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 chilling message from Isabella's phone echoed in her mind, a relentless reminder that they were being watched. As she and Leon stepped out into the night, the weight of the world pressed heavily on their shoulders. The streetlights flickered, casting long shadows that danced eerily along the pavement.
"Who could it be?" Isabella whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "Who knows what we're planning?"
Leon's expression was grim, his jaw set tight as he glanced around, assessing their surroundings. "We need to get somewhere safe. We can't discuss this out in the open."
Isabella nodded, feeling a sense of urgency creeping in. They hurried to her car, the silence between them filled with unspoken fears. As Leon climbed into the passenger seat, Isabella couldn't shake the feeling of being cornered, like prey in a predator's sights.
"Where to?" Leon asked, his tone tense.
