Claimed by the Grumpy Billionaire: An Off Limits Enemies to Lovers Romance
Lexi Lau
I never meant to fall for Cole Maddox.
He’s Bliss Harbor’s broodiest billionaire—intimidating, infuriating, and absolutely off-limits.
Especially since he’s my ex-fiancé’s brother… and now my landlord.
Our first collision was literal. My orchids in the street. His SUV slamming the brakes. My heart? Not part of the plan.
We argued. We flirted.
Then he kissed me like he hated how much he needed me.
Somewhere between the late-night rescues, the stolen glances, and his daughter calling me “her favorite,” I stopped fighting it.
He’s more than the cold alpha everyone fears—he’s the one man who sees through my smile.
And he’d burn down the whole damn town to protect me.
But now I’m pregnant.
And the secret I’m keeping could destroy everything—his family, his legacy… and the future we almost had.
If Bliss Harbor finds out what we’ve done, I’ll be the villain who ruined the Maddox family.
And if Cole chooses me anyway… he might lose the empire he built trying to protect me.
