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...

Sutton Price...

Sutton quickly stood up, knocking over the pillows on the sofa. She grabbed the pills from Zelda's hand and folded her palms over it. She couldn't hold Zelda's eyes, but the heat of her stare wasn't lost on Sutton.

"You little ingrate." Zelda cursed, landing a slap on her face.

"I can explain," Sutton said, trying to abate the woman's anger. But Zelda wasn't having any of it. She grabbed Sutton's hair forcefully and pulled her face closer to make her listen. Sutton winced at the pain which shit through her scalp, but she didn't allow the sound to escape through her lips. She didn't want to give Zelda the satisfaction of seeing her in pain.
