The Billionaire And His Heiress
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.

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.
First Kiss
The morning sun sifting through the curtains of her apartment spread soft light throughout the room. She sat on the couch, staring at her laptop screen, still reeling from last night. Mark's break-in had shaken her, but Leon's silent strength was an anchor. The feel of his hand upon hers still lingered, and she found herself replaying their conversation in her head.
"It's personal now."
The words had weight to them, more so than she would let herself accept. She looked across the room to Leon, who, against the kitchen counter, was sipping his coffee with a brooding expression. The air between them was thick with what was left unsaid, the memory of their shared moment hanging over them like a thread waiting to snap.
