the lines between love and career blur. When Olivia is faced with a choice between the career she's built and the man she never expected to love, she must decide-will she walk away from the biggest story of her life, or risk everything for a love that could be the realest thing she's ever known? A sizzling enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance filled with passion, secrets, and second chances, The Rich Musician is a love story that proves sometimes, the heart knows the truth before the mind is ready to believe it.
The newsroom buzzed with the chaotic energy of clacking keyboards and ringing phones, but all Olivia Carter could hear was the pounding in her chest. She gripped the printed assignment sheet in her hands, her nails pressing into the paper.
Cover an exclusive feature on Adrian Hayes, billionaire musician and international heartthrob.
She wanted to groan. Of all the stories her editor could have given her, why did it have to be him?
Olivia glanced across the office at Mark, one of her colleagues, who smirked knowingly. "Tough break, Carter," he called out, clearly enjoying her suffering. "I hear Hayes is as charming as they come. Try not to fall in love."
She rolled her eyes, shoving the paper into her bag. "Not likely."
Adrian Hayes. The man had talent-she couldn't deny that. His voice was pure magic, the kind that made even skeptics believe in something greater. But talent didn't make someone a good person, and she had no interest in falling for the façade.
She'd seen what he was capable of. She knew the betrayal that lurked beneath his carefully curated image.
"Olivia, in my office," her editor, Rachel Greene, called from across the room.
Taking a steadying breath, Olivia walked into Rachel's glass-walled office. The older woman leaned back in her chair, watching Olivia with calculating eyes. "I need your best work on this one," Rachel said. "Hayes is elusive. He doesn't do personal interviews, but his PR team agreed to let you shadow him for a week."
"A week?" Olivia's stomach twisted. Spending seven days around Adrian Hayes sounded like pure torture.
Rachel folded her arms. "This is a career-making opportunity. If you pull this off, you're looking at a front-page feature. Maybe even national syndication."
Olivia clenched her jaw. She needed this. More than anyone in the office knew.
Her mother's hospital bills were stacking up, and freelance gigs weren't cutting it. If this article opened doors, she couldn't afford to walk away.
"I'll do it," she said, ignoring the unease in her gut.
Rachel nodded approvingly. "You leave tomorrow. His team sent an itinerary. You'll be with him during rehearsals, meetings, even some of his private downtime."
Fantastic. Babysitting a billionaire.
As Olivia left the office, she told herself this was just another story. Just another subject.
But deep down, she knew Adrian Hayes was different.
And that terrified her.
