Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon
“Isabella's world shatters when her longtime boyfriend, Damon Sanchez, publicly proposes to her best friend. Humiliated and heartbroken, she drowns her sorrows in a bar-only to wake up on the bed of Matteo Moretti, the city's most powerful billionaire. Their one-night stand should have been the end of it. But when her brother Alan's illness and Damon's vengeance leave her jobless, fate delivers Isabella straight into the jaws of her most dangerous mistake-Matteo Moretti, now her ruthless new boss. Caught between Damon's vindictive games and Moretti's dangerous allure, Isabella must decide-is survival worth the cost of her heart? Especially when Matteo's seven-year-old son, Noah, starts calling her "Mom."”
