The Billionaire's Secret Baby (Rich & Reckless #1)

The Billionaire’s Secret Baby
Rich & Reckless Book 1
A Contemporary Billionaire Romance by Paul Michael

When Ella Martinez walked into Café Luna that rainy autumn afternoon, the last thing she expected was to come face-to-face with Leo Bennett—the man who broke her heart and doesn’t know he fathered her child.

Four years ago, they had it passion, ambition, and a shared dream of building something meaningful. But when Leo’s wealthy family deemed Ella unworthy, he chose ambition over love—and left without knowing she was pregnant. Now a dedicated preschool teacher and single mom, Ella is doing everything she can to build a good life for her son. The only thing missing? The truth.

Leo Bennett is a billionaire tech mogul with everything money can buy—except closure. When a business expansion brings him back into Ella’s orbit, he’s unprepared for the emotional storm she reignites—and completely blindsided when he meets a little boy with his eyes.

As professional collaboration reignites old feelings, secrets unravel, and past wounds resurface, Ella and Leo must navigate a world of fake engagements, real emotions, and second chances. But can love survive when trust has been broken and a child’s future is on the line?
