WHEN BILLIONAIRE ENIGMA LEON KING collides with elusive heiress ISABELLA HARRINGTON, it's an explosive meeting accompanied by less than love at first sight. With his takeover of the business empire around the corner, a runaway bride wasn't on Leon’s agenda - until now… Upon their battle in boardrooms and behind closed doors, neither is ready for the fire that sparks between them. Isabella means to preserve the legacy of her family while Leon is determined to show her exactly what their passion can mean outside the world of business. But as they slowly uncover the haunting secrets of their past, Tessa and Ryker realize it's not just bitter memories that linger in our hearts and minds. Isabella and Leon fall — hard but immovably in love, rewiring their shock-mangled hearts as everything they've known is ordained safe and not a little thrilling to be thrown into chaos.
The ominous message sent chills down Isabella's spine. She stood frozen for a moment, the phone gripped tightly in her hand, as the implications of the threat washed over her. The urgency of their investigation felt more real than ever.
"Isabella, what does it say?" Leon's voice broke through her daze, pulling her back to the moment.
She handed him the phone, her hands shaking slightly. "It's from the same person. They're warning us to stop digging."
Leon read the message, his brow furrowing. "We can't let this intimidate us. If they want us to stop, it means we're getting closer to the truth."
"Easier said than done," Charlie interjected, concern etched across his face. "But if they're willing to threaten you, that means they have something to hide."
Isabella felt a rush of defiance. "Then we need to push forward. I can't let fear dictate my actions, especially not now."
