Rate this book
Can be read as a standalone story.

My father's crimes made headlines.

His murder made me a target.

I changed my name and disappeared into a town so small, no one would think to look.

Then Kenneth Tierney found me anyway.

This billionaire farmer saw through my disguise in seconds.

Worse? He wants me.

"You're mine now," he says, like it's already decided.

I came here to hide from my past.

He's determined to give me a future.

Even if my father's enemies come hunting.

Even if I'm too broken to be anyone's wife.

Kenneth doesn't just want to protect me.

He wants to love me, heal me, marry me.

And this relentless man always gets what he wants.

This is a different storyline for the Members from Money stories!

Kenneth and Aria aka Lydia had a surprising reaction to each other upon meeting. Kenneth was struck by Aria's beauty and how his heart reacted to her, while Aria was so devastated from former treatment by men she wanted to love her, that she tried pushing Kenneth away. Escaping the scandal and subsequent life ending of her cold and distant parents, and the loss of everything she grew up enjoying saw her settling in small town America. In the small town of Birchwood Aria finds herself, and the unconditional love of a billionaire (season 2) Member from Money business owner. In Kenneth's dad she gets the love her father never showed her and under the love and care of the three Tierney men, Aria thrives and finds a permanent home. I love how you weave the daily living and acceptance of people otherwise considered outsiders by the residents of the small towns in your stories. I find I don't want to miss any of your stories including the standalone stories. This was good suspense filled reading and I loved every word of it. Thank you Katie.

Fantastic

Well I'm always happy and excited to read the new book by Katie Dowe. Then she completely swept me away with the Kenneth and Ari's story. This is another amazing, swoon-worthy romance. Aria Copeland is a successful lawyer but she is having emotional problems because of the scandal so she disappears with a new name. There the small town billionaire Kenneth Tierney is curious about the new woman but when he meets her there's an instant connection, and an incredibly he found his forever love. But Ari isn't ready for friends and she wants to be very off limits. Despite how she reacts to him Kenneth is determined make Ari fall in love with him and he refuses to acknowledge her trying to get rid of him. The longing and emotional upheaval in this book is matched only by the incredible setting that has me wanting to visit Birchwood. It is aching and beautiful and I didn’t want it to end. This book is a dream and you will enjoy this couple. I highly recommend.

Love,Love The Read

First. I love the cover…
She was running from her unbearable past without knowing she was heading towards her destiny . It took a man unconditional love that is so grand and profound to heal her abusing heart. Kenneth Tierney was one heck of a man and all the Tierney men for that matter.
I hope they make a full household of little Tierneys !!
Awesome read!!

😍😍😍Kenneth the Fierce

I have never read a Katie Dowe 📕that I did not absolutely luv & this one is no exception!!! Kenneth is a living dream of a man - a fiercely protective, golden retriever who loves his broken Aria passionately. Aria had the parents from the bowels of hell, who ruined their lives ( and hers) through their unbridled greed. They deserved their demise & I’m so happy Aria found Kenneth 😍The epilogue was the chef’s 💋

True Love

When Kenneth first laid eyes on Lydia aka Aria, he knew she was the woman he was going to marry. Aria had her baggage, however that didn’t deter Kenneth. Lydia/Aria felt emotions she never felt before and tried to ignore them, but it was impossible. The two were inseparable!! True love prevails! Great read

Kenneth

I enjoyed reading the love story of Kenneth and Aria. It began with a first sight and felt in love. This book contains intrigue, emotional abuse, determination, persistence, death, suicide, guilt, drama, dreams, hope, Faith, and allowing love to prevail. I will be recommending this novel to everyone I know!!!

Fantabulous!!

Well written story and well developed characters.
She is a lawyer and a very good one. But a scandal at her firm and a lot of publicity sent her into hiding! A very small town is just what she needs and wants. Will she be able to disappear and get the peace that she is looking for? Or maybe more complications!

Kenneth

Storytelling was awesome and it was so refreshing to see that Kenneth was really all in and so passionate with Aria! He was like I am going to marry her! Glad Jack Jr. was a decent person & refused to turn on Aria 🥰🥰

Someone to love us.

They were looking for us and didn't know we have been found out, just when I thought it was going to get worse the best thing happened.

Sorrow Into Joy

Such a lovely story! A little tragic, a lot steamy, a bounty of transformative love. Sigh. The Katie Dowe stories are consistently familiar yet fresh every time!

Loved the intrigue.

I thought this story celebrated love it had lovemaking in it but wasn’t explicit which I appreciated. All in all a good story.

Okay read. The writing was a bit over the top and sometimes irrelevant. The plot of the story was good, but the execution fell short...an okay read though.
