Paula Choice Steps

Sophia Ward never imagined her life would spiral this way. One moment, she’s struggling to keep her family afloat; the next, she’s kidnapped by Adrian Vale—a ruthless criminal who threatens her family’s very existence if she doesn’t obey his orders. His mission? Infiltrate Blackwood Enterprises and manipulate its enigmatic CEO, Desmond Blackwood, into signing a contract that could change everything. Every choice she makes is a gamble. Every lie she tells is a risk. Desmond Blackwood has always lived by control and calculation. Blind yet unyielding, he’s nothing like the whispers that surround him. And when Sophia steps into his world—fragile, terrified, yet stubbornly brave—he senses a storm in her heart he can’t ignore. Then Sophia Ward walked into his life. Fragile, terrified, yet strangely bold. She carried secrets he didn’t yet understand—and a courage that defied her circumstances. Something about her stirred something in him he hadn’t felt in years.

But in a world where trust is a luxury, Desmond would have to decide: Could he risk believing in her, even if it might cost him everything? And Sophia must navigate love, danger, and deception. Can she protect her family without losing herself—or the one person she never thought she’d trust

You keep surprising me, Nate.” “My wife deserves it.” His lips brushed the side of my neck, warm and slow. My heart stumbled. I closed my eyes. If only he knew the truth. If only he knew that every time he touched me like this, I forgot something very important. I wasn’t the woman he thought he married. * * * Lena Martinez never imagined that her desperate need to save her younger sister’s life would land her in billionaire Nathan Blackwood’s world.
