“You're not just hired, Belle. You're mine.” His hot breath fanned against my neck as he pinned me against the wall. The words should have made me run. But the way he said them… it was dark, commanding, and dangerously tempting. It made it impossible to move. When Belle walked into Marlowe Corporation, all she wanted was stability for herself and her twins. What she didn't expect was to come face to face with the father she had never told them about.  The moment their eyes met, memories of the past resurfaced, along with all the secrets she's been hiding ever since. A job offer she couldn't refuse. A chemistry she couldn't control. Now, she's working for him, and quitting isn't an option. But this isn't just a job anymore. When Zalden Marlowe discovers the truth that she's the mother of his children, nothing will ever be the same.

“I want to break you. Every inch of you and then put the pieces together.” He gruffed, pinning me against the wall as his hot breath brushed my face.
