About this eBook

I’ve craved his love for years, but I was invisible to him. Now that I’m ready to move on, he suddenly sees me. And he won’t let me go.

As the shy, plus-size twin sister of a professional cage fighter, I’m used to being overlooked. Including by the one man I’ve always yearned for. Leo ‘The Lion’ Delaney has trained alongside my brother for years. He’s all the things my brother isn’t—good, honorable, and protective. Not to mention he’s built like Goliath and tattooed to boot. It’s impossible not to want him, but he’s only ever looked at me with disdain.

Then, overnight, everything changes. My arrogant brother is revealed as a cheat and my family is even more focused on him than ever. But I’m no longer interested in playing second fiddle. It’s time to put myself first, and it all starts with proving I’m not the spoiled, thoughtless princess Leo seems to think I am. This curvy woman is about to take charge, and it seems he’s coming along for the ride.

Sparks fly, and before long I’m in deeper with Leo than I ever expected. But when a scandal rocks our fledgling relationship, will we be strong enough to hold onto the possibility of forever?

Author’s note: This is a short romance / novella with a complete standalone romance story of approximately 25,000 words.

Ratings and reviews

Leo & Camila!! Leo never got to know Cami thinking she was just like her brother. A Jerk!! “I don’t have a type,” I say too quickly. I totally do. Curvy blondes with kissable lips and eyes like the sky on a clear summer day. Camilla has always felt inferior to her twin brother. Now he’s been disgraced and it’s her time to shine. Professional fighter Leo “The Lion” Delaney, a notoriously slippery bachelor, has been sighted several times with a mystery woman. The curvy bombshell seems to have wrapped Delaney around her finger. Has the lion finally been tamed? I loved this story. It’s so sweet and sexy. I love how protective Leo is of Cami. You’re my smitten kitten, and I’ll never forget it.”. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Love when the big girls get their man. I like how this story shows a curvy woman standing up for herself and finding true love without having to change who she is physically.

A good read for such a short book. I like how the author introduced other characters without too much attention on them. There was just enough of everything to keep my interest without overdoing anything.
