    Behind the gleaming glass towers of Manhattan, billionaire Alexander Pierce is a man shrouded in mystery. To the world, he’s powerful, untouchable, and dangerously composed. But to Emily Carter, his loyal yet curious assistant, there are cracks in the armor — small signs that the man she works for is hiding more than just business secrets. 
    When a stranger from his past reappears, Alexander’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Whispers of a long-buried tragedy surface, and Emily is drawn into a maze of unanswered questions, locked rooms, and fragments of a past that refuses to stay hidden. 
    The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that Alexander’s greatest wealth is not measured in fortune — but in the love, loss, and guilt he’s kept buried for years. And someone will do anything to keep that truth from ever seeing the light of day. 
    A story of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, The Billionaire’s Hidden Heart is a powerful reminder that even the strongest hearts can be broken… and healed.

    “Nicholas Sparks fans will rejoice to hear there’s a new male author on the scene who writes beautifully about love and emotionally charged relationships.” —RT Book Reviews Only a few months ago, Gerry Rubato had everything he thought he needed from life. After nearly twenty years of marriage, he was still passionately in love with his college sweetheart, he had a bright, independent-minded daughter, and he had the surprising addition of a new child on the way. Then everything changed with stunning rapidity. With little explanation, Gerry’s daughter ran away with her older boyfriend. Then, only a month after giving birth to their son, his wife died suddenly. Now, Gerry needs to be everything to his infant child while he contends with two losses he can barely comprehend. And when a woman walks into his life as a friend and their relationship verges on something more, Gerry must redefine all that he knows about himself, about love, about loyalty, and about his dreams. “Lou Aronica writes with deep sensitivity of the power of love to transform and heal in the face of overwhelming tragedy. A lovely read.” —Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookshop “Tears of sadness and joy go hand in hand in this immensely satisfying story.” —RT Book Reviews
