The Billionaire who bought her Company
The Billionaire who bought her Company
“Ten years ago, Damien Cross disappeared without a word, leaving Maya Sterling with a broken heart and a promise never to forgive him. Now he's back-and he's bought seventy-two percent of her struggling fashion company. Damien is no longer the man she remembers. He's a ruthless billionaire, her new boss, and the last man she ever wanted to see again. Maya hates him. Damien still loves her. And the attraction between them never died. But Damien didn't buy Sterling & Rowe for profit. Someone is sabotaging the company, watching Maya, and digging into secrets buried within her family. Damien knows more than he's telling her. As danger closes in, Maya must decide whether to trust the man who broke her heart-or risk discovering too late that he was the only person who ever tried to protect it. He bought her company. She may be the one thing he can never afford to lose.”
