These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride
“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 ask, pulling him closer until our lips are inches apart. “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: Chapter 135: The Hotel Leonel ~~~ I stare at the picture. Ava with messy hair. Ava with messy lipstick. Ava in that messy sweatshirt. Ava being messy. My hand shakes as my eyes stay locked on the picture longer than they should, but every time I try to look away, I see her in my vision anyway. “Boss?” Oliver says slowly, “Are you good?” How can I be, when no matter what I do I can see my fiancée dressed in another man’s clothes, leaving her hotel room as if she’s committed some major crime. “You need to see this,” I say lowly, handing the phone to him without moving my face. I feel him take it out of my hand, and for a long moment, silence fills the space. I expect him to yell, or curse, or react like he did when it was Madison’s cheating picture, but Oliver only meets my quietness with his own. I don’t know how much time passes before Oliver says gently, “We don’t know this means she did anything, I mean… this is Ava we’re talking about.” Is he being serious? Finally, I explode, “S

Chapter: Chapter 134: The ArticleLeonel ~~~ It's clear: Jaxon Pierce thinks I'm an idiot. "You must be out of your goddamn mind if you think I will ever leave Ava for you" I growl at him. "I only gave you a choice, Sinclair: You either give up the girl or the business. Pick one." My hands shake from the force of my clutching the phone, "You're going to pay for this Jaxon." I can picture his sleazy smile as he replies, "Well, Leonel, whatever I use to pay will be from your business. So really, who loses?" The bastard doesn't give me a second to reply before I hear the beep of the ended call. I stare at my phone like it's a bomb, a second from going off. What do I do? How do I handle this? My head throbs as I keep looking down at the blank screen, hoping it will open again and reveal that this has all been some sick prank. Beside me, Oliver's body heat keeps me steady. I turn to him to find his golden eyes expectant, and I sigh from not having any good news to tell him. "The bastard wants me to br

Chapter: Chapter 133: The WriterAva ~~~Of all the stupid. Insane. Befuddling things I’ve heard, that theory really beats them all. Obviously, there’s so much wrong with what Nicco just said, number one being that it’s been years since all this went down. What, does Nicco think police didn’t have the bright idea to trace the river? Second, if dad ran away with Hayden, why not just come back with the boy or report Jaxon? Why hide?Why still abandon me? “It’s not a great idea,” I mumble, still a little heady from the press of Nicco’s soft palms to my face. “There aren’t going to be many great ideas at this point, but following the river is a shot. God, if I had the chance to find my dad I’d-“ He stops. His eyes dart away from me for a moment before he looks back, Irises watery, and I feel a tinge of sadness for him. “Nicco…” He steps back a little, plastering on his I ’m-a-charming-millionaire smile. I don’t even remember the last time I saw it on him. I didn’t realise how much pain it masks. Final

Chapter: Chapter 132: The LevinesAva ~~~ My whole world is spinning. I thought Jaxon having a kid was bad, but his whole file is madness. I pace to the other side of the room, eyes glued on Nicco’s phone screen. “Shot his parents? Abused and left his girlfriend? Got her pregnant and didn’t see the baby for two years? Then the fucking year he did see the kid, the entire family disappears?” Ticking off each oddity has me sounding more like a maniac by the second. The pictures of Hazel Levine, Jaxon’s ex-girlfriend, haunt me as I stare at them, not just because I’m looking at a picture of a ghost, but because she’s a ghost so much like me: red hair and green eyes. A chill has me looking away as I think this may as well have been my case file. Dad also disappeared when Hazel Levine and her son did, but I have to skip over that fact. I don’t want to consider the possibility that he was a victim like Hazel was, whose body was found along the Racksom river 3 weeks after she, Hayden and my dad went missing.

Chapter: Chapter 131: The ConditionLeonel ~~~ When the world lights up again, everything is in chaos. The room rings around me with people yelling things I can’t comprehend. I squint against a headache and blinding flashes of light. Did I die? If I did, this is a really fucked up introduction to heaven, and I think the angel guiding me around should probably get some other job they’re better at. “Leonel.” My name echoes in my ears as if someone is speaking to me through water. I wince and try to stand, only to hit Oliver’s familiar chest. Well if he’s here then I sure as hell didn’t make heaven. “Leonel.” He says my name again, sharper this time. The sound jabs at my brain, just like the cacophony of voices I heard earlier now becoming clearer. I make out a woman’s high screeched “unfair.” And one man’s “it’s his business, you can’t do that!” Business… That jolts me, and with the help of Oliver pulling me up, I’m back on my feet in an instant. “Did I faint?” I whisper at him as another flash of cam
