Her Smoldering Billionaire: A Steamy Instalove Romance (Tycoons of Pleasure Valley Book 2)
About
Steamy billionaire instalove romance with a watchful cybersecurity CEO—A controlled introvert hiding behind earbuds and water bottles at a rooftop happy hour meets the billionaire who crossed a crowded party to stand in her quiet corner, wrapped in smoldering tension, stillness-as-intimacy, and the devastating discovery that the silence she’d been protecting was just loneliness wearing a better name. This scorching billionaire romance blends two-watchers chemistry, walls-coming-down vulnerability, law-library heat, and the kind of love that doesn’t knock—it just stands in your corner and waits for you to take out the earbuds.
She went to the party to survive twenty minutes. She stayed because of him.
SEBASTIAN
A former co-founder spent a year stealing credit for my work. Let a lie smolder until it caught fire. Now I’m in litigation, surrounded by people who play angles for a living, and I haven’t trusted anyone in eighteen months.
Then Beckett dragged me to a rooftop happy hour and left me standing there like an idiot with a drink and no one to talk to.
I found her behind the planters. Back to the wall. Sightlines to every entrance. Invisible from three directions. A bottle of water in her hand while everyone else drank wine. Earbuds around her neck like a fence she’d just barely taken down.
She told me her name. Told me her firm represents me. Told me the truth without calculating what it would get her, and I can’t remember the last time that happened.
Margeaux Lane doesn’t do anything accidentally. She doesn’t drink. She doesn’t make small talk. She showed up to a party in work clothes and found the one spot on the roof where no one could see her, and I walked straight to it because she’d found the only defensible position and I wanted in.
She planned to stay twenty minutes. She stayed forty-five.
I went back. To her building. To her coffee shop. To her floor. Five floors in the wrong direction because I needed to see her again. She called me on every excuse I made and said yes anyway.
She has walls. I understand walls. Mine are built from betrayal. Hers are built from something quieter—a childhood that went from still to chaos overnight, and nine years of teaching herself that control is the only safe place to live.
I have a house with two empty rooms. Children’s murals on the walls. She looked at them and I watched the panic cross her face—the future she wanted and the noise she was afraid of, hitting her at the same time.
She didn’t leave. She put her hands on my chest and stayed.
That’s who she is. She doesn’t do anything accidentally. Including choosing me.
