The Billionaire's Devotion

(Excerpt—) Their faces were still inches apart, breaths entangling. Instead of her lips, he kissed her on the cheek before pulling away to look at her. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She had trained her eyes on the view outside the window. "We could try again," Jacob said. "I don't know what you want from me." Sutton replied in a quiet voice. "I'll keep my word this time around. Six months and I'll set you free, Sutton Price."  Sutton wasn't listening anymore. Something else was on her mind. She brought her eyes to him again, and her next words were not what he expected. "What really happened to Perseus Castle?"  Jacob's hand fell away from Sutton's. His adam apple bobbed as he searched her face. He had the choice to lie. *** Jacob is a man with many demons, who finds himself entangled in a forbidden romance with his father's new wife. A marriage of inconvenience seems to be his only way out of it, but nothing goes according to plan. Sutton is a wealthy heiress broken badly from her past; a past that ties her with the billionaire devil Jacob, even before they meet...

Chapter 37

                          Jacob Mackay

The chilly night air blasted Jacob's face as he stepped outside. He had been in a moment with Sutton before she became closed up as usual. His phone had interrupted the moment. Now, Fox was on the other end of the line. He had been the one who called him.

He couldn't hide his irritation at how things had turned out. Everything had been perfect until now. He didn't understand why Sutton always put up walls around him, closing herself against him whenever he made advances. He knew there was something more to it.

"Don't take that tone with me, Mackay. Get over here as fast as you can. We've got news." Fox's reply was brief, and it had set Jacob on edge.

"I'll be there in thirty. Let me bring my family home first."

"I'll be waiting."
