Someone is out to make trouble for the Titans. You know a family is a dynasty when their first name is "the." Well actually it's Lexi Titan's spa Venus Envy that's in immediate trouble and it looks like her only hope is to make a deal with Cruz Rodrigues. Cruz has a short list of demands and in exchange Lexi gets the two million dollars to pay off the sudden call on her business loan. The last time they were together was a one nighter ten years ago which it seems made a vivid impression on each of them.
Cruz, as it turns out, was Lexi's first and this ill-fated passionate and hot union was definitely one to beat. But by morning's light Lexi knew her only option was to walk away never expecting to see Cruz again and yet here she was seriously contemplating a deal that would affect her in so many ways. It sounded so simple. All she had to do was pretend to be engaged, move into his house & bed and introduce him to all the "right" people. In return her business would be saved which would keep her in the running for control of Titan World and its holdings. But at what cost?
Titan patriarch Jed has coldly pitted Lexi against her two sisters, Skye and Izzy, winner take all meaning Titan World and the Glory Gate mansion. Cruz and Lexi have thus far been successful in keeping romantic entanglements out of their lives -- both cautious of what damage loving someone can do physically and emotionally. Their successes are built on drive and willingness to take chances and risks. Now all they had to do was keep their eye on the prize. But as Lexi begins to get under his skin Cruz starts to realize that what started out as a simple arrangement evolves into a race with an entirely different prize.
UNDER HER SKIN introduces us to the Titan family and exposes some secrets that have remained well hidden for many years. Now the gates have been opened and in this book Mallery just scratches the surface of the depth and consequences of these secrets. She only hints at what trouble still lays ahead for the family of Jed Titan. This story will certainly continue to entertain and intrigue the reader as we delve deeper into the lives of a very diverse cast of characters in the next book of the Lone Star Sisters series.
Lexi Titan can just see the headlines. All of Titanville will be buzzing. Not that she has any other choice. Faced with exactly thirty days to come up with two million dollars, she is out of options. Marry Cruz Rodriguez or lose everythingβthe successful day spa she built herself, her tyrant of a father's respect. And the long-standing competition with her sisters for the family business.
Cruz has money, success, smoldering good looksβeverything but the blue blood needed to become a true member of Texas society. If Lexi agrees to be his fiancΓ©e for six months, lending him her famous father's influence and connections, he'll hand her a check on the spot. And in six months they'll go their separate ways.
But neither one is prepared for their long-ago shared passion to throw a wrench into what would seem to be the perfect dealβ¦.
