Rate this book
A devastating betrayal. A man driven to seclusion. A woman with a devoted heart.
Perplexities of their private lives threaten their reputations. Can love thrive in the face of truth?
Billionaire Ian Ansaldo isn’t all he appears to be. On the outside, stoic, cold-blooded and as razor-sharp as his jawline. But on the inside, his heart breaks for only one, his eight-year-old daughter. Devastated by her sudden critical illness, he begrudgingly entrusts a beautiful doctor to save her life.

Doctor Eveangelina Pope is chief of pediatric oncology and a self-confessed workaholic. Her compassion for her patients is crippling her emotionally, forcing the need for a secret double life. When her desires and proclivities are not in keeping with her professional image, she worries it might ruin her career.

When Ian finds himself drawn to Eveangelina, he must choose between keeping his own longings cloistered or risking all for a chance at love. A simple mistake changes everything, and Eveangelina’s shaken when her darkest secrets unfold.

This grumpy single dad romance, is perfect if you like provocative characters with enigmatic pasts and fateful circumstances that draw them together.

Theresa is blessed to be married to her main man for thirty-six years. She knows what it takes to have a loving, lasting relationship. Her husband keeps her laughing after all this time. Tips on keeping the sparks alive along with the witty banter appear in her writing regularly. Her tagline “Add some spice to your life, read Romance” is a clever way of describing the feelings her writing evokes.

Love stories, a little suspense, and the happily ever after are Theresa’s prescriptions to keep you smiling. She is ecstatic to share her characters with the world and entertain her readers. Her big Italian family extends throughout the country with a rich and flavorful history. Much of that history spurs ideas for the stories she creates. Make sure you visit the Art Imitates Life in the back of every one of her books. It’s fun to see where ideas are born.

This book was terrible. It was another TikTok-hyped book that I am convinced everyone was paid to read. The writing is awful, unnecessarily formal, and rushed. The plot had potential, but it was predictable and I honestly could not get past how bad the writing was. Hard pass on this author.

Ducati and Lamborghini oh my

A cute story that had your second guessing for a minute. As much as I knew who MM was, we were thrown little detours to take us off that path. A doctor/ escort, a billionaire dad, and a whole lot of drama.
Sone of the side characters that work at the club are horrible people but you can get past them.
A cute story

Double life

When both main characters are living a double life and theirs worlds come crashing together. I loved that all the side characters had their own story that intertwined with the past. Having a doctor that loves children so much and feels everything they are going through!
