”The sensual tension and chemistry is off the charts!” @taysreadingnook
A fake persona, a blossoming career and a CEO she hates and desires in equal measure. What could go wrong?
Lottie Matheson has everything going for her: wealth and privilege, single-minded ambition and a brand new graduate job in the thick of London’s thrilling start-up scene.
But Lottie Matheson isn’t who she seems. Hiding behind a false identity to distance herself from a troubled background, Lottie becomes embroiled in an affair with her brilliant and charismatic but famously attached CEO Marcus Armstrong. But, as their relationship intensifies, their colleagues become suspicious, and before long, the secrets are out. All of them.
With everything broken – her heart, her reputation, her spirit – will Lottie ever find the strength to start again?
