She’s a spoiled heiress. He’s a hardened police detective. Their marriage is fake … but it doesn’t have to stay that way, does it?

Lucinda Astor has always been a bit of a spoiled brat. At least that’s the way it appears from the outside looking in. She’s the baby of the family, the only girl, and has always had her dad wrapped around her finger.

She’s had a hard couple of years. During that time, she’s become obsessed with someone who helped her. He saved her. He can continue to save her … if only she can figure out how to get him all to herself.

He’s been married, divorced, and is now focused on work and only work. Savage Chenault is a detective and nothing else. He wants the second half of his life to be nothing but cruising down easy street. Then his world becomes a bit more complicated when he meets a twenty-six-year-old princess.

Lucinda Astor is sexy as sin. She’s also thirty years his junior. She’s everything he shouldn’t want. She’s spoiled. She’s young. She’s going to want a family. But more importantly, she’s going to have expectations.

The marriage may begin fake, but can it stay that way?

We are really enjoy this series but, I have to say that in this new story, Savage became my favorite characters in the series so far.

Savage was an awesome character, he was hot and sexy all alpha a protective and even though he was an alpha we got to see that he too had issues with vulnerability. Loved seeing that side of Savage, it just made us fall harder for him. We knew from the start that no matter his issues he had concerning Lucinda, he was a one and done from the moment he met her. This couple's chemistry was off the charts as they sizzled together in and out of bed, Call it fate, nothing even their huge age gap will keep them apart.

Lucinda was a character that grew throughout the story, she gained confidence and a bit of spunk in the sense she was started getting a backbone and became more vocal in standing up for herself and for the choices she made and also for the man she had fallen in love with.

We really enjoyed the story overall, from the moment you started turning the pages you were already intrigued and had you already rooting for this couple which seemed doomed from the start. As the story progressed it was a constant mystery that needed solving and Lucinda seemed to be the key but, as the story played out, I have to say that we never saw who all the key players were, to the very end, and we loved that and were surprised to say the least. The story engaged your emotions and heart, as Miss Faiman never seems to fail to make you fall in love with her characters.

Thoughts on 
Lucinda's mom we want to see her mother get her just deserts, and we want to be front and center of that show  because that woman is pure evil to the very bone...

 

As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in  Oregon, where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.
