The widower who rejected me
(2026)(The first book in the Letters to broken hearts series)
A novel by Jéssica Macedo
‘Take this check, get rid of the problem, and get out of my life.’
It was with these cruel words that billionaire Arthur Albuquerque kicked me out of his mansion, in the dead of night and in the rain, after discovering that I was carrying his child.
Arthur built an empire of glass and steel on Faria Lima Avenue, but his heart was an unreachable fortress of ice. A widower and deeply traumatized, he lived only for his work and his grief over Amanda, while his young son, Léo, wasted away in the darkness of that ghostly house.
Until I arrived.
I was hired as a nanny, with the impossible mission of bringing a child’s smile back. What I didn'''t expect was that my light would also illuminate the cracks in the ruthless CEO’s soul. Beneath his armor of arrogance, I found a broken man, and we gave ourselves over to a single, intense, and unforgettable night.
But the pregnancy awakened the worst of the monsters. Blinded by the terror of reliving the tragedy of his past, Arthur treated me like a parasite and tried to buy the destruction of our miracle.
I refused his dirty money. I fled far away, rebuilt my life from scratch in the countryside, and swore that my son would never know his father’s cowardice.
Six months later, his wall of ice crumbled. Arthur realized the unforgivable mistake he’d made and tracked me down. The untouchable CEO is now on his knees, his hands caked with dirt, willing to bleed, crawl, and break all his own rules to get his family back.
He promises that the monster is dead.
But how can I give my heart back to the man who tried to destroy my life?
