Only Ever His by Winter Sloane

Falling for him wasn’t part of the plan neither was her past coming back to haunt her.

Tori Blake has worked hard to rebuild her life after leaving a toxic relationship. As the owner of a charming boutique in her small town, she’s determined to prove she doesn’t need anyone to thrive—not even the gorgeous billionaire who’s swept her off her feet. Cole Valen might be the epitome of control and power, but Tori’s past has taught her to guard her independence fiercely.
Cole Valen didn’t expect to fall so hard for Tori. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met—fierce, passionate, and unwilling to be intimidated by his wealth or reputation. But as much as Cole craves her, he can sense the shadows she hides behind her brave smile. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect her, even when she insists she doesn’t need saving.
When Tori’s ex resurfaces, his manipulation and obsession threaten the fragile trust she’s built with Cole. Determined to stake his claim on her, her ex isn’t afraid to cross dangerous lines. Cole won’t stand by and watch the woman he loves be hurt—but Tori isn’t sure she can let someone else fight her battles for her.
As the tension escalates, so does the passion between them. But can their growing love survive the secrets, threats, and fears threatening to tear them apart?

Fans of protective billionaires, emotionally charged romances, and swoon-worthy slow-burn passion will devour Only Ever His.
