Blackmail to White Veil: A Billionaire Enemies to Lovers Romance

When Annie Langley walks into Theo Leonidas's sleek Manhattan office, she's desperate enough to beg — but she never expects him to smile like he's been waiting for this exact moment.

Annie has spent years building a careful distance from her first love, the man her father deemed unworthy and she was too cowardly to fight for. Now, with the Langley family business hemorrhaging money and creditors circling, Theo is her last resort. He's no longer the ambitious young man she once loved. He's a cold, ruthless billionaire with a very long memory and an ax to grind.

His terms are brutally simple: he'll save the company, but Annie must become his wife.

What follows is a high-stakes battle of wills wrapped in silk sheets and signed contracts. Their forced marriage arrangement crackles with the kind of tension only history can create — old wounds reopened, old desires refusing to stay buried. Theo tells himself this is justice. Annie tells herself she feels nothing. Neither of them is particularly convincing.

In this scorching dark romance, Clare Connelly masterfully layers corporate power plays with raw, undeniable chemistry, crafting a story where the line between punishment and passion dissolves with every stolen glance and pointed silence. Annie thought she knew exactly who Theo Leonidas had become.

She was dangerously wrong — and discovering the truth might cost her far more than her family name.
