A Billionaire Romance Mara Ellis spent four years building her company from a rented desk and sheer determination. So when cold, ruthless billionaire Ethan Blackwell acquires it for less than it's worth, she walks in ready to fight. What she doesn't expect is for him to offer her a job. Forced to choose between eighteen months of contractual silence and working for the man who dismantled everything she built, Mara becomes Director of Operations at Blackwell Industries - determined to reclaim what's hers, one boardroom at a time. But Ethan isn't the enemy she expected. He's sharper, harder to read, and dangerously perceptive. He backs her in meetings, remembers everything she says, and has her coffee order waiting before she even asks. And the more Mara sees behind the frost, the more she realizes the real threat isn't losing her company. It's losing herself.
