THE STOLEN BRIDE (BAD BOYS SERIES)

Once upon a time, Eve Rizzo took a drastic measure to escape an unwanted marriage. She made a bold decision to become pregnant by a stranger, hoping it would deter any future suitors. Little did she know, this led her to cross paths with the captivating Lucas Levin, a man whose beauty seemed almost sinful. Unfortunately, Eve discovered Lucas to be highly possessive. After a passionate night together, he revealed plans to keep her by his side permanently. Determined to break free, Eve made the mistake of falsely accusing him of a crime he didn't commit, hoping to get rid of him. Fast forward five years, Eve returned to the city with a rumored illegitimate child and an impending engagement to Morris Heirta. Just when she thought she had moved on, Lucas reappeared, wrapping his arms around her waist with a sense of familiar possessiveness. He introduced himself as Lucas Levin Heirta, now a powerful and wealthy man, not just a rogue figure from their past. Lucas, it turned out, was Morris's uncle and the heir to the Heirta Chairman's position. To make matters worse, he had set his sights on snatching his nephew's bride. Lowering his voice to a seductive whisper, Lucas vowed, "This time, Eve, you won't escape so easily. I'll ensure you're bound to me – and only me." Eve couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine at Lucas's determined declaration.
