About this ebook

A new heartfelt and suspenseful stand-alone novel from New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo.

How much is love worth?

He pays her rent the day they meet.
Now, he wants more.
He wants to protect her.
But who will protect her from him?

Twenty-two-year-old Kristin and her single mom have always struggled to make ends meet. When her mother’s body begins to deteriorate after many back-breaking years of working as a housekeeper, Kristin must say farewell to her college dreams and hello to a full-time job waitressing. She doesn’t really mind. After all, giving up on her dreams will be her penance for that one horrible night. 

Her luck begins to turn when she meets Daniel Meyers. Daniel is handsome and funny, but most importantly, he wants to get to know the real Kristin. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also extremely wealthy and intent on protecting her. Kristin feels safe with him. 

A romantic weekend at his beach house in the Hamptons takes a dangerous turn for the worse, and Kristin finds herself confessing details of the awful night that changed her life. But she can’t shake the feeling that Daniel may be keeping a dark secret of his own…

Ratings and reviews

I really liked both Kristin and Daniel. I think they were both relatable and sympathetic characters. I liked Daniel almost immediately even while wondering what he may be hiding. Kristin is struggling in her life but she keeps on going and doing her best. Both have secrets that slowly get revealed so the suspense build up was good. The romance is both sweet and enjoyable to see their connection grow as they get to know and appreciate each other. I felt they really liked each other for real reasons not just instalove. I really like knowing why the characters have feelings for each other. I've read other books by this author and this was a bit different which shows her range. I've enjoyed everything I've read by her. I highly recommend this book. It's got romance,suspense and secrets. I received an ARC from the author for my honest review

Kristin is smart, creative, and a loyal daughter. She would love to pursue her art, but instead she has a dead end job so she can support her mom. It seems as if karma is playing yet another joke on her when a sexy stranger steps in. Daniel is rich and seemingly out of her league, but he's also around whenever she runs into problems. Kristin is not some damsel in distress, as she is strong and independent. She's swept away by him, his protectiveness, and a surprising chemistry. Both are loyal to their families and have secrets that could end a quickly deepening relationship before it really begins. The Heiress is sexy and surprising as secrets are revealed. Told in both POVs, Cassia Leo shifts between the past and present with unique and flawed characters. I voluntarily read an advanced copy.
