He’s the arrogant billionaire who’ll stop at nothing to reclaim the woman he betrayed. She’s the one whose heart he broke—and who vowed she’d never take him back.

Three years ago, I watched Vance Falcon leave the country with another woman on the morning news—from the hotel penthouse we’d shared the night before.

Twenty years my senior, and sinfully charming, he’d made me believe we shared a real connection. But he didn’t just deceive me in love. He took everything I’d worked for with him.

I’ve hated him for it every day since.

Now Vance is back—the same egotistical alpha who won’t accept no for an answer, demanding that I give him a second chance.

But I’ve built my highly successful career and planned my future without him. I refuse to let him tear it all apart.

There’s just one problem: Dr Vance Falcon is as insanely hot as he was the day we met—and just as persuasive. He insists that I’m his angel and I’ll always be his.

And resisting him is proving almost impossible…

But loving Vance Falcon cost me dearly once. What if this time it costs me everything?

In Love and Betrayal is a sizzling billionaire-lover, second-chance, dual-point-of-view romance, starring the heart-stoppingly sexy Dr Vance Falcon and his greatest obsession: beautiful, independent and successful Dove Fairfax. Perfect for fans of T L Swan and Rosa Lucas.

Elle Nicoll is a British author, and ex-long-haul flight attendant, who was born in Sheffield and now resides near the south coast.

She writes steamy and angsty contemporary romance novels, all based around love, and is known for her BookTok-favourite novel, Pleasing Mr. Parker.

Elle loves putting her characters through challenges that make them grow from the beginning of the story until they get their HEA. They have to fight hard for it…but when they get there, it’s so worth it.

All of Elle’s characters are different. Whether they are a brooding CEO, the best friend who always held the heroine in his heart, a Hollywood heartthrob, or a silver fox with gentlemanly manners and a deliciously filthy tongue, they are all unique and infuriating in their own way.

Because no one is perfect.

When Elle isn’t writing she is either on her spinning bike (where many ideas come to her), adding to her crystal collection, or sipping lattes at the beach.

It means the world to Elle that you’re reading her stories, and she loves to hear from readers.
