Tucker Billionaires #1
Temporary Love
A slow burn, steamy, and heartfelt marriage of convenience featuring a billionaire and his temporary nanny.
Ever since my sister died and left me in charge of her infant daughter, I’ve been drowning in debt and on the verge of homelessness. When I reach out to the stranger who fathered my niece, a name my sister kept secret from me, I’m surprised by a hot billionaire who’s determined to fix everything that’s broken.
His proposal to temporarily move us to his island and into his oceanfront estate seems like a dream come true. With a four month stay, there’s no chance of us turning into more. But as time runs out, we’re not ready to say goodbye. Our only option is a marriage of convenience—a fake relationship—to trick the government, allowing me to stay in my niece’s life permanently.
This fairytale life is too good to be true, and it’s only a matter of time before the clock strikes

thank you to valentines pr for the ARC! (turns out i have a lot to say)
- a marriage of convenience romance! billionaire romance, slow burn, single dad trope, surprise baby, forced proximity, one bed trope, he falls first!
- this is technically a nanny x single dad but i really don’t see it that way tbh
- love that this is set on an island!!
- this had an interesting start….
- my heart breaks for Ember she’s been through shit
- looks like we’re gonna have our hands full with the ex(?) girlfriend….
- i need something good to happen to Ember because i’m going to cry in a minute
- i don’t care how the salesperson felt, glad he told her off!!
- okay not sure how to feel about any of Gage’s family but deffo don’t like the mother
- i do love how Gage has thrown himself into being a dad
- the sexual tension during that dance lesson 🥵🥵 holy moly
- for a slow burn romance, it’s very fast paced!
- Gage is VERY protective alpha male and i am here for it
- Hugh can get FUCKED
- i always find it odd when the marriage of convenience isn’t straight away, we’re 50% in and they’re just discussing it with Ember not wanting to!
- oh he’s named the company after all three of them🥹
- “Don’t put my brother’s hopes and dreams above yours. Don’t be one of those girls.” Ava i love you
- OH EMBER YOU FUCKING IDIOT, does this count as miscommunication?
- Gage realising he’s in love with Ember 😭😭
- HE CHASED AFTER HER (literally got on a PLANE) INSTEAD OF IT BEING A BIG MISCOMMUNICATION AHHH!! so happy 😭
- Ember if you don’t wake up soon i am taking Gage for myself, k?
- i love that we explore Ember’s complicated feelings, it’s so valid what she’s feeling and i’m glad it’s not being swept under the rug to make way for the romance
- the first proper sex scene was VERY good
- Gage just secretly plotting Ember to fall in love with him is so funny
- they didn’t get married until 85% into the book which i do find a bit odd
- Nova almost walking on their honeymoon cracked me up, this book has some really good sweet/funny moments
- that was a VERY intense 20 page third act conflict, i was all over the place
- if they don’t cut off the mother i swear to god
- god save the Queen
- no third act break up besties x
- i’m not very satisfied with the way the third act conflict was resolved, it could of been this big lovely thing with their loved ones involved! so her just walking up to the house and being told Gage was already there fell very flat
- i did really really love their love confessions
- a lot of things were forgotten about in the plot that were quickly explained away in the third act conflict/epilogue that didn’t really work for me…
- i honestly forgot about Hugh and then he’s given evidence? now he’s getting a divorce? none of this was shown just told so i stopped caring
- and the Abby plot fizzled so bad i was pissed! what do you mean she fled the country so she got no consequences? that’s really boring! will she come back in another book and face consequences? that just doesn’t seem to fit right?
- and what was the point in having that 5 second interaction with her abusive dad at the beginning of the book? he wasn’t mentioned again..? he could of been a fun conflict
- i also don’t like how they skirted around/ignored Athena’s suicide… it was never properly addressed and she deserved that respect i think
- a lot of the story was 5 stars for me and i loved the writing! but just a few aspects of the story made me bump it down to four stars
- i really really enjoyed this and absolutely obsessed with the boy obsessed but i don’t think this should of been my first book by W. Million, i think i would have understood Bellerieve society a lot more (and it’s such a BIG part of the essence of the book) if i’d read some of the others first!

In this captivating marriage of convenience tale, the emotional weight of responsibility and unexpected love collide.
Ever since tragedy thrusts her into the role of a struggling guardian, Ember navigates debt and desperation until a mysterious billionaire offers an unlikely lifeline. The narrative unfolds with a slow burn, expertly weaving a heartfelt connection between the characters amidst the backdrop of a luxurious island estate. The cover, a visual delight, mirrors the story's depth and allure. As a long time reader of W. Million books, I was enamoured by the beautifully written romance, appreciating the meticulous character development and the genuine journey of love overcoming conventional barriers.
The tale skillfully embraces classic tropes like forced proximity and protective heroes, yet transcends clichés with its nuanced exploration of found family and unexpected joy. I loved to see some of those Easter eggs making appearances in this story too.
Ultimately, this book is a gem in the romance genre, leaving me with a sense of warmth and satisfaction, and the cover stands out as an exquisite reflection of the enchanting story within.
A captivating must-read for lovers of slow-burn romance, where emotions ignite and passion simmers in this expertly crafted tale of unexpected love.

I received this as an ARC & hated that I took long to read it but this was such a great read! I was in a mini slump and this took me right out of it! such an easy read. i fell in love with Ember from the beginning. she’s such a strong FMC and so caring and did whatever she could for Nova. I liked Gage as well, but really loved seeing him step up to be a father. Definitely will be reading more books from this author! Not too much spice which was nice! it’s also out now !

“Their world can be completely dark if they ever made yours dim even a little”
‘Temporary Love’ by W Million exceeded my expectations and let me tell you, I was super excited to dive into this book and it did not disappoint! I'm a sucker for stories with a mix of a marriage of convenience, billionaire romance and forced proximity - and W Million has nailed it!
I have loved Million's character development, offering not only relatable protagonists but also deeply intriguing personalities. Ember's struggle as a newfound guardian, burdened with financial debts and the unknown identity of Nova's biological father, creates a compelling backdrop. The introduction of Gage Tucker, a determined billionaire with an unexpected soft side, adds layers to the storyline, making it engaging from the start.The emotional journey and personal development of both Ember and Gage are masterfully portrayed. I found myself empathizing with Ember's trust issues and the weight of her decisions, while Gage's transformation from a hotshot billionaire to a caring and protective father figure was both thrilling and heartwarming to be part of.
The plot kept me hooked with unexpected twists and a perfect balance of romance and drama. The dynamics between Ember, Gage, and Nova are heartwarming, and the forced proximity element adds tension, connection and spice to the mix! Overall, I have really enjoyed this book, especially the development of Gage as a character. I am looking forward to more books from W. Million and I really hope Nathaniel will have his book too 🫶🏻
I have received ARC and I am voluntarily reviewing it 🫶🏻

Wendy Million is back to entertain us with stories of royalty and the family of royalty of Bellerive with a new book titled Temporary Love. I have found that I am a fan of royalty. I enjoy a good royal story once in a while and these books have been very entertaining. This book moves a little further out in the family and doesn’t deal with the serving royal family directly. We meet Gabe and Ember in this book and I’ll tell you why this book was such a joy for me to read. It was simply pure joy.
Who doesn’t love a good love story? This is a classic slow burn, steamy, and heartfelt story of a marriage of convenience. Right away I am hooked. I love a little slow burn with a side of steamy! Don’t you?
Ember is left behind to care for her sister’s daughter Nova, when her sister dies unexpectedly. They are almost homeless when she reaches out to Gabe who is the stranger that fathered her niece. Gabe shows up and Ember doesn’t want to give up the last thing that connects her to her sister and she becomes the nanny requiring her to travel to Bellerive.
I love the characters in this book! Gabe and Ember are both afraid to share their feelings for many reasons. We see Gabe grow up and take responsibility and fight for those he loves. Ember is steadfast in her love for her niece. Good characters with good intentions that go a little haywire especially when the government steps in. Immigration is tightly controlled in Bellerive and I’m not telling you everything that happens. I want you to plunge in and go for the ride that I did. You will enjoy the many family members that come into the life of Nova.
If you love family, royals and a little steamy on the side, you will enjoy the ride that Ember and Gabe will take you on in this story. Family and love is everything. Right? I recommend Temporary Love by Wendy Million for your reading pleasure. Until next time…Happy Reading!

Thanks for the ARC.
What's hotter than a hot billionaire? A hot billionaire holding a baby! How could Ember resist falling in love with Gage as he learns to change her niece's diaper, teaches her to swim and hands her his credit card. Oh she tries... "Angst is best enjoyed in small doses through someone else's reality".
Wendy expertly brings the angst level to a boiling point and then tips it over. This book is hot.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It isn’t the same billionaire romance you’ve read hundreds of times before. It completely original, and new! I love the story, and the characters. Just all of it! I had never read anything by this author before, and I will be reading more of them. Their writing quality is fantastic. I also thought the town the FMC was from is my hometown was super cool. It isn’t a common place, so I was tickled pink. That on top of the superb story, and writing has this being one of my favorite billionaire romances!!

Wendy Million has had me hooked once again!! An amazing story line, beautifully written and so full of emotions and character development, I could not leave it alone for one second. It's very hard to go to work with a book this good waiting for you.
Once again, I loved each character in this story and they had me feeling as if I was living their tale right there with them.
As a Wendy Million fan, I loved all the small easter eggs in this book that links it to the Bellerive Royals series. I have missed those characters, so their appearances where very much appreciated.
Also, I sence the possibility of second book and I am already excited to continue with the story of the Tucker's of Tucker's Town, Bellerive.
Thanks Wendy for the book and thanks for giving me a chance to be part of the ARC team.

“You and Nova are my home. The two of you are everything.”
I loved this book! It had me hooked from the very beginning!!
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
After the death of her sister, Ember is determined to give her niece, Nova, the best life she can. Unfortunately, she's not sure how she's going to make it work with all the bills piling up and no way to pay them. Running out of options, she decides to reach out to her sisters one night stand and hopes that he takes the news of fatherhood well and is open to helping out. "Baby's aren't cheap," and Ember has definitely learned how expensive babies can be alone with no support.
Gage lives in his own bubble, where money is never a concern, and he only has himself to care for and plans to keep it that way for a very long time! Fate, however, has another plan. After receiving the news that he's a father, Gage needs time to figure out what to do. He'd rather just throw money at the problem and walk away! Money solves everything in his world. However, when he shoes up, he's quickly reminded that not everyone lives like he does. His plan to throw money at the situation and leave no longer sits right with him. Feeling guilty, he comes up with another plan!
▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
Ember was such an adorable h. She was determined to make every situation work even when the odds were stacker against her.
Gage 😍😍😍 even though he came off so cocky he wore his heart on his sleeve! I couldn't help but root for him the entire book. Even though everyone continuously doubt him (minus Em) he stayed focused on what he wanted and didn't let it get to him!

The blurb for the book grabbed my attention when it was offered as an ARC. I was a little hesitant when I saw the cover which reminded me of romance books from the 80’s that I saw my grandma read.
The story had me invested within the first few pages and I was quickly completely engrossed in the story, the characters, and the emotions. A sister left to care for her older sister’s baby with little resources and down to pretty much living on her determination and grit. Ember was dealing with so much when Gage finally shows up.
Gage is a playboy who has never taken much seriously and has never had to be responsible or face consequences of his actions. Learning he has fathered a baby knocks him for a loop. Meeting Ember and Nova has him stepping up for once.
The slow and gradual development of Gage and Ember’s relationship is fantastic. Gage learns to be a father and with time he changes and grows up. Ember experiences safety and acceptance with Gage and his siblings.
I truly enjoyed to book start to finish. I normally am hesitant to read romance books 400+ pages, but the author didn’t add a bunch of fluff in to increase the page count! Each chapter and event that is described moves the storyline along and built towards a fabulous ending.
I received a free ARC from the author and Grey’s PR; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

Ahhh I literally had such a good time reading this!
Gage and Embers story is a good one, I love their relationship! I am always a sucker for the he falls first trope and Gage really FELL
Little baby Nova was so cute, I wish we would’ve gotten a epilogue with her being a few yrs older 🥹
The last 10% had me 🫨, I literally did not see it coming and was SCARED for the outcome 😭
I need more people to read this book because it is indeed a good one.
It’s sorta a single dad/nanny romance with the marriage of convenience!! It was such a good mix 🙌
The reason why this didn’t get a higher rating is because I did feel like a couple things were left open but I still had a good time regardless
I’m curious to know if we’ll get another Tucker sibling book 👀

It’s sorta a single dad/nanny romance with the marriage of convenience!! It was such a good mix 🙌
The reason why this didn’t get a higher rating is because I did feel like a couple things were left open but I still had a good time regardless
I’m curious to know if we’ll get another Tucker sibling book 👀

If your favorite tropes are marriage of convenience, he falls first, surprise baby, forced proximity and billionaire then Temporary Love is your jam. Ember is a young woman struggling with keeping her head above water (and failing) while caring for her niece whose mothers died. Gage is a billionaire who has never had a problem money and influence couldn’t solve. When Gage finds out he has a daughter (Nova) he finds himself feeling very protective of his daughter but also the very sad Ember. This is an emotional story of trying not to want things you feel like you don’t deserve. I was a little worried about the books length but the story was so good time flew by. I’ve added W. Million to my favorite authors list, and you will too.

If you’ve met some of the other couples we see in this book, you’ll love catching up with them. If you haven’t, that’s okay. You won’t be lost and you’ll love getting to know them. Either way, you’ll enjoy the time spent with people who support and grow to love both Gage and Ember. And the people who stand by their side when all seems a tad hopeless.
Ember might frustrate you a tad, but you’ll understand her reluctance to believe that anything gold can stay. Trust me. She’s been through misery and has a very tough time trusting that her world can be more than just Nova. Gage does such a great job of proving his love that he gets trapped in her heart despite her best efforts to protect herself, though. And boy, does Gage give it his all. When this man picks a path, he sticks with it. And when he finds that someone he loves has been wronged, look out. Because vengeance is definitely a husband and father who has seen how some will treat his wife and daughter.
I’m sure we’ll see these two again and I personally can’t wait for it. After all, there are other siblings needing love, so we must know more!

Great Book with Angst, Heartache, Happiness, and True Love
This is the first book I have read by Wendy Million and I know it won’t be my last! Everyone knows that Gage and Ember are going to fall in love, but it’s how the author gets us there that determines if a book is great or just OK. I must say that Ms. Million’s writing makes this book interesting and hard to put down.
The characters are flawed but easily get us emotionally engaged in their journey to find happiness, despite Ember’s angst and heartache. Their sexual chemistry and tension is evident and only grows as the story unfolds. Ms. Million describes their first kiss with so much sensuous detail that it was as intimate as making love. The slow burn romance is tortuous but is necessary to truly portray the genuineness of their building relationship. The happy ending followed a bit of angst, which made it richer.
I highly recommend this book. I received a free ARC and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

I loved this book! I was quickly drawn into Gage and Ember’s story and couldn’t wait to see how it all played out. The author’s writing style makes this novel a very enjoyable and easy read. Although there is some spice, it doesn’t detract from the plot.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a sweet billionaire romance story.

ARC Review
5⭐️
I couldn’t put this book down!!
Tropes~ Marriage of convenience, forced proximity, surprise baby/single dad, slow burn, he falls first , no third act breakup
✨This book had me hooked from the start. The characters were so interesting and the male character was developed so well. I loved the slow burn between them and felt like the relationship was shown perfectly❣️
✨ The found family and sense of community in this was amazing , although I really don’t like his mother. I’m really hoping this is going to be a series and get Nathaniel’s book, he seems very interesting✨
✨ This was my first book from this author but I plan on reading the rest of her books now, I finished this book in one sitting because I was so invested in the story. This book deals with some heavy stuff but I felt like it was portrayed in the right way✨

I’ve never read any of the previous royal books. This was a good read with no 3rd quarter breakups. The h/h stayed true to each other. Nice sweet read that I would recommend.

I love the whole island this author created!! This is the slowest of slow burns…let me tell you! But I promise it is worth it! Gage is seriously the sweetest. I swoon so hard for a he falls first romance. Ember and Gage are just meant for each other even though they came together under unfortunate circumstances. Ember had such a rough life that I was just rooting so hard for her and so glad she found Gage when she did and that he was able to help her. I could not put this book down. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Temporary Love is the first book in the Tucker Billionaire series by W. Million. Million is a new author to me. This book was such a wonderfully delightful read, that I can't wait to check out more by the author and reading more about the Tucker family.
The blurb to the book drew me in. This has all the tropes that can suck me in: marriage of convenience, forced proximity, he falls first, surprise baby/single dad... and all that with the guarantee that there is no silly drama with the usually expected third act breakup before the HEA.
Ember's beloved older sister died about three months earlier. She had been all that Ember had after a difficult upbringing and a father that they had disconnected from. However, with the death of her sister, Ember is now the guardian to her baby niece, Nova. Ember is desperate - unable to work and drowning in bills - she needs help and nowhere to turn. The best she can do is find Nova's biological father and hope for the best.
Turns out, Gage Tucker is Nova's biological father. He may be a billionaire from a dreamy island home somewhere in the Bahamas, but he is totally ill equipped to be a father. Being who he is, he has always got what he wanted thanks to his money. He convinces Ember to come along with him and Nova to his home, at least for four months. The issue being, visas and whatnot, and this is his downfall, especially as he finds himself rapidly falling in love with his daughter's aunt.
This is a slow burn romance that means that as a reader you can explore the personality of both the MCs as the attraction starts to build gently and slowly heat up. The book is also told from the POV of each character, so as the story develops there is no questioning "what is Gage thinking about this?" or "what would Ember do?". The plot of the book isn't wholly unexpected, so it's good that there's some soul to make it stand out from the crowd. I really appreciated that there is no missing details or open questions about the characters motivations.

First Impressions are important, especially in a billionaires world. However, this is not going to focus on that side instead this review will begin with a first impression of the characters. Gage, this billionaire is a complete brat and lives a rather free life which consists of sleeping with women and being in an on-and-off relationship with his long-time girlfriend. Little did he know his life would change with one single DNA test. As for Ember, I would give it my all to hug this woman, and a pat on the shoulder for enduring the hardships that she had to experience. Living in poverty, with a newborn child, while grieving and on the brink of losing her only home has taken a toll on her.
This was honestly such a ride, I might have been confused in chapter 1 but as soon as chapter 2 hit, the story clicked to me. I couldn’t stop myself from turning the pages and seeing how things would go between Gage and Ember. They’re both from different worlds, different statuses, different roots, and polar opposites but somehow they have a connection, they understand each other.
I thought Gage was going to be a heartless person but it turns out he proved my judgement wrong. He took accountability and responsibility for being a father, making sure only the best treatment was given to Ember and his child, which ultimately warmed my heart. He has been supportive of Ember’s wants, needs, and passion.
The thing that bothered me though was that Chapter 1 Gage and Chapter 2 Gage seem like a different kind of person, the transition was indeed kind of fast for my liking, it felt like reading 2 different characters. However, I did like how he turned out, he became a much better person. Not only that, I felt bored in some chapters, conversations just went on and on and on and I didn’t particularly enjoy Ember continuously saying that the baby is the last piece that she will have of her sister.
Nonetheless, I still love the found family aspect and the slice-of-life vibe that this book gives off, so if you’re looking for a warm, light, heartwarming billionaire romance, this might be for you.

"You can kiss me.”
“Right now?”
"In public.”
"I don’t want to kiss you for the first time as some kind of performance, Em. I want the first one to be real, at least.”
"Fuck the five years. She might not know it yet, but she’s mine forever.”
I loved this book! We read about how Ember is struggling and barely living as well as taking care of her dead sister’s baby. I loved reading how Gage comes to the rescue as he’s the baby’s father and takes care of Ember as well. I loved how the marriage of convenience trope was done in this book. In order for Ember to stay on the island that Gage lives in, and to be part of her niece, Nova’s day-to-day life, she and Gage get married for the visa. I loved how much Gage was there for Ember and Nova. Right away he steps up to his dad‘s duties. I also loved how he was there to support Ember through the parenting aspects since she was doing it all alone. I swooned so hard at how Gage was there to show Ember that she had someone in her life that she could lean on. These steamy scenes in this book were so good! I really liked that. The characters slowly got to know one another and trust each other instead of quickly jumping in. It was so sweet how they developed real feelings for each other and both realized that they want more than the promised five years together.
The only thing I wasn’t so thrilled about in this book was how rich Gage was. I felt like he was constantly throwing money out the drain for no reason. You don’t have to worry about money, but you should still care about.

Dual POVs
Marriage of convenience
Billionaire hero
Guardian to niece
Single dad romance
Forced proximity
Hero falls
Open door romance
No third act breakup

“Loving Gage feels like both the greatest risk and biggest reward of my life.”
I'm having a hard time writing this review because so much happens in this story that I don't know where to begin. I will say that I enjoyed every minute of it.
One of the things I enjoyed the most was the character growth in both MCs. Seeing Gage go from the perpetual single guy who only wants to make his own money, to the loving father and supporting partner that he ends up being was beautiful. And the way that Ember went from being the girl who accepted the bare minimum and tried to make everyone else's life easier, to accepting that she was worth more and going for what she wanted was truly inspiring.
I loved the connection and partnership Em and Gage developed and how easily they integrated their lives for Nova's sake. And I gotta say, the Tucker family dynamics are definitely interesting, and I am not a fan of their mom. Also, I do wonder whatever happened to the lawyer.
Quote: “Maybe if I treat her really well, do everything I can to make her happy, she won’t want to leave me. How badly I want that scares me, but I can’t deny it’s true. After drifting so aimlessly for most of my life, I finally have something—someone—worth holding onto.”

TEMPORARY LOVE By W. Million
Ever since my sister died and left me in charge of her infant daughter, I’ve been drowning in debt and on the verge of homelessness. When I reach out to the stranger who fathered my niece, a name my sister kept secret from me, I’m surprised by a hot billionaire who’s determined to fix everything that’s broken.
His proposal to temporarily move us to his island and into his oceanfront estate seems like a dream come true. With a four month stay, there’s no chance of us turning into more. But as time runs out, we’re not ready to say goodbye. Our only option is a marriage of convenience—a fake relationship—to trick the government, allowing me to stay in my niece’s life permanently.
This fairytale life is too good to be true, and it’s only a matter of time before the clock strikes
😊What i liked -
✔ Marriage Of Convenience/He Falls First/One Bed/Forced Proximity/Found Family.
✔ Ember's character is quite strong and determined.
✔ I liked the way Gabe comes out of his own bubble to take care of Ember and Nova.
✔ I liked a side character or two.
✔ It was a nice easy read.
🤔What could have been better -
✔ I liked it, but somehow it did not wow me.

I’d have to say this book rocked!! I was instantly drawn into the story and it led to a very sleepless night until I finished!! These characters may have become my favorite on the Island of Bellerive, or at least close competition to the original royals of Bellerive from the authors Bellerive Royals series. The characters were pretty relatable accept maybe the billionaire part! They just clicked in all the right places and it warmed my heart and made me feel good. The read was fast and the love was slowly burning the pages!! I would recommend this authors stories to all who like a feel good romance read, but this first installment of the Tuckers of Bellerive should be a must read and I would almost guarantee a story you’ll truly enjoy. I mean fairy tale romance, Cinderella poor to rich and meeting the prince who falls head over heels in love…. what true romantic heart wouldn’t enjoy imagining themselves in the leading roll of that. So read the first book of the Tuckers of Bellerive and feel the love coming off the pages!

This is my first book by Wendy Million and boy am I ready to read some more. You know how they say never judge a book by the cover? Well I am one of those people that does, so when I saw this cover I was worried that it was written in the late 80's or early 90's. Boy am I glad I ignored that thought I had read this story.
We meet the main male character Gabe, who is known as a billionaire playboy. His family does not take him serious and is label guy that never settles down. Little does he know that his life is about to change drastically.
Ember is left to care for her niece, Nova, after her sisters death. Throughout the whole time Ember thought her sister did not know who the baby's father was. After her death she finds Nova's birth certificate and finds the name of the father. On the brink of homeless she reaches out, little does she know her life is also about to change.
Throughout the story we see the changes in both Ember and Gabe. They both are afraid to let the other know what they are felling.
I just fell in love with these characters and their story. I want to thank W. Million for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC and I am leaving this honest review willingly.

I love a good Marriage of Convenience and this was one of them.
My first book by Wendy Million and I liked her writing style..
Book was definitely engaging and retains your attention till the end.
My only issue was that for a marriage of convenience Trope, they don't get married until very late in to the story. I felt there wasn't enough time given as on a quarter of story was left.
Ember is struggling to raise her neuce, after her sister passed away. Ember was such a lovely character and she really puts her all into those she loves. She has tragic past and has insecurities regarding relationships.
When she finally finds the father of her neice, things start to change.
Gage my be a playboy to everyone but when it came to his daughter Nova he jumped into his role and took responsibility. I loved watching his character develop so much.
Gage and Embers flame burn hot and they were the sweetest together.
They both face challenges and situations together.
Plenty of drama, twists, family, found family, love and spice.
Can't wait to read more from W. Million.
