The Billionaire's Secret Heir, His Greatest Regret
The Billionaire's Secret Heir, His Greatest Regret
“Five years ago, Elena Hart gave her heart to a stranger who called himself Daniel. One unforgettable night. One devastating betrayal. And one secret he never knew existed. Now Elena has returned to New York with a new surname, a successful career, and a four-year-old son whose father is the last man she ever wants to see again. But fate has other plans. Her newest client is Alexander Blackwood-the ruthless billionaire who destroyed her trust and vanished when her world fell apart. Alexander recognises her instantly. What he doesn't recognise is the little boy with his eyes. When the truth finally comes out, Alexander is determined to become the father his son deserves. But Elena has spent five years learning that love can be dangerous, and forgiveness cannot be purchased. As a buried betrayal threatens to destroy everything they have rebuilt, Alexander must choose between protecting his empire and confronting the truth that cost him the only woman he ever loved. He lost her once because he believed a lie. This time, winning her back will cost him everything he once believed mattered.”
