Lucie Benton
About this listen
She moved to San Diego for a fresh start. He’s a billionaire hiding from the spotlight. Their love could either heal—or destroy—them both.
After a crushing breakup, Lucie Benton is ready to leave her past behind and start anew in the vibrant, sunlit city of San Diego.
With a dream job at a prestigious magazine and a best friend pushing her to take chances, Lucie reluctantly dives into the world of online dating. What she doesn’t expect is Julian—a captivating, mysterious entrepreneur who seems to understand her in ways no one else ever has.
But Julian isn’t just any entrepreneur—he’s a powerful billionaire, escaping the relentless pressures of fame and wealth. When his double life collides with Lucie’s, it thrusts her into a dazzling yet dangerous world of opulence, scrutiny, and betrayal.
As Julian’s secrets come to light, Lucie finds herself torn. Can she trust the man she’s come to love, despite his lies? Or should she choose safety with Bradley, a down-to-earth mechanic whose kindness offers a different kind of love? With her heart caught between two very different men, Lucie must decide what truly matters—authenticity, safety, or a love that risks it all.
Perfect for listeners who crave heartfelt romance and high-stakes tension, this is a story about love’s transformative power, the courage to face the truth, and the strength it takes to follow your heart—even when the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Story
I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted. And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be. When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in.

They say monsters are made. I was born one. With an angelic face and a cursed talent, I eat magic and ask for seconds.

I escaped his prison, only to stumble upon a dangerous school ruled by five heirs. Girls fight to fall into their laps, even though they’re all hot mess assholes.

Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies. Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him.

They called me a freak. They called me a loser. They tormented me and made my life a living nightmare when all I had ever wanted was to be left alone. And five years ago, after a lifetime of being bullied and harassed, of enduring more pain and trauma than any man could handle, that's exactly what I set out to do. I left the only home I'd ever known to lock myself behind the cemetery gates and care for the only people who have ever given me the peace I craved—the dead.
