About this ebook

An enemies-to-lovers, second chance romcom with a secret prince!

Dylan

I’m the crown prince of Villroy, but instead of taking the king’s throne like I should have, my father got us all exiled. I’d complain, but he had good reason. Now our once royal family lives in Brooklyn, and I’m about to inherit a new kingdom: my uncle’s construction business. It’s an opportunity to build my real estate empire and make something of myself. All I need is an experienced person to help take it to the next level. And then the girl who grew up next door to me—all woman now—shows up with just the business experience I need.

Too bad Ariana Bianchi hates me. I used to think it was undeserved—fallout from our families’ longtime feud—but there was this one time…

Ariana

I’m newly divorced and crashing at my parents’ house until I can get my life on track for my ultimate goal of having a baby with the help of a sperm bank. It’s the reason for my divorce—he didn’t want kids—and at thirty-one the clock is ticking. So when the gorgeous pig of a man, Dylan Rourke, shows up at my parents’ house to ask me to work as a consultant for his company, I see an opportunity. He wants something from me? Yeah, well, I want something in return, too.

Only Dylan makes this way more complicated than it needs to be.

Ratings and reviews

I love the Rourkes and Dylan is just as loveable as his Villroy cousins. Ariana and Dylan have known each other their whole lives but nobody expected them to move in together, especially when their families have been feuding for decades. This book is full of familial guilt trips and parental disapproval but also about rebuilding lost connections. It is sweet, sexy, and funny and I think my favourite line from the book is Dylan's not quite apology “I shouldn’t have…whatever you think I did.” it is such a guy thing to say but it made me laugh.

Ariana Bianchi thought she had it all, an awesome job, a loving husband, and a nice house...until she didn’t. Ariana wanted kids and her husband didn’t—at least not with her. After divorcing, Ariana returns home to figure out her life. The one thing she knows for certain is she wants kids. As soon as she finds a job and a place to live, Ariana is heading to the sperm bank! That is until she runs into her mortal enemy—Dylan. Dylan Rouke, aka Crown Prince of Villroy, is about to become CEO of his uncle’s construction business. While he will become CEO, the business will belong to he and his brothers equally. While it’s successful, Dylan wants to breathe new life into the business by adding a real estate venture. Dylan wants to rejuvenate Brooklyn and give back to the community by adding playgrounds or community centers for the children. He convinces his brothers to work with him in this venture, but he needs to find funding. His dad, who was exiled from Villroy for marrying a commoner, wants him to ask his cousin and current King of Villroy for the money. Dylan wants to find another way as it doesn’t feel right. When he discovers Ariana’s background in real estate can help him reach his goal, he offers to hire her as a consultant. Only she has a request of her own... I loved the Hatfield and McCoy feel to the story! Hilarious! If I had a mother like Ariana’s I’d HIDE! She’s what I envision as a true New Yorker! She almost steals the show with her antics. The sidewalk “chats” with Dylan’s mom, even though they were mortal enemies, were priceless! I enjoyed revisiting King Gabriel and Queen Anna. Mila was an absolute doll and PopPop—hugs! This was an EXCELLENT enemies to more story, a true fairy tale! I highly recommend this novel and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I have really enjoyed reading it!!! 😍😍😍
