The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart
For seven years, Clara Mercer has been trying to move on from the boy who stole her heart in college, and now he's gone. Practical and resourceful, she eventually gets a big break when she becomes personal assistant to the ruthless CEO of Thorne Enterprises, Sebastian Thorne. However, she enters his top floor office where she is amazed to discover the billionaire billionaire at the desk is her lost boyfriend. Even worse, he doesn't recognize her at all – he looks her dead in the eye.
Clara, who never wants to be disgraced and never wants to be without her income, matches his cold professionalism, step by step. His cold front melts away when he is forced to live next to Ray in his private estate for an extended period. At night, someone is working behind a mask and behind a set of work sessions. The rubbing produces an inescapable heat that emerges from a number of years of repression.
When Clara lets her guard down, she discovers that Sebastian didn't leave her behind on purpose. Seven years ago, corporate saboteurs threatened to kill Clara to break him. But Sebastian disappeared, so he could keep her safe, and assumed his family's empire with no one to look after him. He hired her now, and she's there to keep her close, as those same enemies resurface.
His rivals have ruined Clara's career with a devastating scandal and when Sebastian lets her go public to remove the target from her back, he jolts Clara back into her old life, breaking her heart again. However, this time, he won't walk away. A public duel is played out as Sebastian reveals the secret, risks everything, and shows that he's willing to give her his whole life for a price.
