Up From The Ashes

She’s not who he thinks she is. He never would’ve fallen for her if he knew the truth. All Bianca wanted was a quiet escape. A chance to mourn in peace before returning to a life in shambles after a public scandal. Pretending to be rising supermodel Britney O'Prey? Definitely not her smartest move. Especially not on Cupid’s Cove, the private island owned by tech billionaire and notorious playboy, Will Hunter. Every year, Will invites a hundred elite guests to his personal paradise, offering pleasure with no strings attached. Once on Cupid's Cove, he sets his sights on Britney. She’d be the face of his new airline. He’d get a one and done hook up. It should have been that simple. Until they meet. She’s not what he expected. Sinfully beautiful yes, but also fiery, witty, and clearly running from something. Far too complicated for the likes of him. He should’ve walked away. Instead, he welcomes the challenge. He wants her. Badly. When he finally seduces her, he’s convinced a one night stand will cure his obsession. He’s wrong. One night becomes two, then a month-long tryst neither of them can quit. But Bianca is hiding more than her identity. She's a broken hearted woman with nothing left to give. She told herself it was just a fling. He told himself she was just another fuck. Now he's falling fast... And she has no idea what to do. Because the woman he can't keep his hands off doesn't exist. Does she take a leap of faith and offer him the truth about who she is? Will he want the real woman behind the lie? Or was the fantasy all he ever truly loved?

At the dinner table, my wife's best friend suddenly speaks to her in Lytian. "Three years ago, you married Julian in a grand wedding just to help Jace get Julian's letter of forgiveness. Over the years, I've seen Julian fall more and more deeply in love with you. Yet, you're still lying to him. "You gave him sterilization pills but passed them off as his depression medication. Aren't you afraid that he'll fall apart if he finds out the truth?" My wife, Erica Inman, briefly shows a conflicted expression on her face.
