THE LOVE I NEVER EXPECTED

agosutoluwani Romance

She built an empire to protect her heart. He's the one man who could make her risk it all.
Prudence Smith isn't just the CEO of Provida Emporium, a global beauty empire; she is its carefully crafted image, powerful, impeccable, and utterly untouchable. Since a devastating heartbreak in her school years, Prudence has sworn off real love. She built a fortress around her heart, dating only men she can control and financially outmatch, ensuring she can never be hurt again.
Her strategy is flawless, until she meets Justin Steele.
Justin is everything she's taught herself to avoid: devastatingly charismatic, intellectually her equal, and possessing a fortune that rivals her own. He represents a threat to the emotional walls she has spent a lifetime constructing. Her mind screams danger, but her heart yearns for the connection she's denied herself for so long.
Despite her best efforts to push him away, Justin sees through the icy CEO to the wounded woman beneath. He isn't intimidated by her success or her defenses; he's challenged by them. He loves her with a patience and passion that unravels her resolve thread by thread.
Now, Prudence faces her greatest fear. Can she lower the shields that have kept her safe for so long and trust the one man who has the power to destroy her? Or will she let the love she never expected slip through her fingers forever?
