billionaire

When the Hale empire collapses under corruption charges, twenty-six-year-old Isla Hale becomes collateral damage. Her father faces prison, their fortune is gone, and every door in London slams shut. The only man with enough power to save him is the one who ruined him, Alexander Ward, her father’s former partner and sworn enemy. Alexander agrees to erase the debt, but his price is personal. One year. Under his roof. Under his control. Isla signs the contract out of loyalty, but soon realizes she’s trapped in something far more complicated than revenge. Alexander is cold, calculated, and brutally honest, yet the man she’s supposed to hate is also the first to treat her like an equal mind. Their clashes become the only thing that feels real in a life built on lies. As the months pass, the balance shifts. Isla learns the ruthless world Alexander moves through... boardrooms, betrayals, negotiations that feel like battles. He teaches her to fight, to read power, to stop apologizing. Somewhere between fury and fascination, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Then the contract leaks to the press. Overnight, Isla is branded as the CEO’s mistress and Alexander as a monster. Her father resurfaces, spinning the story to destroy them both and reclaim his position. The empire she thought she wanted to protect turns against her. But Isla isn’t the naïve girl who walked into Alexander’s office a year ago. She takes control, exposes her father’s crimes, and risks everything to clear Alexander’s name. In the process, she proves that she’s not a pawn in anyone’s game... not even his. When the dust settles, Alexander offers her freedom. She chooses to stay. Not because of the deal. Because she’s no longer his rival’s daughter. She’s his partner.

Now that the family finally found him again, they want to make up for everything with affection, luxury, and endless attention… even if it means by force. He never expected the Salazar family to be this crazy. His older brothers protect him, spoil him, and control everything about his life—so much that it might ruin his chance at love and freedom. Nathan only wanted peace. But with five obsessive brothers and a twin who won’t stop smiling softly at him… How will he survive life inside his new billionaire family? *** Note: # FAMILY DRAMA # NO INCEST # CONTAINS LGBT+ LOVE STORY

And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra—and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish.” I stared at him icily. “Excuse me, boy. Do I know you?”
