Billionaire's Guarded Passion

A Small Town Billionaire Romance

By: Whitney Wayne

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I buried my wife.
I buried my heart.
Then Melody Dexter walked in—
Young, wild, and far too easy to crave.

I'm a billionaire CEO, back in my hometown to recover.
She's the art teacher I hired for my daughter.
Twenty-two years younger.
Sassy, confident, completely unpredictable.

I didn't want a distraction.
I didn't want to feel.
But that mouth...
That laugh...
That fire in her eyes—
She lit something I thought was dead.

I told myself I didn't want her.
But I did.
Every curve. Every word.
Every time she pushed back, I wanted to pull her closer.

One night, I lost control.
One night, I let myself need.
And then I did what I always do—
Shut down. Locked up.
Ran.

She deserves softness.
All I know is how to burn.

I built walls to survive.
But if I don’t break them for her...
I'll lose the only thing that's made me feel alive in years.
