The Golden Mail #1
Hot Off the Press
"This is what really happened… reported by a free press, for a free people…"
Wes Shaw leads a secret double life.
As the secret owner of a billion dollar newspaper empire, he's one of the richest men in the world. But to the staff at The Golden Mail, Wes is just an ordinary, workaholic editor. Wes is sure that nobody can ever get close enough to uncover his secret. That is until he hires Julia, one of the best journalists in the business. Too smart for her own good, and too beautiful for Wes to resist, Julia might finally be his undoing.
Julia Bancroft doesn't know it, but Wes is her boss. When she starts her new job at The Golden Mail, she's convinced that her handsome editor is hiding something. No man has ever distracted her from her job as a journalist, but broody, gorgeous Wes holds her interest far more than any newspaper story.
When she and Wes head to South Africa on an assignment to uncover dangerous poachers, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore.
Soon, they're alone together in the wilderness, and Julia is struggling to keep things professional with Wes. Can his secrets stay buried or will his all-consuming desire for Julia threaten to expose everything?

Well written
This well written book has good storytelling, interesting characters, and realistic dialogue. The idea of an owner hiding as a regular worker to donsome good in the world is definitely a bonus.

Can’t wait to read the next part of the series
February 26, 2020
Up front, I want to say be aware that this is a first in a series, and while it doesn’t exactly end on a cliff-hanger, there is certainly no resolution or completion to the story, so be prepared either to be disappointed, or to be ready to go on to the next book. I, for one, fall into the disappointed category, as the story doesn’t interest me enough to continue the series.
I thought the premise of the story sounded really interesting. It started off well, and I loved the parts about the story they were investigating, but I grew very tired of the two main characters being so distracted with each other while investigating a poaching ring in South Africa. I likes the characters and thought they complemented each other well. I just got really tired off him obsessing over her finding out his true identity and both of them obsessing over each other.
While I appreciate the author’s attempt at a deeper story, I wish it would have had more of the intensity and the suspense of the poaching story, and a bit less of the focus on sex and the push/pull (should I or shouldn’t I?) of the relationship. Left me underwhelmed.
