About this ebook

Chemistry explodes for one guarded billionaire in this forced proximity romance by Clare Connelly. A twist on the classic fairy tales "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast."

Until she breached his walls!

Tormented by the guilt of his past, Thirio Skartos hides in the shadows of his Alpine castle. He’s deprived himself of the wild pleasures he used to crave. Until Lucinda Villeneuve makes it beyond his imposing steel-reinforced door.

Wedding planner Lucinda must persuade the superrich recluse to hire her. It’s the only way to reclaim her rightful place in her father’s company. But when a storm leaves her stranded, she has no choice but to stay… And to resist a totally forbidden night in Thirio’s powerful arms!

Ratings and reviews

Hoping to start her own business, wedding planner Lucinda approaches Thirio with her proposal for his sister's nuptials. Will her gentle spirit help the scarred and reclusive billionaire out of his guilt over his parents' deaths? This is a clever mashup of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. It's steamy with a strong fairy tale feel. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
