A billion-dollar fashion empire, and it’s about to be mine…

I've worked a decade for this. I've sold my soul and my reputation. I've lived a lie, smiled for the cameras, and hated myself, all for this inheritance.

And then … she pops up. A mysterious heir with a rap sheet, combat boots, and a mouth that I want to pin shut with my—

It doesn’t matter. I’ve played this game for a decade. I can continue the charade a little longer, keep my hands to myself and her body out of my mind. I can keep my secret until the ink dries and everything is mine. 

Or not.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

This is a love story about two totally different people falling in love.  Alessandra Torre has a wonderful imagination and has written a unique story.  Marco and Avery meet by chance. They are both flawed, have secrets and have made unusual choices in their lives.

 

Marco is an opportunist.  He is a devastatingly handsome man who uses his looks to get ahead. To be honest, this bothered me and I didn’t respect Marco. Avery has not had it easy and lives a dangerous life. She is tough and hard and not afraid to grab what she wants.

 

When I read a story I want to fall in love with the characters and unfortunately, I did not connect with Marco and Avery or understand their choices. Neither Marco or Avery have had an easy life. They have each made choices they now regret. This story is about love and redemption and it is filled with passion and emotion. Nothing is as it seems. The story gives the reader both Marco and Avery’s  POV, so we understand both of their perspectives.
