A Mercy and Eli Sequel

"I want to go back to the hotel," she said, unable to handle the tension.
"No."
That was it. An unyielding no and he was back staring at his menu.
She glanced toward the exit wondering how fast she could run before he caught up with her.
"Don't even think about it. I have two men waiting by the car outside and one waiting inside the restaurant just around the corner," he warned.
Mercy deflated and reached for water. "I forgot about all of that."
Eli arched an eyebrow. "All of what?"
"The influence. Power. Whatever you want to call it," she muttered and watched as he poured champagne into their glasses.  She pushed hers away.

🏵️🏵️🏵️

Five years after vanishing without a trace, Mercy Rosin has rebuilt her life far from the pain she left behind. Now a brilliant software engineer, she's assigned to a high-stakes cybersecurity case in the one place she swore never to return-San Jenario City.

Eli Vaun is a powerful hotel magnate trapped in an engagement arranged for legacy, not love. He buried the heartbreak Mercy caused him long ago... until she walks back into his life-unexpected, uninvited, and completely unaware that she's just stepped into his world.

What begins as a professional assignment spirals into a collision of secrets, power plays, and a love neither of them could forget. But with a possessive fiancée, a dangerous family legacy, and the weight of past betrayals between them, Mercy and Eli must decide:
Will they rise from the ashes of what was...
Or burn all over again?

PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart. My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.

"How could you?" Sofia looked at her husband Hector. "You are overreacting. It's just above you." "I am telling you that a man was... inappropriate to me...he said he wanted to..." Sofia's voice was shaking. "We are all adults here. He has taken a liking to you. Consider yourself lucky. You have no idea where this man can get us. To where this connection can get us..." "I am your wife." Sofia scoffed. "And, I am consenting to this." Hector cut her off. "Hector, don't!" Sofia tried to shut him up, but Hector continued. "It doesn't change anything. Make him happy. He won't be wanting it all the time. He had hundreds of women for him. This will all be over in a month or two. But you can be good friends in the future, and he can be kind to you. And, us! Think where his connections can get us." At first, if Antonio's behavior in the past seemed a problem, now adding her husband's ideas about all this worried Sofia more. It seems the very man she expected to protect her from a predator was ready to throw her to that animal. Sofia recalled how Antonio had always tried to be a gentleman. But there was nothing gentle about his intentions. Only his eyes and direct approach with his words were enough to tell Sofia about it. She could still recall the day when he had told her. "You will warm my bed one day. And, your husband will drive you here that day." At that time, she slapped him, but now it seems he had won. Sofia gulped, looking at Hector. Her Hector couldn't be this blind. It wasn't that simple. She could tell that Antonio had spent a great deal of time brainwashing her husband. Sofia rubbed her cheeks and told her husband off while walking away. "This isn't happening. Not today. Not ever." Sofia accepts a gift card from her neighbor for a spa day. The most mundane day gets her in the way of an obsessive trillionaire, who has only one agenda. If you can't have it, ruin it.
