He's a wealthy playboy with too many notches on his bed post to count. She's an heiress to a political dynasty with a secret that could put everything in jeopardy.
Elise Van der Poole / Aubrey Red
Everything in me told me that I needed Tanner. He was smart, witty, charming, incredibly sexy and able to do things to my body that I didn’t previously know possible. Hell, he even shared an interest in cars with me. If I had met him any other day, maybe things would have turned out differently. Unfortunately, I met him on the day that I was engaged, and that complicated things a bit.
Tanner Marx
The moment I saw her, I knew I had to have her. I didn't know what it was about her; maybe it was those pouty red lips, her biting sense of humor or maybe it was the effortless way she handled my Jag that made me unbearably hard. What I expected to be a one-night stand became something so much bigger. All I wanted was every last bit of Aubrey, but she was intent on keeping her real life a secret from me. Add to that my long-lost delinquent sister moving in with me and my life just took a sudden turn to crazyville.
This book follows the events of Carrying Hope it stands on its own as a story, but if you enjoy this, you should really give Marcie and Bryce a chance!
Elise Van der Poole's life isn't her own, not really, she's an extension of her parents our first introduction to her is at her parents annual 'end of summer' bash where Elise's engagement is announced, not only did Elise have no idea she was getting engaged but she's never even met her betrothed. To say she's not happy is an understatement but what can she do her life is planned out for her, well not all her life, she does have a huge secret one which her parents would never approve of. Tanner is a playboy, the king of one-night stands but then he sees Elise for the first time, yes he wants her but it's more than that. This is a nice enough little read and the characters are likeable.
