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. 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.
