About this ebook

 Renowned photographer Chris Malone is fed up with fame and disaster. All he wants is anonymity and a chance to recharge. Suburban journalist Ellie Flannery has other ideas. If she can just convince her long-time idol to support her favorite cause, she knows her fund-raiser will be a huge success.

After refusing at first, Chris decides to co-operate. When he’s forced to defend his own reputation as well as his family’s, he decides he wants something from the idealistic and sexy-but-doesn’t-know-it Ms Flannery Ellie in return: her heart.

But Ellie has scars that no one has ever seen, and she doesn’t want to open herself up to anyone, much less a man with such an unflinching eye for the truth. Can Chris convince her to strip herself bare, in more ways than one?

Ratings and reviews

"The Millionaire" by Victoria Purman is book one in the Malones" series. This is Chris Malone, renowned photographer, and journalist Ellie Flannery's story. Ellie has always admired Chris' work. Chris and Ellie meet by accident. Their first encounters did not go well. In the end they ended up working together for a charity auction for the Royal Flying Doctors of Australia. Chris and Ellie come from two really different backgrounds. They both have things in their past that they are basically running from. There is definitely chemistry between them. You could feel the sexual tension between them. Will Chris and Ellie take a chance on love? I absolutely loved this story! It was great watching Chris and Ellie fall in love. This story incorporates family dynamics, passion, romance, and two people dealing with their past hurts. The characters were great. I especially loved Ellie's grandparents. I look forward to the next book in this series. I received a copy of this book from Tule Publishing for an honest review. FYI, contains mature content.

Victoria has again written a story that really makes you feel for the characters. Fantastic read. Highly recommend this and all of her books.

I cried a lot :'( and smiled a lot :')
