About this ebook

Immerse yourself in this utterly addictive forbidden love story that has captivated thousands of readers around the world.

“We are not meant to be together. I should’ve known better. And yet…”

Petra, a seventeen-year-old Dutch-American and the only heir of finance tycoon Roy Van Gatt, has always had her life rigorously planned and supervised by her strict father. From her internship at his hedge fund firm on Wall Street to her degree in Economics at Columbia University, Petra is all set for a bright future in finance.

But everything falls apart when she develops a dangerous relationship with her father’s business partner and utmost confidant, Alexander Van Dieren. A Dutch nobleman, known as an unrepentant heartbreaker, twenty-three years her senior, and who is, above all else, her beloved godfather.

A twisted obsession for some, unconditional love for others, but one thing is sure: it’s a relationship that might cost them everything...

This book is for mature audiences.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely amazing, this is one of the greatest books I've ever read!! This book is so jaw dropping, I couldn't put it down for one second when I started reading. The ending was a little rushed, but still amazing!! Such a magnificent writer ❤

I wanted to get into it, but it was so uncomfortable. 17 yo girl getting involved with her 40 yo Godfather who likes to remember her as a child and how he loved her even then? she goes from naive sheltered child to raunchy sex kitten in like 3 days and there is zero focus on her side of the intimate exchanges. The lack of detail or interest on her side of the pleasure and repetitive use of the word "soaked" leads me to suspect that this was written by a male author, not female. It reads like a cheesy porn.

Wow! I couldn't put this book down. Fantastic read and I can't wait to start the next book in the series.
