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 165: The Wedding (Part 18)Leonel ~~~ Enough is enough. It’s one thing for Madison to threaten not to help my business or to come to my house to fight Ava, or even to cheat on me. But this? This is where I have to draw the line. I’m flying down the stairs before I can stop myself, and I feel Ava hot on my trail. “Leonel!” She sounds alarmed. “What are you going to do?” “What I should have done a long time ago.” Before I can move any further, Ava whizzes in front of me and places a hand to my chest. “And what exactly should you have done a long time ago? You just learnt about the boy today; you can’t cause a scene now.” Her eyes are wide as she talks to me, almost like she’s trying to peer into my soul. But if she could see the dark thoughts brewing there, she would never talk to me again. “I’m not going to cause a scene,” I assure her, taking the hand she still has on my chest and intertwining our fingers. “I just want to put a stop to Madison’s nonsense.” Ava glances at our fingers, her g

Chapter: Chapter 164: The Wedding (Part 17)Leonel~~~If I was going to stop the wedding planners from putting up décor, I’m damn too late now. My entire front yard has been transformed into what I hoped would be Ava’s fairytale wedding. A million fairy lights stream from a canopy above, matching the ones wrapped around columns in front of the house. Beautiful, intricate silver tables (which I’m sure make Riley extremely happy) glow in the soft yellow light, and 1,000 chairs have been placed for the arrival of my guests. Already, at least 600 have been filled. “Well, fuck,” I mutter, watching from the window as a reporting van pulls up. Luckily, no one is allowed in the house itself. A thick line of security guards, headed by Alaric and Kenzo, makes sure of this. So I’m safe simply staring out the window. Scanning the crowd, I desperately try to make out Oliver, but his head of brown curls is nowhere in sight. I want to believe he’s okay, but it’s 6 p.m. now, with dusk setting, and he left ages ago.I shake off m

Chapter: Chapter 163: The Drive llOliver ~~~Adrian Allard is alive.Adrian Allard is also massive.Not fat or unhealthy, but at least 200 pounds of pure, bulky muscle.But somehow, sitting at his wooden table with a tiny mug in his massive palms, he looks more like a gentle giant than a beast.We’re all at the table: me, him, Stacy(who is surprisingly quietish) and Hayden.All that has gone through my mind since he offered me tea and a place to sit is what the absolute fuck?As Stacy mumbles about landlord stuff, he stares at me so intensely I fear he’ll burn a hole through my shirt with his eyes. And beside him, Hayden gently sips his tea, ignoring me entirely.It’s like being stared at by a ghost.“Would you like more tea, young man?” He asks me. His voice may be gruff, but it’s nothing but soft when he questions me. Something about being asked for tea of all things pisses me off. What, he abandoned Ava for years and now he’s offering me fucking tea?I drop my mug with a clatter that demands all their attention

Chapter: Chapter 162: The DriveOliver ~~~ I thought I talked a lot, but Stacy never shuts the fuck up. “You know I was going to buy two houses when I was younger? Two! Little hot mama Stacy wouldn’t believe she owns an entire line of houses!” She barks her laughter while I try not to puke at the statement “hot mama Stacy.” “That’s certainly something.” I drawl, hoping that draws the line. I mean, Jesus, there has to be a fucking line to draw with this woman, right? Not only does she seem unable to shut up, but she also refuses to turn the conversation back to Jaxon. Each time I try, she skillfully changes the subject, and after half an hour of nothing, I just decided to focus on the area around me. But that doesn’t help either. An hour ago I was in the bustling square of New York, cramped with people and possibility, now I’m in the middle of nowhere, and the last living person I saw must have been at least 20 minutes back. I get a sinking feeling about being stuck alone with The Madame, but it co

Chapter: Chapter 161: The Wedding (Part 16)Leonel ~~~ I’m pacing. I try going outside to help with the wedding set-up like Riley, who dutifully yells at the table guy for bringing gold tables instead of silver ones, but I can’t. I can’t leave this house. I can’t be the man Ava needs me to be. And I absolutely cannot go outside and yell about golden chairs. Bella tried helping my nerves, repeating how it’s not my fault and I could never have known, but her sisterly love isn’t what I need right now. I need Ava here, certain that she wants to go through with this marriage because every wedding vendor seems to be sure. Bella finally leaves me alone when she gets a call from some lawyer she contacted to help deal with the Riley court situation, she shoots me an apologetic glance before leaving for my office. Finally, some space to think. “You have some nerve, Leonel.” A voice says behind me, the very voice I came into this house trying to avoid: Evelyn. Okay, maybe no space to think. Evelyn Delmore isn’t parti

Chapter: Chapter 160: The Wedding (Part 15)Ava ~~~ I don’t even realise when I’m storming out of the office until I see Riley, Bella and Evie fix their eyes on me from different parts of the living room. All that plays in my head is “I have a son.” Not a car. Not another house. Not even a crush on a girl. Those can be taken away. But a son. “Of all the low-life, insulting, crazy…” I mumble, tossing as many insults as I can to myself about the situation, but not one feels fitting enough to describe the depth of anger and hurt brewing in me. Leonel’s warm hand clamps around my wrist, stopping me. “I’m sorry, Ava. I'm sorry my love. Please…” “Don’t ever fucking call me your love again!” I snatch my hand out of his and whirl around to face him. The weariness in his eyes only pisses me off more. “Don’t look at me like that Sinclair” I snarl, but really I feel a heaviness settling im my chest I’ve never felt before, “The paying people for my art thing I could kind of handle, inviting Madison over in jealousy I can someho
