Pregnant By The Alpha Billionaire

Sarah Rudy Billionaires

“One night. One mistake he swore would never happen twice. One secret she never meant to keep this long. Elena Voss doesn't need saving - least of all by Damian Cole, the billionaire who runs his empire the same way he ran their one reckless night together: like he already knew how it would end. She walked away before dawn. She didn't leave a number. She told herself that was the smart thing to do. Three months later, two blue lines change everything. Elena decides she'll do this alone - the way she's done everything alone. No calls, no announcements, no billionaire showing up to "fix" her life like it's a hostile takeover. But secrets have a way of finding the one person you buried them from, and when Damian finds out - not from her, but from a mistake that wasn't supposed to happen - he doesn't ask. He arrives. Now Elena is trapped between a man who's never lost a negotiation in his life and a truth she's not ready to hand him: this isn't just his child. And the closer he gets, the more she realizes the night she's spent three months trying to forget might be the only thing about him that was ever real. Because Damian Cole doesn't just want the baby. He wants her. All of her. And he's not walking away this time - even if the secret she's still hiding could burn down everything he's building to keep her. ---”
