THE WOMAN WHO TAUGHT HIM TO STAY

“He had everything money could buy. Except the one woman he couldn't control. Nathaniel Ashford was a billionaire who never lost a negotiation, never tolerated disobedience, and never allowed emotions to interfere with business. Love, to him, was simply another risk best avoided. Until Isabelle Rowan walked into his boardroom, challenged his decisions, and walked away from the job he had offered her. Desperate to save his family's prestigious seaside hotel, Nathaniel offers Isabelle a ninety-day contract. But she has one condition: he can be her employer, never her owner. What begins as a battle of stubborn wills soon becomes an irresistible attraction. Behind Nathaniel's cold exterior is a man terrified of being vulnerable, while Isabelle discovers that the billionaire who seems to have everything is secretly afraid of being left behind. But just when Isabelle finally gives him her heart, a buried family secret threatens to destroy everything. Her father's painful past is connected to the Ashford empire. And Nathaniel knew more than he ever admitted. Now the man who once promised her a future must face the truth that could cost him her love forever. Will Nathaniel finally learn that love cannot be bought, controlled, or demanded? Or will the woman who taught him how to love become the one who teaches him what it means to lose? He was a man who never knew how to stay. She was the woman who made him want to.”
