From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…
The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.
He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.
Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.
I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.
I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.
Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.
That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up.
I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.
But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.
Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.
He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.
We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.
Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.
I was falling in love with him.
Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.
And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.
REVIEW
Reviewer: Kim
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
Penelope Ward books are a must read for me. Her books I can never put down and this was the case with this book to.
I enjoyed the story line and the characters personalties.
Both characters face their own demons and tragedy in their past. There past tragedies is what brings the couple together tho and to fight them. Both needed each other to open their hearts and move forward and finally be happy. The chemistry they both had no bounds and that really came across in the book.
Primrise is very independent and strong but beneath it all is hurt and pain. Her inner struggles were damaging to her and when she started moving on and opening up she got more strength.
There weee a few twist and turns and tummy dropping moment which I expect from the author.
Thus was another smash hit in my opinion.
