Noah by Allison LaFleur

Born to a life of poverty, abuse, and addiction, Lena Bailey fights to break the cycle all the women before her have suffered. When she’s not protecting her seven siblings from her father’s brutal fists, she’s slaving away in the The Tander Company steno pool or hitting the books at night school to earn her business degree. No matter what it takes, Lena is determined to beat the odds and make a better life for herself and her family.
Billionaire Noah Hendrix searches for meaning in is his privileged existence. The only child of a socialite and a senator, he has been groomed to ascend to his father’s comfortable seat in the Senate, but Noah is his own man. Raising money and rubbing elbows with the elite isn’t enough for this visionary. A force of nature, he is determined to forge his own path.
When Lena’s hard work and ambition lead to opportunity, Noah finds her insight and intelligence a unique match for his voracious hunger to succeed. In her vulnerability, he sees the chance to be a better man. Betrothed to his mother’s choice of perfect politician’s wife, Noah must overcome family expectations to follow his heart.
Will Noah prove the naysayers wrong and become the business mogul he knows he can be? Or is he just another playboy out to seduce his secretary? Will this new position lead to Lena’s salvation, or will she become yet another statistic in this billionaire office romance?
