RESISTING THE CITY'S BADBOY

Annotation

She got pregnant by the man she loved, but he ruthlessly spit her out the moment he learned of the seed in her womb. To protect the image of their family, Ayana Salma De’Mario was grounded and hidden like a bad omen.   Six years later, Ayana knows only the walls of her cage, her sweet five-year-old girl, her paintings, the young student she is teaching, and this mysterious ghost lover whom she has never met.   But a tragedy strikes their family empire. And, in need of a savior, her family decided to trade the black sheep of the family to save their company.   And in the picture is the cold-hearted Adam Stone De'Leon, the most ill-famed heartbreaker the city has ever had. A vainglorious, beyond-s*xy man who leaves every straight woman drooling over him despite his reputation. He has two rules: no attachments, and absolutely no second time with the same woman. A controversial man who parades his sins as if they are gold crowns on his head. But something unexpected changes the moment he meets Ayana. His heart beats for her in ways he never imagined. He wants her by all means and would go to any extreme to have her.   But Ayana would rather die a million deaths than help her family, much less if it involves her life being tangled with such a skanky man.   She rebels. She is expelled. And she leaves. Unbeknownst to her, a tangled fate awaits her outside. She crashes into the stubborn lady’s man, Adam Stone De’Leon, her toxic, insecure, and dominant ghost fiance, and to top the misfortunes, her arrogant, aggressive baby daddy storms back into her life to claim what he believes belongs to him.   And the sweet, heart-stirring tangle begins!
