The CEO's Disguised Runaway Lover

Landslide Modern

“Dulce Long went to the Grand Regency expecting a proposal-and her first night with the man she loved. Instead, someone lured her into Suite 808. Inside the dark penthouse, a powerful stranger was burning with fever, drugged out of his mind, and convinced Dulce had been sent by his enemies. Before she could escape, he pinned her to the bed and took the one thing she had only intended to give her boyfriend, Kai. Hours later, Dulce stumbled barefoot into the rain. Then Kai called. "Never trust... Justice." Before Dulce could reach him, Kai fell from the roof of a thirty-story building and died in her arms. His wealthy mother blamed Dulce for his death, had her beaten in front of the press, and threw her into the flooded streets like trash. Six weeks later, Dulce discovered she was pregnant-with twins conceived in Suite 808. Because of severe uterine scarring and a critically low ovarian reserve, the twins might be her only chance to become a mother. Terrified of the powerful Justice family and the unknown man who had destroyed her life, Dulce fled the country. Nearly seven years later, she returns to New York with two genius sons and one purpose: uncover the truth about Kai's murder. Her first target is Justice Enterprise, the corporate empire that swallowed Kai's firm after his death. Hiding her beauty beneath sallow makeup, a frizzy wig, and thick glasses, Dulce becomes the CEO's personal assistant. There is only one problem. Her new boss is Brendon Justice-the man from Suite 808. Brendon has spent years searching for the mysterious woman who vanished from his bed. Dulce believes her disguise will keep her safe, but one accidental encounter is all it takes for him to recognize her. She is hunting the man who killed Kai. Brendon is hunting the woman who escaped him. And neither of them is prepared for the two six-year-old boys carrying the Justice bloodline.”
