Fake Marriage, 2nd Chance, Enemies to Lovers, Secret Baby Romance
What lengths is Senator Michael Harding willing to go for his political dreams? When his first-class campaign team says he needs to get married to present the right image now that he's been short-listed as a vice-presidential candidate, he agrees. Anything is tolerable for a period of time, especially when carefully negotiated. But when the woman they choose is the gold-digging ex who deserted him when he needed her most, he has to draw the line.
Is a long-awaited lifeline, worth submitting to the devil himself? For Ava D'ambrogio Burgh, this marriage deal is the only way she can give her son the care he needs. She was shattered when Michael destroyed their relationship but she's prepared this time. She knows what to expect and she can endure anything for the sake of her son.
Will Michael and Ava be able to convince the world that they are in love without forgetting that they are enemies for a reason?
I enjoyed this short read. There were a few moments when I had to go back and re-read a sentence because I felt something was missing that could have been hashed out more; however, it wasn't anything that would stop me from enjoying this delicious storyline.
Who doesn't love the idea of being saved? I enjoyed the characters, and my whole heart was with the little boy in the story. I loved this particular trope because it wasn't overplayed like so many. The male character wasn't so obnoxious that I wanted to smack him; the author made him just the right amount of snarky, and I wanted to love him and wanted the girl in the story to give him a chance.
I felt it had the right ingredients and kept the storyline moving along. The sidelines that were added made it so much more interesting than stories that I feel lacked the depth that this author put into it, and I appreciated those. I felt a little twist like Bridgerton here, which I adored, and I would love to read more from her in the future.
