One mistake could cost him everything
Branded a cheater and breaker of hearts, Sebastian Collins’ glittering career as a pro-tennis player is almost over – thanks to an ex-fiancé set on revenge. His jet set lifestyle is cut short when his manager insists he return to London and salvage what’s left of his reputation.
Scandal is a shadow she can’t outrun
Being the disappointing daughter of a respected and powerful Earl has left Alicia Simpson broken in more ways than one. But she’s determined to change – whatever the cost. Not even her new client, the sexy bad boy tennis player, can hold her back. At least that’s what she thinks until she gets to know the man beneath the charm & her own life is turned upside down.
Payback is brutal
Neither anticipate the bitterness of a  woman scorned, or how ruthless a father can be when he will stop at nothing to make sure his family name remains untarnished – even if that means destroying the people he’s supposed to love.

BLACKMAILED BY THE BILLIONAIRE
To the world, Harry Styles is untouchable-a billionaire playboy whose charm, wealth, and good looks make him the man everyone wants but no one can have. Arrogant and demanding, he lives in a world of excess, and his assistant Bella is the one holding it all together. But to Bella, Harry is a storm she's forced to weather-his ego as massive as his empire and his control over her life absolute. The breaking point comes when Bella, overwhelmed and desperate for freedom, attempts to resign. Her bid for escape is crushed by Harry's ruthless maneuver: a threat to expose a secret that could devastate her family and imprison her father. Trapped by the weight of potential scandal, Bella is left with no choice but to agree to his terms-one more year in his service. A year of late nights, impossible demands, and a boss who seems to delight in making her life miserable. But things take a darker turn when Harry's pride and arrogance lead to a high-stakes bet with his inner circle. Ben, a shrewd observer of human nature, notices that Bella seems immune to Harry's legendary charm and wealth. Doubting Harry's claim that no one is beyond his reach, Ben challenges him to seduce Bella-an impossible conquest. Harry, with his signature sardonic grin, makes a bold declaration: "Believe me, if I set my sights on Bella, she'd be interested. Everyone has a price, every heart has a key. I simply haven't bothered to look for hers." The terms are simple: if Harry succeeds in breaking through Bella's defenses and winning her over, he secures a lucrative investment and solidifies his dominance. If he fails, he risks losing a substantial share of his empire-a loss Harry refuses to consider. What starts as a calculated game of seduction soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Harry works to unravel Bella, he begins to question whether he's the one being unraveled. And for Bella, resisting Harry's relentless pursuit means guarding not just her heart, but everything she holds dear.Complete
