“One night that freed her from the past. One night that gave him a future.”

Bound and Bitter is a billionaire boss romance featuring a one-night stand and a broken hero who never expected to fall in love. Grace Hamel’s one-night stand didn’t just mark the end of a failed marriage, it was the first step towards a fresh start in a new city, a new job and a billionaire boss who looks very familiar. Fate should have been on their side, but Duke Moncrief has been hiding more than just his identity.

Grace:
It was one reckless act to free me from the past. A one-night stand that was meant to be both a beginning and an end, spent with a stranger who made me feel safe enough to let go and strong enough to demand more.

For twenty-four hours, he was mine. And then he was gone.

We made no plans to meet again, agreeing to leave it to fate. But when an opportunity leads me to Chicago, I tell myself I’m chasing a fresh start, not the man who ruined me for anyone else. After a year of living off a fantasy, I’m not prepared for the harsh reality of his true identity.

Duke Moncrief is a billionaire heir.
My new boss.
And he’s newly bound to a woman who looks at me like I’ve already crossed a line.

He tells me their relationship is fake.
But I’ve been lied to before and I won’t become the other woman.
I should walk away.
I try to walk away.
But as I’m pulled deeper into a world where power courts danger and alliances come with consequences, I realize Duke isn’t as strong as his powerful frame suggests.

Our night together wasn’t just unforgettable.
It mattered. More than he’s willing to admit.
And walking away from Duke Moncrief isn’t just about protecting my heart anymore. It’s about protecting a man who might not survive losing me twice.
