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.

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 64

                        Jacob Mackay

When he saw Sutton earlier, hope bloomed in his chest and he got this warm, tingly sensation all over, but Zion Castle had to step in and cause him to plunge back into the cold. Zion was the last person he expected to see here. He didn't think the man would rub it in his face so much that he even showed up at Jace's funeral to taint the kid's last resting place. 

The emotion was raw today and he really needed someone to blame for it all.
