Novels by Clare

Ethan Cole built an empire on two things,a ruthless precision and zero tolerance for failure. In four years as CEO of Cole Tech Enterprises, he's gone through nineteen assistants. Some lasted weeks. Most didn't survive the first. Then came Lily. No Ivy League degree. No polished resume. Just hotel management experience, nervous hands, and a habit of knocking things over at the worst possible moments. She was every reason he should've said no. He hired her anyway. And then she did something none of the others ever did She stayed. Not because she was perfect. But because every time he pushed, she pushed back harder. Every time he expected her to break, she showed up the next morning like the argument never happened. He told himself it was impressive in a clinical sense. Useful, even. He told himself he was keeping her around because firing her would be inconvenient. He told himself a lot of things. But Ethan Cole didn't build a billiondollar company by lying to himself and lately, every time Lily walks into a room, the lies are getting harder to hold. She isn't what he planned for. She isn't what he'd ever allow. And she's becoming the one thing he can't control. Now all he wants... is her

Five years ago, Sierra Savalini made the biggest mistake of her life, falling into bed with a stranger who turned out to be everything she’d sworn to avoid: powerful, and untouchable. She left that hotel room before sunrise, vowing to forget the man and the night that changed her forever. Now, she’s a single mother fighting to keep her struggling bakery alive. When she is presented with a dream opportunity, a job as a private chef to a reclusive billionaire, she can't say no. The pay is life-changing, and the position promises stability for her and her child. But on her first day, the man she’s hired to work for, stands in front of his luxurious mansion to welcome her. Louis Trevejo. The stranger from that night. The man who got her pregnant. Trapped under the same roof, Sierra tries to keep her distance, pretending their past never happened. Louis, however, can’t shake the feeling that he’s seen her before. Unfortunately, they both have an irresistible magnet that pulls them together, no matter how hard they try to ignore it. When Louis discovers the secret she’s been hiding, he’s not just fighting for answers. He’s fighting for the family he never knew he had. Can Sierra trust him this time… or will the past consume them both?
