Claimed by the Billionaire 1: Seduction: Claimed by the Billionaire, #1

By Danielle Jamesen

Serena Warden was had everything – a husband, heir to a successful real estate company and happiness.  But when the economy crashed, she lost it all.  With her husband’s death, Serena finds herself crafting out a new life for her and her son and earning her fortune back from scratch.

Serena never expects to get a job as a secretary for billionaire Bradley Gable and expects even less to find herself slowly become attracted to him.  She feels a connection to him that she can’t explain and one she hasn’t felt in years.  She wonders if he feels it too and if the two of them are going down a path of no return.
