He thinks protection is something he can purchase. She is the one woman who knows what it costs.
Ten years ago, billionaire developer Gideon West discovered that Audrey Lane's family was about to lose everything.
So he saved their historic West Village building.
He simply forgot to ask Audrey's permission first.
By the time she learned he had secretly purchased the debt threatening her family's property and arranged its rescue without her consent, the man she loved had turned her future into another problem he believed money could solve.
Audrey walked away from Gideon and rebuilt her family's legacy without him, transforming Lane House into one of Manhattan's most sought-after luxury design ateliers.
Now Gideon has bought his way back into her life.
A redevelopment plan threatens Audrey's business, her neighbors, and the block she has spent years protecting. Gideon has the money and influence to stop it, but accepting his help would mean trusting the man who once confused love with ownership.
Working beside him is dangerous enough.
Meeting Maeve, Gideon's clever seven-year-old daughter, reveals a tender side of him Audrey was never prepared to see. Late nights restoring the atelier revive the chemistry neither of them buried. Every argument brings them closer. Every touch remembers too much.
Gideon has never stopped loving Audrey. He would buy every building in Manhattan to keep her safe.
But Audrey does not need another rescue.
She needs him to surrender control, give her the choice he stole ten years ago, and prove that this time he wants to stand beside her rather than own everything she loves.
Because Gideon West can purchase almost anything.
Winning back his ex will require him to give something away.
The Ex Who Bought Manhattan is a full-length, high-heat, closed-door billionaire romance featuring an intensely protective hero, a fiercely independent heroine, second-chance longing, single-dad tenderness, forced collaboration, sharp banter, hard-earned trust, passionate kisses, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Book Three in The Billionaire Blacklist series. Can be read as a standalone.
