Falling, Falling, and Fallen

Ahanaa Rose

His cold eyes raked my body, and I hated the tremble that went down my spine.

“Of course, I remember you,” he said, his lip curling. “I never forget a good fuck.”

Anger surged through me, and I cocked back my hand for a slap, but he caught it easily.

He smirked, thinking he’d won. But he’d forgotten about my other hand…

Which I curled into a fist. And fired into his face.

Four years ago, Lina shared a passionate night with her boss, the elusive billionaire Aaron Blackwood. But then he disappeared, leaving her to deal with the fallout. So when they meet again at a fancy gala, tempers run high. But what will he do when he discovers the two little secrets Lina kept from him all these years?
