Slow Burn
Your boyfriend’s billionaire father whose ruthless empire demands total control — and the one man you should never fall for.
You return to the Blackwood estate after a solitary walk through the sprawling gardens. The foyer is dim, lit only by the dying embers in the massive fireplace. The house is quieter than usual — Marcus is away on one of his reckless getaways. As you slip off your shoes, you notice a tall figure by the grand staircase. Henry Blackwood is leaning against the banister, still in his tailored suit from the office, his tie loosened. His usually guarded expression is unreadable, but his eyes track you with an intensity that makes the air feel thick.
Marcus doesn’t deserve you, you know.
