Intrigued

Jasper Blackstone has spent his entire life cleaning up the messes his powerful family leaves behind.


Protect the family.

Control the fallout.

Never lose composure.


It’s a role he wears so well that most people mistake him for cold.


And maybe he is.


As the eldest Blackstone brother, Jasper learned long ago that love is weakness, trust is dangerous, and vulnerability gets people destroyed. So he keeps his distance from everyone—including the woman who unexpectedly arrives at Blackstone Manor and immediately threatens the careful control he’s spent years perfecting.


Holly Henderson.


She’s curious. Defiant. Far too observant.


And worst of all, Jasper wants her.


What begins as irritation quickly becomes obsession. Because beneath her sharp tongue and guarded heart, she makes him feel something he hasn’t allowed himself in a very long time:


Human.


But the closer she gets to him, the more dangerous the truth becomes. The Blackstone family was built on buried secrets, and Jasper has spent years making sure those secrets stay hidden.


Now the only woman he can’t stay away from may uncover everything.


Including the parts of himself he’s fought hardest to bury.


Intrigued is a deeply emotional billionaire romance about forbidden attraction, family loyalty, dangerous secrets, and the powerful man who never planned to fall first. It’s the first book in The Forbidden Billionaire Trilogy in The Blackstones series by Z.L. Arkadie.
