These Reckless Vows: The Billoniare’s Bride
🔞 Spicy 🔞“You're a long way from safe, Miss Allard,” he whispers, his fingers tracing the strap of my bra until I shiver. "If you want to turn around, I’d suggest you do so now.”
I stare up at him, watching as his dilated grey eyes dip to my cleavage.
“Where will I go, Mr. Sinclair?” I dare to ask, “Where can I go that you won’t find me?”

24 year old Ava Jade Allard has a few problems, but like most issues, there’s nothing a little money can't fix. So when Ava attends an art show to sell a few of her paintings to some of the richest, high-society members of New York, she’s sure she can kill two birds with one very rich stone.
In and out, just like she hoped.
But New York seems set on eating Ava whole, and as one mess leads to another, she finds herself in the arms of Billionaire Leonel Sinclair, a ruthless CEO who is still dealing with the consequences of a scandal he was entangled in 4 years ago.
Now more desperate than when she started, Ava reluctantly turns to this stone-cold, terrifying, but somehow insanely hot Billionaire to help her set right what was wronged 4 years ago, while somehow doing the same for him, and with one contract marriage, Ava signs away her single status, anonymity and possibly her soul.
Will this contract fix the manytraumatic wrongs of her past, or will Ava crumble under the weight of her grey-eyed, stoic CEO, whom she seems less and less able to keep her body and heart away from with each passing day?
What happens when Ava agrees to these reckless vows and emerges as the Billionaire’s Bride?

Chapter: BOOK TWO TEASER: These Fighting Desires16 Years Later Valentina Sinclair ~~~~ “I thought my parents loved me.” Willow and I lay shoulder-to-shoulder, simmering in our shared annoyance. “Same.” She responds, tilting her head to stare at me, “Do you think if I beg Aunt Ava enough she’d stop this from happening?” I scrunch my nose, thinking of what mum would say if Willow talked to her. “Willow, angel, this is such an amazing family tradition.” I mock my mum’s enthusiastic voice. Willow giggles, “And then uncle Leonel will join in, cause he’s always on aunt Ava’s side.” I lower my voice to try to get Dad’s deep tone. “Your mother wants the best for you, mi mundo, and so do I.” Willow covers her face with her red-gel fingers, her shoulders shaking from laughter. “Uncle Leonel will murder you if he finds out you were mocking him and your mum.” She breathes between chuckles. “Oh please. My parents would die before they ever punish me. They’re such softies.” It helps that I’m actually good. The straig

Chapter: Epilogue lllAva ~~~ Surprise, surprise, Leonel makes love to me in the car before we head to the office. I’m still coming down from the high of being eaten out when he swerves into the car park, looking at me with creased brows. “Are you okay?” He murmurs, resting one hand on my belly and the other on my cheek. These days, he’s been a little overbearing. But honestly? After Jaxon, I’ll take my overprotective husband any day. “I’m fine.” I assure him. We’re greeted at the door by my favourite receptionist, Fiona, and when she spots my small belly, I can see her mind reeling to ask if I’m pregnant or just overfed. “We’re expecting Fiona. You can ask.” Leonel’s husky voice says low enough to almost make me whimper. Fiona lights up, and I can’t help blushing as she squeals, “Oh, that’s wonderful Sinclairs! No wonder you haven’t been to the office in some time Mrs Sinclair. I’m overjoyed for you!” “Thank you, Fiona,” I say shyly, and Leonel squeezes my hand. Right then, the eleva

Sike. Now, my post-sex glow stares back at me from the mirror. I twist to admire my little belly in my pantsuit, loving the weight of my baby. I'm not the only one. Leonel wraps his big arms around me, soothing my stomach and whispering, “You get more beautiful every time I see you.” I scoff, “You mean I get bigger?” “Ava.” he warns, “don't do that. It's healthy weight, and you look good.” he nips my ear, “delicious even.” I stifle my moan. The last thing I want is for my sexy husband to seduce me into not going to the office. I intertwine our fingers and change the subject, “I have a feeling the baby’s a girl.” Leonel’s eyes glow, “a mini you? I'm so fucked.” I blush all the way to the dining room. Leonel insists on carrying me down the stairs, like he has every day since I showed him my

She moans, and the sound awakens every nerve in my body. “Leonel.” She whispers, still so sleepy. My favorite part of the day these days has been waking her up with my cock. But I’m careful, I have to be. I kiss her, moving my lips as gently as I’m driving into her. She whimpers that sweet noise that always almost makes me cum. “Oh fuck.” She says softly, then whines, “You can go harder.” “I don’t want to hurt you.” I grunt, even as it takes all my energy not to go rough. One bare breast peaks from beneath the covers, and I resist sucking that hardened pink nipple. She isn’t satisfied. I can tell from how she keeps arching up, telling me with her body that she needs more. I trail down her neck, hoping butterfly kisses make up for my softness. “Harder.” She pants. I kiss her nose, “No.” Frowning, she wraps her legs around my thrusti

Like, I got high for the first time good. Every time I glance to Leonel, my insides turn to jelly, and all I can imagine is him railing me again. Or… making love to me, if you feel like being poetic. “Are you okay?” He whispers, “are you… sore?” “Baby, if you ask me that fucking question one more time I might just break up with you.” He laughs, but it’s short and strained, “I just want you to be okay. I’ve never slept with a virgin before and I know the first time can be hard.” “First two times you mean.” I insist, reminding him we did it from the back right before we came here. The tips of his ears actually turn pink, “Ava, I’m serious.” I know, and that’s what’s so infuriating. How can anyone be serious at a time like this? We’re in Paris. All our threats are dead or backed off. Our friend’s are about to get engaged. Most impo

Chapter: Sex, Suites and Proposals (V)Leonel ~~~ God, I love this woman. Ava looks like an angel, curled into my chest as she snores softly. I rub my hand over her cheek, then through her hair. I don’t think I’ve told her how much I love this short look on her. Gently, I fix her bra, remembering how hungry I’d been when I yanked it down, then I peel myself away from her so I can run a shower. “No.” She protests, reaching for me, still half-asleep. I kiss her nose, chuckling, “I want to wash off.” “No,” she says again, then cracks open one beautiful green eye, “stay with me.” Well, there’s no arguing with that. I take my pants and boxers off entirely, throwing them to the ground where my t-shirt is, before snuggling under the covers with her. She sighs happily, wrapping her legs around my waist. She’s so magnificent. Everything about her makes me fall even more in love. It’s no wonder I came so fast. I can still hear her desperate moans, her passionate panting. The way she said my name, and don’t even ge

And I can’t lie, the itch to down a couple of bottles of whiskey bites at me, but the thought of getting drunk and leaving Olivia in her state bites harder. Alex’s red-rimmed eyes flit between our group. “I—I feel bad about Ricklan.” “Fuck yes, you should feel bad,” Ryker snaps. “If you hadn’t gotten in our way, we could have killed Nester. We could have saved your people. Olivia’s dad would still be alive!” Alex clutches the rose closer to her chest, stepping back. “I didn’t think… I didn’t know…” She shuts her eyes, her throat working. “He promised me he was going to let you guys go.” “Yes, because the guy who enslaved an entire city is just the man you should trust.” Axel’s voice drips with surprising sarcasm. Even now, I assumed he’d be on her side. Her eyebrows crawl up. “It’s not—” “That simple?” Hunter finishes, tired eyes glaring at

Chapter: Chapter 153: RykerWe say we’ll take care of her, so that’s what we do. Hunter holds her up as the nurse examines her for wounds, and—thankfully—doesn't find anything but a few scratches. Talon helps her strip out of those bloody clothes as gently as possible. Axel relays the information the doctor needs about what happened, leaving out anything relating to Penwood for obvious reasons. And when the nurse walks her to the bathroom to help her wash off, I jump at the opportunity. I didn’t want to just sit around being useless. I want to show Olivia that I can be here for her no matter what happens, that she isn’t just someone I want when things are going good and we’re having fun. I take her from the nurse, ignoring the older woman's narrowed eyes. “This is a hospital,” the nurse informs me as I lead Olivia into the bathroom. “I hope you don’t intend to do anything funny in there.” I glare at her. What the fuck does she take me for? Even I’m not that much of an asshole. But looking at her is a mist

His voice is the only thing loud enough to snap me out of my head. I turn to him, and I’m shocked to meet him running in front of me. The bullet misses me by an inch. It hits Alpha Rick instead. I scream as he goes down, crashing into the asphalt like a stone. “RICK!” I cry. I slide on my knees beside him, not caring as the ground scrapes my skin. I just need to make sure that he’s okay. But Rick has never looked less okay in his life. He’s slumped on his side, hand on the floor like he’ll never move it again. “No, no, no, Alpha Rick.” I shake him, tears stinging my eyes as my shaking becomes more aggressive. When that doesn’t work, I muster all the strength I have and roll him over. The bullet is lodged right in his chest. There’s no telling if it hit him in the heart, but enough blood seeps out of the wound to make me panic. “Alpha Rick

Chapter: Chapter 150: OliviaThe sun rises behind Nester’s burning body. Monday. I have class today. Dillon is supposed to teach it. What is it? Sparring, I think? It’s difficult to remember as I watch a man curdle in orange flames. Nester Rist is swallowed by fire. Torrents of black smoke try to call my attention, but somehow, even now, I cannot focus on Nester. I focus on the one thing shining brighter than any sun. Me. My entire body glows gold—my eyes, my hair, my skin. I don't dare look down at myself, afraid of this version I don’t truly recognize. All I know is… I almost died. Life was seeping out of me fast. I was so close to eternal darkness, or maybe I would have gone to my mum, I don't know, but then gold pulled me back. Always, always gold. I finally raise my face away from myself, staring out at the crowd. No one moves, and for a second, I think we’re all frozen in time. Maybe I am dead. Maybe this is my hell. To look at them forever.

I should be scared of Nester, his mere presence stopping the riots. But as he makes his way over to us, I only feel the overwhelming need to punch him in the face. When he walks past me, I bark, “Why the hell is she still passed out if you’re awake?” The men holding me yank me back like I'm some wild animal, but Nester actually looks me in the eyes, sadness in his gaze. “I don’t know,” he says earnestly. My heart clenches as he goes over to her, looking down at her with thin lips and a paper-white face. If he wanted to kill her, he’d toss her in the fire right now. He could smash his foot into her head and end her. But he doesn’t. He doesn’t because he’s not lying. He has no hand in her being passed out. I think I might throw up. “Brother,” Ricklan calls desperately, running his fingers over Olivia’s

Désirer Mon Némésis Contractuel: La Fiancée du Milliardaire
« Vous êtes loin d'être en sécurité, Mademoiselle Allard », chuchote-t-il, ses doigts traçant la bretelle de mon soutien-gorge jusqu'à ce que je frissonne. « Si vous voulez faire demi-tour, je vous conseille de le faire dès maintenant. »
Je lève les yeux vers lui, regardant ses yeux gris aux pupilles dilatées plonger vers mon décolleté.
« Et où irais-je, Monsieur Sinclair ? » osé-je demander. « Où puis-je aller sans que vous ne me retrouviez ? »
À 24 ans, Ava Jade Allard accumule les ennuis. Mais comme pour la plupart des problèmes, il n'y a rien qu'un peu d'argent ne puisse régler. Alors, quand Ava se rend à une exposition d'art pour vendre quelques-unes de ses toiles à la haute société new-yorkaise, elle est certaine de pouvoir faire d'une pierre deux coups... et un coup très riche.
Entrer, vendre, et repartir. C'est tout ce qu'elle espérait.
Mais New York semble bien décidée à n'en faire qu'une bouchée. De fil en aiguille, un fiasco en entraînant un autre, elle se retrouve projetée dans les bras du milliardaire Leonel Sinclair, un PDG impitoyable qui panse encore les plaies d'un scandale survenu quatre ans plus tôt.
Plus désespérée que jamais, Ava se résigne à se tourner vers ce milliardaire glacial, terrifiant, mais affreusement sexy, pour l'aider à réparer les injustices du passé. Tout en faisant de même pour lui, elle sacrifie son célibat, son anonymat et peut-être même son âme en signant un contrat de mariage.
Ce contrat effacera-t-il les traumatismes de son passé, ou Ava finira-t-elle par se briser sous le poids de ce PDG stoïque aux yeux gris ? Un homme dont elle semble de moins en moins capable d'éloigner son corps et son cœur, les jours passant.
Que se passera-t-il lorsque Ava prononcera ces vœux imprudents pour devenir l'épouse du milliardaire ?

Je ne l'ai jamais connu très expressif, mais en cet instant, il se livre à moi sans armure, et tout son être me crie qu'il m'aime.J'entrouvre les lèvres pour répliquer, mais chaque mot du dictionnaire semble avoir déserté mon cerveau, et je me demande s'ils y reviendront un jour.Aucun homme, pas même James, ne m'avait jamais dit qu'il m'amait. Et jamais, en un million d'existences, je n'aurais imaginé que le premier serait Leonel Sinclair.
