MasukTHE BILLIONAIRE’S FRENCH KISS Lena comes to Paris to forget the boyfriend who betrayed her with her best friend—and to rebuild her shattered confidence. At an exclusive gala, she catches the eye of Alexandre Laurent, a devastatingly handsome billionaire who seems captivated by the woman who doesn’t know—or care—who he is. One impulsive dare leads to an unforgettable kiss. Then Lena runs. The next morning, she discovers Alexandre’s identity—and that their kiss was caught on camera. Suddenly, the anonymous woman in the blue dress becomes an internet sensation. Determined to find her, Alexandre begins searching. But Lena has already left Paris. She doesn’t want a billionaire, another man judging her beauty, or a life built on secrets and power. Yet when their paths cross again, resisting Alexandre proves harder than walking away. Because sometimes one reckless kiss becomes the beginning of the love story you never expected.

POV: LenaI had made one decision before stepping through the glass doors of Laurent International that morning.I would be professional.Completely professional.No thinking about Paris.No remembering the way Alexandre Laurent had looked at me across the lobby.No wondering why my heart still stumbled whenever I heard his name.And absolutely no becoming—the woman who kissed the CEO.I tightened my grip on the folder and headed for the elevators.I was Lena Hart.An employee.Nothing more.The doors opened. I stepped inside with several other employees and fixed my eyes on the glowing numbers overhead.Someone discussed the international partnership. Another complained about the negotiations and the workload they had created.I listened without hearing.My thoughts were already upstairs, on the documents waiting for me.Good.Work was safe.Work didn't ask questions. It didn't make me remember a Parisian night I'd spent weeks pretending meant nothing.The elevator stopped. I steppe
Alexandre "Hello, Lena." The moment the words left my mouth, I realized how strange they sounded. Too familiar for two people who hadn't spoken since Paris. Too simple for everything that had happened between us. She didn't answer immediately. She just stared at me. I couldn't blame her. I hadn't expected to see her either. I had known she worked for the subsidiary. I'd read her name. I'd seen her photograph in the employee file. I'd seen the reports her department submitted. I'd known exactly which division she belonged to. But none of that had prepared me for this. Seeing her in person was different. Completely different. In Paris, she had been a woman in a blue dress standing beneath warm lights, looking at me as though she had forgotten for one reckless moment that the world existed outside that room. Here, she looked like someone else. Not a different woman. The same woman. But changed. She stood with several folders pressed against her
LenaI arrived at L&L firms earlier than I usually did.Not because I had suddenly become the kind of person who enjoyed arriving before everyone else.I simply didn't want to spend another morning rushing through the entrance with my bag slipping from my shoulder and my thoughts already ten steps ahead of me.I wanted to start the day calmly.I pushed open the glass doors and stepped into the lobby.The difference was immediate.Something was happening.People were moving faster than usual.Employees crossed the wide lobby carrying folders, tablets, and phones. Some spoke quietly into headsets while others stood together in hurried conversations before disappearing toward the elevators.Even the reception desk seemed busier.I slowed for a moment.My eyes moved across the room."What happened?" I asked Nadia as she passed me.She stopped."You're early.""I've been told that's a good thing."She smiled."Very good thing today."I frowned."Why?"She glanced toward the elevators."Int
