Under His Control: Billionaire Emotional Angst Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798259368026)

Isabel Chen is a dedicated third-grade teacher who prefers the "emotional lives of inanimate objects" to the high-stakes drama of dating. But when a sudden summer storm traps her in a downtown art gallery, she meets Dante Moretti-a man with "amber eyes" and a charcoal suit that costs more than her annual rent .

Dante is the heir to a financial empire, a man trained by a ruthless father to value power over connection. Yet, in a single night of "violent transformation," the billionaire who commands boardrooms finds himself humbled by a woman who lives in a 400-square-foot walk-up. The tension reaches a breaking point when Isabel whispers three words that stop Dante's world: "I've never done this before" . Now, Dante must decide if he can trade his empty empire for the "magic in ordinary moments" found in Isabel's world.

"I've never done this before..." Those five whispered words didn't just stop the clock-they shattered a billionaire's world.

Isabel Chen knows beauty. As a third-grade teacher, she sees it in the messy crayon drawings of her students and the quiet corners of art galleries. She isn't looking for a prince; she's looking for a connection that feels real . But when a thunderstorm traps her with a stranger whose gaze is as intense as a "summer storm," her safe, predictable life is washed away.

Dante Moretti is a master of control. He built a financial empire by thirty-five and knows that "becoming who we're meant to be requires destroying who we were". He's used to women who know the rules of his high-society game. But Isabel doesn't play by his rules. She challenges him to be human, to be vulnerable, and to see the "extraordinary in the everyday".

One night. No turning back. When Dante follows Isabel into her humble fourth-floor walk-up, the gulf between their worlds should have been impossible to bridge . Instead, he finds a warmth he's never known. But as their connection deepens from soul-deep conversations to a "transformative" night of passion, the reality of their different lives looms.

Dante is falling "fast and hard," but in a world of skyscrapers and cutthroat boardrooms, can a billionaire truly belong in a classroom world of "The Giving Tree" and mismatched mugs?

Is he the man who will claim her soul, or the storm that will destroy her peace?

If you love billionaire romances with deep emotional stakes, "he falls first" vibes, and a "billionaire vs. sweet teacher" dynamic, Under His Control is your next one-sitting read.
