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.
Isabella's heart raced as she and Charlie stepped out of the coffee shop, the cool night air enveloping them. The tension between them hung thick as they walked down the street, her mind still reeling from the meeting with Mark and the unsettling message she had received.
"Do you think Mark is really watching us?" Charlie asked, glancing over his shoulder, his tone a mixture of concern and urgency.
"I don't know," Isabella admitted, her stomach churning. "But I can't shake the feeling that we're being tracked. We have to be careful."
They walked in silence for a few moments, their footsteps echoing on the pavement. The city buzzed around them, oblivious to the storm brewing in their lives. Isabella could feel the weight of the investigation pressing down on her shoulders, the secrets intertwining with their lives like an inescapable web.
