While wedding dramas trend, billionaires brood in corner offices, and runaway-bride romances flood the market, one truth remains undeniable: few authors dare to take the trope to its most dangerous, delicious extreme. In Blackmailed by the Bossy Billionaire: A Runaway Bride Enemies-to-Lovers Romance, Kyla Kent delivers a bold, seductive twist on forbidden love — one where passion collides with power, and secrets threaten to destroy everything.
Part steamy escape, part emotional unraveling, and part high-stakes love story, Kent’s novel begins not with a cold-feet confession… but with a wildfire. A bride bolts from her own wedding, dives into the anonymity of a hotel bar, and makes the worst — and hottest — decision of her life. One reckless night. One irresistible stranger. One moment where danger tastes like freedom.
By morning, the consequences hit harder than heartbreak:
the man she slept with is now her new boss — and the groom’s cousin.
From that spark erupts a ferocious, slow-burning war between two people who would rather fight than admit their desire. Damon Montclair, all cold steel and darker edges, is convinced she’s a spy sent to sabotage him. Suspicious. Controlled. Untouchable.
But she’s not nearly as immune to him as she wants to be — and he’s even less immune to her.
What begins as a dangerous collision in the boardroom becomes a full-on inferno behind closed doors. Damon’s penthouse turns into a battleground of lust and frustration; every command, every glare, every accidental touch pushes them closer to the line they both swore they’d never cross again.
And yet, when the walls finally crack, another truth emerges:
Damon Montclair isn’t just grumpy and powerful — he’s hunted.
Enemies circle him. Family betrays him.
And she, the runaway bride who knows too much, becomes the one thing he can’t risk losing.
At the heart of the story lies Kent’s intoxicating exploration of power, vulnerability, and irresistible chemistry:
A runaway bride who finds freedom in the arms of the wrong man
A billionaire whose suspicion is only matched by his obsession
A forbidden romance fueled by tension, banter, and molten attraction
A penthouse turned pressure-cooker where feelings become unavoidable
Secrets that threaten their careers, their safety, and their hearts
A love neither of them planned — and both of them fear
Kent’s writing is sharp, addictive, and electric with emotional stakes. She builds a world where desire is dangerous, trust is fragile, and every chapter pulls readers deeper into a romance that’s as explosive as it is vulnerable. Blackmailed by the Bossy Billionaire proves that even the most disastrous beginnings can spark the fiercest, most unforgettable love.
Written with heat, suspense, and a keen understanding of the tropes readers crave, the novel challenges its lovers — and its audience — to ask: how far would you go when the truth could ruin everything?
