The billionaire who bought me didn't want my heart. He wanted my father's head on a platter. At twenty-four, Isabella "Bella" Morrison is the golden girl of New York's elite, but she's just a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. When she agrees to be auctioned off for a single date to support her family's foundation, she expects a boring evening with a philanthropist. Instead, she is claimed by the one man her father warned her about: Nathaniel Cross. Nathaniel Cross is known in the boardroom as "The Vulture." Cold, calculating, and possessing a fortune that could buy and sell cities, he has spent two decades waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the man who ruined his family. When the gavel falls at thirty million dollars, he doesn't just win a date. He wins a month of Bella's life-and a front-row seat to her father's destruction. One month. One contract. No escape. Nathaniel's plan is simple: use Bella to bait her father, James Morrison, into a trap that will strip him of his empire and his dignity. He expects a spoiled socialite. He finds a woman of fire and resilience who challenges his every move. As the lines between revenge and obsession blur, the cold-hearted billionaire finds himself protecting the very woman he intended to break. But the Morrison-Cross feud isn't just a business rivalry; it's a blood feud written in the scars of the past. As Nathaniel and Bella navigate a world of high-stakes galas and private jets, they are hunted by shadows from both sides of the aisle. From a jealous ex-fiancée willing to pull the trigger to a brother fueled by madness, every step they take toward love is a step into a minefield. When the dead return, the real war begins. Just as Bella and Nathaniel find a fragile peace, the ultimate betrayal is revealed. The tragedy that fueled Nathaniel's rage-his father's suicide-was a lie. The Architect, the mastermind behind twenty years of misery, is alive and watching from the shadows. To save their unborn children and their future, Nathaniel and Bella must transform from enemies into a unified force, fleeing across continents as fugitives and fighting a war against a man who knows their every weakness. In a world where relatives return from the grave and mothers are more dangerous than monsters, Bella and Nathaniel must decide: is their love strong enough to break a cycle of violence that has spanned generations? "Daddy's Worst Enemy" is a high-octane, age-gap billionaire romance thriller packed with: A Forbidden Revenge Plot: He's the same age as her father and twice as dangerous. Enemies-to-Lovers Intensity: The heat between them is as explosive as the secrets they keep. Heart-Stopping Twists: Just when you think you know who the villain is, the floor drops out. A Family Saga of Survival: From the penthouses of Manhattan to the wilds of Canada, the stakes never stop rising. The war for the Cross-Morrison empire has only just begun. Nathaniel and Bella have survived the Architect, but the cycle of blood is far from over. Are you ready to meet the Vulture?
