Amour Secret

"I want to hear it from you. I want to watch you look me in the eye and tell me they aren't mine… without looking away even once." I swallowed hard, because the game he was playing was cruel. I knew that the slightest flicker in my expression would feed his suspicions. I lifted my chin, met his gaze without blinking, and spoke slowly, "They. Are. Not. Yours." The muscle in Damian's jaw tightened, and his breath brushed my face, warm and steady. "You've gotten better at this, Harper," he murmured, using my last name like a provocation. "But you're still not that good." "Or maybe you're just hearing what you want to hear," I shot back, fighting the suffocating closeness. "You hate losing. But sometimes, losing is inevitable. Accept it and get out of my life." Stella was desperate. After dropping out of college to pay off the debts her father left behind, all she wanted was a fresh start, even if that meant forging a résumé and swallowing her pride to land a job as the secretary to the ruthless CEO Damian Winter. What she didn't expect was that her new boss would be as irresistible as he was dangerous. Or that a series of sharp provocations and intense encounters would lead to an indecent contract. A secret agreement ruled by power and desire, in which Stella committed to satisfying Damian's every whim, with one single condition: she could never get pregnant. But what would happen when Stella discovered she had broken that rule? Now pregnant and emotionally shattered, Stella learned from the news on TV that Damian was engaged to a wealthy heiress. Hiding the truth seemed like her only option. But secrets would never stay buried forever.

She dreamed of a fairy tale. He turned that dream into a ruthless contract. Olivia Bailey was an executive at her father’s engineering company. Romantic and devoted, she had always dreamed of building a family, and believed she had found that future beside her boyfriend. On the night she decided to give herself to him, she was drugged by her own boyfriend who planned to “sell” her virginity to his boss in exchange for a promotion. But a mix-up of hotel suites changed everything. Olivia ended up in the arms of a cold, womanizing CEO who didn't believe in love or happily-ever-afters. From that forbidden night, an unexpected pregnancy was born. Desperate to save her brother from ruthless loan sharks and protect her father with heart disease, Olivia used the card left behind that night to pay the debt… and ended up in the hands of Liam Holt. He needed to marry and produce a legitimate heir to inherit his grandfather’s fortune and keep his empire. She had no way out. Under pressure, she agreed to a one-year contract marriage, pretending to be the perfect wife of a billionaire. Between hatred, desire, and secrets, Olivia discovered that pretending forever was impossible… and that this contract could be her prison, or the path to a once-in-a-lifetime love.

"I have sold myself to my boss to pay off a debt. I must be his wife and follow his rules under contract. A secret love since I met him, my husband has a cold and hard heart. Could there be a good heart hidden behind that façade?

Soñaba con un cuento de hadas. Él convirtió su sueño en un contrato despiadado. Olívia Bittencourt era administradora en la empresa de ingeniería de su padre. Romántica y dedicada, siempre soñaba con formar una familia, y creía haber encontrado ese futuro al lado de su novio. La noche en que decidió entregarse, fue drogada por su propio novio, quien planeaba "vender" su virginidad al jefe a cambio de un ascenso. Pero un intercambio de suites lo cambió todo: Olívia terminó en los brazos de un CEO frío, adicto a las mujeres, que no creía en el amor ni en el para siempre. De esa noche prohibida nació un embarazo inesperado. Desesperada por salvar a su hermano de las garras de los prestamistas y proteger a su padre cardíaco, Olívia usó la tarjeta que quedó de aquella noche para pagar la deuda… y terminó en manos de Liam Holt. Él necesitaba casarse y tener un hijo legítimo para heredar la fortuna de su abuelo y mantener el imperio; ella no tenía otra salida. Presionada, aceptó un matrimonio por contrato de un año, fingiendo ser la esposa perfecta del multimillonario. Entre odio, deseo y secretos, Olívia descubrió que era imposible fingir para siempre… y que ese contrato podía ser su prisión o el camino hacia un gran amor.

They say wine gets better with age. And being the assistant to the most powerful CEO in the country is far from easy… but I love it. Andrew Tanner is a good man, someone I deeply respect, and I’ve always kept things professional—no matter how dangerous it is to admit that he’s also incredibly attractive. He’s much older than me, and I know my place. Or at least, I thought I did… until a private email lands in my hands by mistake, changing everything. After nearly twelve years at the top of the company, Andrew never imagined that his greatest temptation wouldn’t be a billion-dollar deal, but his assistant—young, brilliant, and far too close. When someone from his past resurfaces with a dangerous blackmail, threatening to destroy everything he’s built, Johari becomes his strongest support… and his greatest weakness. A relationship between them is taboo. Forbidden. Andrew is nearly forty-five. Johari is twenty-eight. He’s her boss. She knows it. They both feel the attraction. Can they keep their feelings a secret… or will desire expose them both? **** ©Work registered with Safe Creative.
