He knows her secret.
But he'll never tell...
It would cost him a fortune.
Strong, independent Jean Hill is stuck in a dead end job with no hope for getting out of her small town. But when a sexy and mysterious stranger offers her an opportunity for wealth, prestige, and power, Jean can't refuse the offer.
But there's more to Colin Carter than Jean realizes. With ulterior motives and a plot for revenge, Colin might not be the prince charming she thinks he is. And she's about to realize that sometimes the bad guy wins. AMAZON 4 STARS
An interesting storyline, with enough surprises to keep you going. Colin is a really good looking, really tough guy. People knew to back off when they encountered him in the bar, or on the street. He just radiates with the sense of being dangerous. And according to the description, he's built for it too.
Jean while having had a terrible upbringing and having to work and struggele for anything she had, still managed to keep a good heart. Hard to do with the mother that she has. Her mother seems to remember her when she needs something...usually money. Jean lived her life with a good moral code. She was as honest as the day is long. Which presents a problem when Colin shows up. She knows he's trouble the minute he shows up and interferes/helps her at her job as a waitress. But like the book blub says he's not the good guy and he's there because he needs her. And he only tells her a part of the story, he's hiding more of the truth from her. I liked both of the main characters even though Colin isn't all good. It is fun to watch him begin to squirm as he tries not to like Jean. That seems to be a losing battle though, because she just has a way about her with people. And she also learns how to get under his skin, with well placed sassy comments every so often. She knows she shouldn't but she just can't resist trying to get the last word. It made me smile!
There is plenty of things going on, both emotionally and physically. And there is also action, danger and a mystery or two as well. I liked it and the story just flowed.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
