The King of Scandal

From the national bestselling author of August Lane comes an emotional romance about a single mother  who unexpectedly inherits a stake in her ex-fiance’s billion-dollar company, forcing her to take a risk on a second chance with her first love.

The last time Joe Vasquez proposed to Mia Williams, she broke his heart and married someone else. More than a decade later, he makes a different proposal. One she never saw coming. 

Joe was groomed from birth to become the CEO of Vasquez Industries. When his cousin puts himself in the running for the position, Joe finds himself in a fight he isn’t prepared for. He has three months to take control of the company. The only person who can help him do it is the woman he swore never to trust again. 

Mia doesn’t know why Joe’s late father, a man she despised, left her shares of his billion-dollar corporation. Being pulled into Joe’s family’s ruthless corporate games is the last thing Mia wants, but she’s also a recently unemployed single mother struggling to pay her bills. Joe’s calculated offer to change her life is one she can’t afford to refuse. 

The deal they make is simple. The unresolved feelings it ignites are more complicated. Joe and Mia’s future depends on digging through their past, but facing the truth about their breakup, their feuding families’ history, and the cost of building an empire could tear them apart for good.
