The Billionaire's Secret Son

by Octavia Love

She erased him from her memory. He never forgot her for a second. Naomi thought she could outrun her past when she returned to Capital City with three-year-old Lucas, desperate for a fresh start. Landing a job at the prestigious Blackstone Enterprises felt like a miracle — until she met her new boss. Nelson Blackstone is everything she expected: powerful, ruthless, devastatingly handsome. What she didn't expect was the way he looked at her son. Or the way Lucas ran straight into his arms, crying "Daddy!" like he'd been waiting his whole life for this moment. While Naomi scrambles to explain away her son's impossible recognition, Nelson's dark eyes hold secrets that make her blood run cold. He remembers everything — their explosive night together, the way she whispered his name, the fire that consumed them both. The only problem? Naomi remembers none of it. Now she's trapped in his world, working under his intense gaze while he circles her like a predator who's found his prey. Every stolen glance, every "accidental" touch, every moment alone together pulls her deeper into a web of desire and deception she can't escape. But Nelson isn't just after her body this time. He wants his son. He wants his family. And he'll use every weapon in his considerable arsenal — including the undeniable chemistry still burning between them — to claim what he believes is his. Some secrets are worth forgetting. Others will destroy you when they surface. What happens when the past you can't remember holds the key to everything you could lose?
