The CEO’s Sweetheart Deal by Layla Valentine

They built a dream together.

Now he owns it—and she’s the only thing he can’t control.

HIM

I didn’t plan to see her again.

Not in the boardroom.

Not across the table, fire in her eyes, calling me out in front of my own team.

Alice Mackie was the one person I couldn’t buy, couldn’t fix, couldn’t forget.

Now I own the company she built, and every decision I make drags her back into my orbit.

And I suddenly remember how she makes me want more than money…

HER

Oscar Glynn just became my boss.

The same man who left without a word when I needed him most.

Now he’s calling the shots at the company I built from scratch,

and acting like he can save it… or me.

But I’ve fought too hard to hand over my dream.

And when a “business trip” forces us into the same flight, the same hotel,

and the same dangerous spark that never really died…

I have to decide what’s worth more: the company I built…

or the man who still knows how to break my heart.
