Thirteen years ago, Jonathan Pine was living a half life. Working as the night manager of the Nefertiti Luxury Hotel in Cairo after having climbed his way up the ladder. Thirteen years ago, his life was turned upside down when a woman he had come to respect and care for was murdered after he failed to protect her. It took five and a half years for him to right that wrong, to take revenge and now he's living a peaceful life in the country. Or at least that's what he'd like everyone to think.
Since his acquittal in 2020, four years after helping to put an end to Richard Roper's schemes, Jonathan has been living with Jed Marshall under the assumed names of Michael and Theresa Roberts, along with Jed's ten-year-old son, Billy. Everything looks picturesque from the home they keep to the life they lead. Nothing is ever as it seems though and the cracks begin to show making way for fissures to begin to form as Jonathan learns of an opportunity to help an old friend.
When a US intelligence officer goes missing while undercover, Joel Steadman can think of only one team to call upon for guidance. Beginning their own investigation into the shady dealings of Jasper Edwin's Revival House, an addiction rehabilitation facility in the middle of the Caribbean, Jonathan and Angela uncover more than just the disappearance of a fellow officer. Can they help Joel gather enough evidence to prove Jasper Edwin's lack of innocence, or will they be the next to disappear?

Billionaire's Desire: A Stangers-to-lovers Romance| 18+|
"I think we should stick to a professional relationship, clearly this friendship isn't doing us good." "I don't think I can do that." We were in a crowded room but his soft words never failed to reach me. "Why not?" His hands clenched at his side almost like he wanted to touch me but he held himself back clenching his jaw, his eyes never leaving mine. "Because not once did I ever see you as a friend Ellanore." "You said all you wanted was my time- what about that does not insinuate a friendship?" I questioned him. "If I clarify what I meant then it will all be over." His Adams Apple bobbed as he swallowed. "Not talking to you for 4 days was torturous as is, I don't think I can do forever." There it was, that tickle in my chest. That uncomfortable and suffocating feeling that honestly scares me more than it should. I lower my gaze because one more second of me staring into those eyes might lead me to make even more mistakes than I already have. "I'm sorry for putting you through that, Alecsandr." "If you're sorry-" He took another step closer, almost scaring my feet to retreat to safer grounds. "Then stop avoiding me Ella." ------------------------------------------------------------ Ellanore Presley has her sights set on making Partner at Dane's & Partners and claiming her rightful place at her family's table. But when her client, the enigmatic and irresistibly charming Alecsandar Balenski, keeps inventing reasons to be in her presence, she finds herself in a battle of will, torn between professional ethics and the captivating pull of his intense gazes.
