Power made him dangerous. Desire made him irresistible. He was the kind of man women warned each other about. Powerful. Untouchable. Dangerous. Emma Lawson never planned to fall for a billionaire—especially one like Alex Mercer. A man whose name opens doors, controls empires, and hides secrets behind flawless suits and cold gray eyes. When he walks into her small boutique, he doesn’t just change her day… he changes her life. Alex offers her everything she’s ever struggled for—opportunity, protection, desire. But nothing about him comes without a price. Because behind the wealth and confidence lies a man who plays by his own rules. A man whose past is darker than he admits. A man who was never meant to love someone like her. What begins as temptation turns into obsession. What feels like passion becomes a dangerous choice. And walking away may be the only way to survive. She knew he was dangerous. She wanted him anyway. The Billionaire I Should Have Run From is a gripping, emotionally charged romance about power, secrets, forbidden desire, and the kind of love that leaves scars long after the final page.
