Three years ago, Layla Worthington escaped a life of luxury-and a husband who nearly killed her. Dean Worthington, handsome billionaire CEO, is charming to the world... but cruel and controlling behind closed doors. After one violent night left Layla on the brink of death, she ran, determined never to let him find her again.

Consumed by obsession and regret, he's tracked her down, determined to reclaim what he believes is his, no matter the cost. CONTENT WARNING: This story features a deliberately soft submissive - leaning female lead. She is not your typical "strong, independent heroine." The male lead has a history of cheating and physically abusing her and the plot follows his attempt to win her back. This is the typical romance with some familiar tropes, so if redemption arcs, flawed male leads, and trope-heavy stories aren't your thing, this book is not for you. Thanks!Complete

Cheating With The Billionaire (Excerpt)
Cheating With The Billionaire | Previously Titled HER NEW DADDY . . . The man that I'm falling for is a man that I shouldn't want. The odds are stacked against us, and I shouldn't get involved with the arrogant bastard. I shouldn't want to submit to him. And I definitely shouldn't fantasize how it would feel to be taken to bed by him, the obnoxiously handsome and notorious billionaire, Kaden Matthews. Why shouldn't I? Because he's several years older than me and is a very dangerous man. In and outside of the office, trouble follows the ruthless CEO wherever he goes. But the most important reason why I absolutely cannot succumb to Kaden Matthews is because he recently got married to Evangeline Knight, my mother. Complicated doesn't even begin to describe my life at the moment. . . . Author's Note: This book is an excerpt only. The full version can be read on Ream or Ínkitt. Copyright © 2022, Amy N. Johnson.
