Claimed By My Ex Boyfriend's Dad

95% of the book has explicit contents, discretion advised.

I loved Liam Stonovich for three years. He was my first, my last, my everything.

When I heard he was going to propose, my heart soared. I went to his place, brimming with hope—only to have it all ripped apart.

Liam was in the shower. With his ex.

And the ring I thought was meant for me?

It was on her finger.

I wasn’t his forever. I was his rebound.

Shattered, I headed to the most elite sex club in L.A., just to have fun and forget about my heartbreak.

That’s where I met him—Shark, a.k.a. Michael Stone. A man whose presence alone screamed danger and sèx on legs.

I gave him a lap dance, thinking it would be nothing more than a one-night fling. But I became his obsession, and he, my wet dreams.

Then I learned the truth. Shark is Liam’s father.

I thought it was all going to end there, but the enemies attacked, and secrets unfurled, revealing who I truly am.

Now caught in the web of the most dangerous men in the underworld, who’s going to save me?

Proposal

Laura.

My phone pings with a text beside my desktop, and I quickly halt typing, pick it up, and read.

“Girl, I think your boyfriend’s about to propose to you today! Congratulations!”

A startled gasp sneaks out of my mouth. The phone falls from my grip, drawing the attention of my co-workers, Martin and Gray.

They give me a weird look, and I chuckle half-heartedly.

“Are you okay, Laura?” They chorus.

“Oh, yeah. I’m fine. Totally,” I grin and cut my gaze away from them.

I can’t believe what I just read! Liam is proposing today? Oh my god!

My boyfriend has finally decided to seal our love forever.

I pick my phone back up and reread the text from Tessa, my cousin’s friend who works in the jewelry store a few meters away from Liam’s house.

And yep, she’s sent a picture for proof.

I look at the ring, glinting off the sunlight, and spot a bright smile tipping up my lips.

Another text comes in.

“And it’s a ten-carat diamond ring, Laura! I’m so happy for you!”

I stop to breathe completely, blinking away the tears that are welling up in my eyes.

It’s really going to happen! My boyfriend of three years is about to propose.

Liam is the only guy I’ve ever been with, and that’s because he swept me off my feet the first time we met in a café. He literally narrated all the scenes in Romeo and Juliet! So apt.

Maisie used to say men in this century don’t love the way I want to be loved — simple, thoughtful, and polite.

But then I met Liam.

When Maisie met him, she blatantly told me the relationship wouldn’t last, but Liam and I waxed stronger for three years, and now he’s about to propose.

The way he talks to me
