The Billionaire's Leverage
(2026)(The first book in the Marigold Valley series)
A novel by Sasha Cross
I came to acquire a small-town asset… not to get dragged into a bakery, covered in flour, and ruined by a woman who tastes better than anything she sells.
I don’t do feelings.
I do leverage, contracts… and hostile takeovers.
Then I meet Mia Sullivan.
All attitude, flour-dusted curves, and a mouth that doesn’t care I could buy her entire life twice over.
She overcharges me out of spite.
I keep coming back like an idiot.
Next thing I know, I’ve set up shop in her bakery—
Trading insults by day… and thinking about her mouth by night.
Then her mixer breaks.
I fix it.
I end up covered in flour, and she looks at me like I’m something dangerously human.
Worst mistake?
Letting her see me crack.
She steadies me.
Feeds me. Challenges me.
And one kiss against her prep table turns into something I can’t walk away from.
I don’t fall.
I crash.
Right as the truth hits.
The deal is already in motion.
And winning means burning her world to the ground.
If I don’t stop it—
I won’t just lose her.
I’ll prove I was never worth loving in the first place.
Packed with billionaire angst, enemies-to-lovers sparks, opposites attract chemistry, small-town charm, delicious spice, and a hero willing to risk everything for love, this steamy standalone delivers all the feels. HEA guaranteed!
Genre: General Fiction
