The Thread That Ties Us: A Billionaire Romance

by Nicolette Terry

I have everything I need—wealth, power, control.
Until she walks in and threatens to unravel it all.

Liam Knight
My fashion empire is under attack.
Designs are vanishing. Secrets are leaking.
And the woman suing me for theft just so happens to be my ex-wife.
I don’t have time for distractions.
Then RoseMarie Silva crashes into my life—first in a coffee shop, then in my boardroom.
She’s stubborn. Smart-mouthed. Impossible to ignore.
And when I hire her to help me expose the traitor inside my walls…
She becomes a temptation I can’t afford.
But the more I push her away, the more I crave her.
And if I’m not careful, she’ll undo me—thread by thread.

RoseMarie
I wasn’t supposed to cross paths with the Liam Knight.
Let alone take a job working for him.
He’s brooding and brilliant and way too powerful for a girl like me.
But behind the billionaire façade is a man haunted by betrayal.
And when he lets me in—really in—I see more than a boss.
I see the man he hides from the world.
The one I might be falling for.
Even if we both know this was never supposed to be more than temporary.

🌶🌶🌶 Hot🔥 Spice Scale – For the Emotionally Unstable & Romantically Inclined™

🌶
Sweet kisses, soft sighs, and maybe a steamy fade-to-black. Think swoon, not steam.
(Perfect for Hallmark girlies with emotional damage.)

🌶🌶
Full open-door steam, but woven into the emotion and story. Tension, build-up, and earned intimacy.
(You're gonna feel things. In your heart. And your pants.)

🌶🌶🌶
The angst is high, the chemistry is higher, and so is the page count on that one scene you keep rereading.
(You’ll need water. And maybe prayer.)
➡️ This book lives here.

🌶🌶🌶🌶 Spicy
Graphic, frequent, toe-curling. The plot is trauma, the recovery is ✨spice✨.
(NSFW and proud of it.)

🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Emotionally reckless.

Reviews

[Stephanie Richey]

Liam, Liam, Liam 🥵 absolutely loved everything about this, and for the first time in forever, I stayed up till 2 am to finish this because I could not stop! The tension, the romance, the suspense…. Perfection! Absolutely dying for Cains full story next!

[Callie🧚🏻🦋 VanLanen]

I was lucky enough to beta read this book. I had such a fun time reading Liam and Rose’s story. While they weren’t my favorite couple, I did enjoy their story and the little mystery that was thrown in. It took me awhile to read this one because I didn’t want to leave the world and wait for the next book. Can’t wait to read about Cain cause that man is 🔥 🥵

Spice, suspense, and justice

Terry weaves together spicy romance, suspense and corporate espionage, and the quest for justice in a compelling way. The romance unfolds carefully at first, then dives right into pursuit and passion. Great Happy Ending too!
