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 98

Brin unbolts the locks on the door and pulled the door open. Speak of the devil. Sutton was standing on her doorstep with a big smile. The smile warmed Brin's heart. Sutton raised her hand and brandished a box of wine, which Brin guessed would be very expensive.

"I bear gifts and offerings." Sutton announced happily.

"Oh no, you didn't have to." Brin replied in mock horror and opened the door wider for Sutton to go in. She took the box of wine from her and led her to the sitting room. Sutton stopped short in surprise when she saw the bare chested hulk of a man looking out of place in Brin's sitting room.

"Ryker Scott!" She exclaimed. And went closer to him. Brin laughed at her antics, at making sure Ryker was real. She picked at the man's naked chest and Ryker laughed, humoring her. He crossed his hands over his body with mock horror on his face.
