Dangerous Escape

She fled a nightmare only to find it tied to his legacy. Molly has spent her career helping other women escape from dangerous men only to end up with one herself—so when she flees with her 11-month-old bairn, the shame hits almost as hard as the fear. Cut off from the friends who once made her brave, she knows reaching out would only leave a trail for him to follow. She’s hiding in plain sight, praying Glasgow is loud enough to swallow her up…until a newly rich stranger notices the bruises she tried to cover. Leo Buchanan never asked for his dead biological father’s money—or the multi-billion pound security business that comes with it. Raised poor by a mother who paid for every hardship, Leo doesn’t trust wealth, legacies, or the kind of men who collect power. But one look at Molly—exhausted, cornered, clinging to her baby—snaps something into place. Then he learns the truth: Molly’s abuser is Johnny E., his father’s right hand man who never fails to rub Leo the wrong way. Molly has fought too long to become someone’s victim again—and Leo can’t pretend she’s just another problem to solve. As Johnny hunts for what he believes belongs to him, Leo will have to decide what kind of man his inheritance makes him—while Molly reclaims a power no contract, fortune, or fist can own.
