About this ebook

Max Grove is more than just a man; he's my best friend's brother and the world's most coveted billionaire bachelor. 

I’m also compelled to acknowledge that he embodies intelligence, success, and power. 

Everyone desires a piece of him. Every woman dreams of becoming his one true love. 

Unfortunately for them, Max Grove’s heart belongs to just one woman—a woman who has vowed never to surrender her heart to him. And that’s where our story begins, because that woman is me.

As the lines between hatred and love blur in our Lake Como hideaway, will I choose the safety of solitude or the peril that comes with opening my heart to Max?

Prepare for a whirlwind of emotion in the spellbinding finale of the 'Romancing the Boss and Billionaire' series. "Once Upon An Unrequited Love" isn't just a STANDALONE romance; it's a heart-stirring love story that promises intense longing, undeniable chemistry, and the sweetest Happily Ever After.

“Oh, Lake,” he whispers, drawing me against him, spooning me, enveloping me within the warmth of his body. “You can’t fear death or love.” I close my eyes as the gentle kiss he places on my shoulder sends a fresh flutter of butterflies through my belly. “One thing is for certain, we’re all going to die one day. But true love, that’s not guaranteed. And I can love you, Lake. I can love you until I take my last breath…”

Ratings and reviews

In the final instalment of the series, R.T.B. concludes with Lake and Max's love story. Their story unfolds at a more leisurely pace, emphasizing the vulnerability and growth of both characters as they navigate the process of un-guarding their hearts to find love in each other. While the tempo didn't entirely resonate with me, I could appreciate it for the character development. However, personally, I would have preferred a more sizzling passion in the narrative to conclude the spicy series.

awfully good😊
