These Reckless Vows: The Billoniare’s Bride
🔞 Spicy 🔞“You're a long way from safe, Miss Allard,” he whispers, his fingers tracing the strap of my bra until I shiver. "If you want to turn around, I’d suggest you do so now.”
I stare up at him, watching as his dilated grey eyes dip to my cleavage.
“Where will I go, Mr. Sinclair?” I dare to ask, “Where can I go that you won’t find me?”
****
24 year old Ava Jade Allard has a few problems, but like most issues, there’s nothing a little money can't fix. So when Ava attends an art show to sell a few of her paintings to some of the richest, high-society members of New York, she’s sure she can kill two birds with one very rich stone.
In and out, just like she hoped.
But New York seems set on eating Ava whole, and as one mess leads to another, she finds herself in the arms of Billionaire Leonel Sinclair, a ruthless CEO who is still dealing with the consequences of a scandal he was entangled in 4 years ago.
Now more desperate than when she started, Ava reluctantly turns to this stone-cold, terrifying, but somehow insanely hot Billionaire to help her set right what was wronged 4 years ago, while somehow doing the same for him, and with one contract marriage, Ava signs away her single status, anonymity and possibly her soul.
Will this contract fix the manytraumatic wrongs of her past, or will Ava crumble under the weight of her grey-eyed, stoic CEO, whom she seems less and less able to keep her body and heart away from with each passing day?
What happens when Ava agrees to these reckless vows and emerges as the Billionaire’s Bride?

Chapter: BOOK TWO TEASER: These Fighting Desires16 Years Later Valentina Sinclair ~~~~ “I thought my parents loved me.” Willow and I lay shoulder-to-shoulder, simmering in our shared annoyance. “Same.” She responds, tilting her head to stare at me, “Do you think if I beg Aunt Ava enough she’d stop this from happening?” I scrunch my nose, thinking of what mum would say if Willow talked to her. “Willow, angel, this is such an amazing family tradition.” I mock my mum’s enthusiastic voice. Willow giggles, “And then uncle Leonel will join in, cause he’s always on aunt Ava’s side.” I lower my voice to try to get Dad’s deep tone. “Your mother wants the best for you, mi mundo, and so do I.” Willow covers her face with her red-gel fingers, her shoulders shaking from laughter. “Uncle Leonel will murder you if he finds out you were mocking him and your mum.” She breathes between chuckles. “Oh please. My parents would die before they ever punish me. They’re such softies.” It helps that I’m actually good. The straig

Chapter: Epilogue lllAva ~~~ Surprise, surprise, Leonel makes love to me in the car before we head to the office. I’m still coming down from the high of being eaten out when he swerves into the car park, looking at me with creased brows. “Are you okay?” He murmurs, resting one hand on my belly and the other on my cheek. These days, he’s been a little overbearing. But honestly? After Jaxon, I’ll take my overprotective husband any day. “I’m fine.” I assure him. We’re greeted at the door by my favourite receptionist, Fiona, and when she spots my small belly, I can see her mind reeling to ask if I’m pregnant or just overfed. “We’re expecting Fiona. You can ask.” Leonel’s husky voice says low enough to almost make me whimper. Fiona lights up, and I can’t help blushing as she squeals, “Oh, that’s wonderful Sinclairs! No wonder you haven’t been to the office in some time Mrs Sinclair. I’m overjoyed for you!” “Thank you, Fiona,” I say shyly, and Leonel squeezes my hand. Right then, the eleva

Chapter: Epilogue llAva ~~~ Leonel and I manage to pull ourselves out of bed, and after another fuck in the shower leaves my legs jellied, I actually consider hauling my pregnant ass back into bed. Sike. Now, my post-sex glow stares back at me from the mirror. I twist to admire my little belly in my pantsuit, loving the weight of my baby. I'm not the only one. Leonel wraps his big arms around me, soothing my stomach and whispering, “You get more beautiful every time I see you.” I scoff, “You mean I get bigger?” “Ava.” he warns, “don't do that. It's healthy weight, and you look good.” he nips my ear, “delicious even.” I stifle my moan. The last thing I want is for my sexy husband to seduce me into not going to the office. I intertwine our fingers and change the subject, “I have a feeling the baby’s a girl.” Leonel’s eyes glow, “a mini you? I'm so fucked.” I blush all the way to the dining room. Leonel insists on carrying me down the stairs, like he has every day since I showed him my

Chapter: Epilogue l3 YEARS LATER Leonel ~~~ “You’re going to be the death of me.” I grunt, sliding out of Ava just so I can push into her again. She moans, and the sound awakens every nerve in my body. “Leonel.” She whispers, still so sleepy. My favorite part of the day these days has been waking her up with my cock. But I’m careful, I have to be. I kiss her, moving my lips as gently as I’m driving into her. She whimpers that sweet noise that always almost makes me cum. “Oh fuck.” She says softly, then whines, “You can go harder.” “I don’t want to hurt you.” I grunt, even as it takes all my energy not to go rough. One bare breast peaks from beneath the covers, and I resist sucking that hardened pink nipple. She isn’t satisfied. I can tell from how she keeps arching up, telling me with her body that she needs more. I trail down her neck, hoping butterfly kisses make up for my softness. “Harder.” She pants. I kiss her nose, “No.” Frowning, she wraps her legs around my thrusti

Chapter: Sex, Suites, and Proposals (VI)Ava ~~~ The boat rocks beneath us, and a band plays their violins for Oliver and Evie take their proposal pictures. I feel good. Like, I got high for the first time good. Every time I glance to Leonel, my insides turn to jelly, and all I can imagine is him railing me again. Or… making love to me, if you feel like being poetic. “Are you okay?” He whispers, “are you… sore?” “Baby, if you ask me that fucking question one more time I might just break up with you.” He laughs, but it’s short and strained, “I just want you to be okay. I’ve never slept with a virgin before and I know the first time can be hard.” “First two times you mean.” I insist, reminding him we did it from the back right before we came here. The tips of his ears actually turn pink, “Ava, I’m serious.” I know, and that’s what’s so infuriating. How can anyone be serious at a time like this? We’re in Paris. All our threats are dead or backed off. Our friend’s are about to get engaged. Most impo

Chapter: Sex, Suites and Proposals (V)Leonel ~~~ God, I love this woman. Ava looks like an angel, curled into my chest as she snores softly. I rub my hand over her cheek, then through her hair. I don’t think I’ve told her how much I love this short look on her. Gently, I fix her bra, remembering how hungry I’d been when I yanked it down, then I peel myself away from her so I can run a shower. “No.” She protests, reaching for me, still half-asleep. I kiss her nose, chuckling, “I want to wash off.” “No,” she says again, then cracks open one beautiful green eye, “stay with me.” Well, there’s no arguing with that. I take my pants and boxers off entirely, throwing them to the ground where my t-shirt is, before snuggling under the covers with her. She sighs happily, wrapping her legs around my waist. She’s so magnificent. Everything about her makes me fall even more in love. It’s no wonder I came so fast. I can still hear her desperate moans, her passionate panting. The way she said my name, and don’t even ge

Désirer Mon Némésis Contractuel: La Fiancée du Milliardaire
« Vous êtes loin d'être en sécurité, Mademoiselle Allard », chuchote-t-il, ses doigts traçant la bretelle de mon soutien-gorge jusqu'à ce que je frissonne. « Si vous voulez faire demi-tour, je vous conseille de le faire dès maintenant. »
Je lève les yeux vers lui, regardant ses yeux gris aux pupilles dilatées plonger vers mon décolleté.
« Et où irais-je, Monsieur Sinclair ? » osé-je demander. « Où puis-je aller sans que vous ne me retrouviez ? »
À 24 ans, Ava Jade Allard accumule les ennuis. Mais comme pour la plupart des problèmes, il n'y a rien qu'un peu d'argent ne puisse régler. Alors, quand Ava se rend à une exposition d'art pour vendre quelques-unes de ses toiles à la haute société new-yorkaise, elle est certaine de pouvoir faire d'une pierre deux coups... et un coup très riche.
Entrer, vendre, et repartir. C'est tout ce qu'elle espérait.
Mais New York semble bien décidée à n'en faire qu'une bouchée. De fil en aiguille, un fiasco en entraînant un autre, elle se retrouve projetée dans les bras du milliardaire Leonel Sinclair, un PDG impitoyable qui panse encore les plaies d'un scandale survenu quatre ans plus tôt.
Plus désespérée que jamais, Ava se résigne à se tourner vers ce milliardaire glacial, terrifiant, mais affreusement sexy, pour l'aider à réparer les injustices du passé. Tout en faisant de même pour lui, elle sacrifie son célibat, son anonymat et peut-être même son âme en signant un contrat de mariage.
Ce contrat effacera-t-il les traumatismes de son passé, ou Ava finira-t-elle par se briser sous le poids de ce PDG stoïque aux yeux gris ? Un homme dont elle semble de moins en moins capable d'éloigner son corps et son cœur, les jours passant.
Que se passera-t-il lorsque Ava prononcera ces vœux imprudents pour devenir l'épouse du milliardaire ?

Chapter: Chapitre 37 : Les SentimentsAva```« C'est un miracle », nous annonce le médecin en parcourant son dossier d'un œil incrédule. « La balle a manqué la totalité de ses veines et de ses artères principales, ce qui relève pratiquement de l'impossible pour une blessure à l'estomac. Sans parler du risque que le projectile ne se fragmente dans un organe vital : le foie, les reins, les intestins. Mais la trajectoire était nette, ce qui a rendu l'extraction bien plus simple que toutes les autres options envisageables. »Oliver hausse faiblement un sourcil en direction du praticien. « Donc, ce que vous êtes en train de dire, c'est que je suis quelqu'un de spécial ? Du genre... doté d'un "charisme divinement exceptionnel" ? »Evie lui décoche son regard noir exclusif, celui qu'elle ne réserve qu'à lui, mais personne n'en loupe pour autant leurs mains fermement entrelacées.« Ça signifie que tu as eu une chance insolente, et j'espère bien que c'est la toute dernière fois que je dois verser toutes les larmes de mon corps so

Après tout, il y a des urgences bien plus graves à gérer.Comme Oliver. Blessé par balle.Oliver. S'est. Fait. Tirer.

Ses jérémiades incessantes au sujet de Nicco m'avaient donné envie de lui tenir tête ; j'ai donc décrété que je ne ferais rien s'il ne venait pas dans mon atelier. Mais au lieu de chercher la confrontation, il a capitulé et a débarqué ici, flanqué d'Evie et d'Oliver.Et il n'a pas cessé de râler depuis.« Évidemment que mes parents s'arrangeraient pour me coller ce foutu Nicco Moretti comme co-hôte », bougonne-t-il.Oliver se tourne vers lui. « Ils font ça parce qu'il est populaire, pas parce qu'ils savent que tu le détestes. »« Je ne le déteste pas », réplique Leonel beaucoup trop vite.

Chapter: Chapitre 34 : Les AdieuxAva```Le dîner se poursuit dans un silence pesant. Le seul son qui résonne dans la pièce est la voix de la mère de Leonel, qui s'efforce de pousser son fils et son mari à se parler.Chaque fois qu'elle s'adresse à Leonel, il lui répond avec douceur, mais son époux semble presque prêt à l'étriper dès qu'elle sollicite son attention. Un terrible pressentiment me souffle que les occasions où il a bien failli franchir le pas ne manquent pas.Pendant tout ce temps, je garde les yeux rivés sur mon assiette, en particulier lorsque Alexander tente tant bien que mal de m'entraîner dans la conversation, semblant étrangement ravi de me faire la causette. Chaque fois qu'il ouvre la bouche, je jurerais que la mâchoire de Leonel se contracte un peu plus et que sa main se resserre plus fermement autour de la mienne.Mais rien de tout cela n'a d'importance pour l'instant. Ce qui tourne en boucle dans ma tête, c'est un nom — celui de Nicco.Nicco Moretti et moi allons organiser cette Soirée ensemble

Pas si j'avais su qu'il se lèverait pour lui tirer une chaise juste à côté de la sienne. Pas si j'avais su que ma mère — ma mère si douce et effacée — fusillerait Ava du regard, les doigts crispés sur sa flûte de champagne déjà remplie pour la troisième fois.« Ava », dis-je d'une voix grinçante, juste avant qu'elle ne s'assoie d'un air hésitant sur la chaise que mon père vient de lui avancer. Leurs regards se tournent vers moi, mais ce sont les yeux verts et confus d'Ava que je capture dans les miens.« Assieds-toi avec moi », ordonné-je, sans laisser la moindre place à la négociation. Je vois une lueur de rébellion traverser ses pupilles, mais ce qu'elle lit dans mon regard gris la retient de répliquer.Elle décoche un sourire poli à mon père et, en retour, il arbore un sourire que d'autres qualifieraient de charmant, mais que je sais

L'effluve de son parfum à la rose vient chatouiller mes narines, me projetant instantanément dans mes souvenirs d'enfance.« Est-ce que ça va ? » lui murmuré-je à l'oreille, en veillant à ce que mon père ne nous entende pas. Sa prise autour de mes épaules se relâche avant de s'évanouir complètement. À mon grand désarroi, elle se détache de moi, ce sourire de façade qu'elle a perfectionné au fil des ans gravé sur les lèvres.« Je me porte à merveille, mon chéri ! » pépie-t-elle à voix haute. Trop haute. Je grimace, conscient qu'elle joue cette comédie pour le bénéfice de ce connard. « Pourquoi ne le serais-je pas ? »Et c'est là que je l'aperçois.

Chapter: Chapter 120: OliviaHe doesn’t deny it. All this time I thought Penwood was an open grave, or a meeting place for the dead, but it’s never been that. It’s where all my people are. I stick the knife out, urging him not to take one more fucking step closer. Nester regards it with curious eyes, “You would still kill me, after knowing I saved our people?” “My people,” I snap. “And you didn’t save anyone. You turned them into mindless animals in your bitterness. They serve you blindly.” “That may be true, Olivia. But they serve me well.” I want to scream and never stop. How could he do this to humans? The bed feels too intimate to back myself up against, yet there is nowhere else for me to go. Nester stays standing at the edge; hands folded behind his back, neck a little crooked as he waits for my next words. “So what caused you to kill my mother then?” I snarl. “She came to you, didn’t she? After you started enslaving humans?” His face goes grave again, and violent heat floods me. What right does

No matter how hard I try to release it, my hands don’t comply. “What is this?” I ask again, unable to hide the warble in my voice. Nester edges closer, the smell of death on him suddenly unbearable. “Maybe you should sit down-” I jerk away from him, toppling onto the bed. “Don’t tell me what to do.” Nester shakes his head. “That is the last thing I will ever do. You are the goddess herself to the people of Penbrook. If anything, you will soon tell them what to do.” His hand clasps my shoulder, “but first you have to listen to me.” The air thins. I struggle to gulp in the right amount of breaths to keep me standing and listening to this asshole. Me? A Goddess? How? And why to them? He gently pries the frame out of my shaky hands, his gaze hazy as he stares at the photo with a thin, reminiscing smile. “We were all so close then,” he starts wistfully, “all so young

Chapter: chapter 118: RykerIt’s like I can feel the mark tattooed into my skin. Something that I haven't noticed in however long suddenly feels hot and heavy on my body. I run my hand over it painfully, as if doing that enough times will eventually rub it off my skin. Maybe by the time the door opens I'll look down at my ankle and see there was nothing there after all. “Ryker,” Hunter says soothingly, “Calm down.” How can I calm down? I'm in the dark. I'm chained to my brothers, and apparently I've been marked by Nester. “No no no no no.” I panic, rubbing harder, faster, trying to get this evil thing off my skin.Fingers snap around my moving hand, and from the slenderness of their touch, I know it's Talon. “Rye, it's okay,” he says gently, but he must think I'm stupid not to hear the tension in his voice. “It's okay for you.” I don't keep the panic out of my tone. “You're not the one with Nester Rist’s mark on your skin.” “Rubbing it isn't going to change anything,” he tries to keep his voice steady.

He’s actually in front of me. My brain falters as it tries to think of words to say, but Axel’s low growl beats me to it. Nester doesn't even acknowledge him. “You’ll have to forgive my… methods of getting you here.” Nester raises the sack. “I didn’t know how else to have a formal meeting with you. I’d insisted Everest try to convince you to come, but I guess that was an error on my end. He isn’t always… amicable.” A million responses come to mind, but I can’t get any of them past my lips. This is the man who murdered my mother. This is the reason all the humans other than me are dead. This is my greatest enemy. My biggest threat. And he’s so… polite? “Um,” I start, finally managing to put words together. “Hello.” Nester smiles at me, a full set of white teeth gleaming in the darkness.

Chapter: Chapter 116: RykerAs Alex drives down the barren road, one thought loops in my mind: I can’t get warm. It doesn’t matter how many times she turns off the air conditioner, or how thick my jacket is, I’ve been shivering for hours. No, scratch that. I’ve been shivering for days. Since John attacked me. I try hard not to think about that fact, because if those two are connected, then it’s clear that something is very wrong, too wrong for me to handle. “Here,” Alex announces, parking the car by that damn Penwood barrier. The intimidating rock juts out of the stones, practically warning us against entry. For a second, none of us moves. I look to my pack brothers and Liana, each sporting gleaming handcuffs that match mine. They bite. Hard. Digging into my skin in a way that’s sure to leave a mark. Liana lets out a shaky breath. “No turning back now, is there?” “Nope,” the boys and I chorus. Even if there were, I’m not leaving here without Axel and my girl. “Well,” Liana starts, puffing out her ches

I turn to him, as if a sack isn’t covering my head and stopping me from seeing him, “Alex went to get them 45 minutes ago. They should be here any minute from now. Once they arrive, it’ll be easier for all of us to break out with Alex’s help.” At least, I hope that’s what’s going to happen. The longer I stay locked in here, the more I’m convinced Alex may not truly be on our side. What joined her to us? Was it really Axel, or could that just be a convenient excuse to kidnap us? I set my hands aflame just to make myself feel better. If her knife doesn’t work, I’ll light someone up and send them to hell. “These cuffs hurt like a bitch,” I bemoan, trying to take my mind off what Alex may or may not be up to. Axel just huffs in response. His chains rattle against whatever we’re tied to as he strains to set himself free. I know this isn’t the time to antagonize him, but
