Romance Contemporary

Logan Crawford runs smack-dab into Emma Wadsworth at a neighborhood bookstore and drenches the unassuming beauty with a full mocha latte. Immediately taken with her, Logan woos Emma into letting him make it up to her. Actually, he makes it up to her in ways she's never experienced before. Poor Emma is a Philadelphia's "Princess on the Hill." She's heiress to a fortune and has family ties dating back to President George Washington. Her philandering husband has recently died, leaving her a happy widow, as he appears to have been abusive and had a secret life. The "princess" was really imprisoned in a miserable castle for 16 years married to this man. Logan is an up-and-coming Donald Trump. He's buying up property around the county and is a wheeler-dealer in aspects of his life. He's a playboy business man with a Hollywood-style following when it comes to the paparazzi. He's spent his entire adulthood with silicone-injected women throwing themselves at him, but he's never been in love until he accidentally runs into Emma and his whole world is rocked. These two high-profile lovers cause quite a stir as it seems one of Logan's vengeful past conquests has it out for Emma and has insider knowledge of Emma's husband's dirty deals. A story fit for the tabloids snares the reader and makes this book as addictive as that first mocha latte. I couldn't put it down and kept going back for more.

SUMMARY

Life has delivered one sucker punch after another to Emma Wadsworth. As a matter of fact, you could say the poor little rich girl is the ultimate poster child for Money Can’t Buy Happiness — even if she is no longer a child. Billionaire real estate stud Logan Crawford is as famous for his less-than-platinum reputation as he is his business empire. In thirty-eight years he’s never fallen in love, and that’s just fine with him — until he meets Emma. But Emma’s not buying into Logan’s seductive ways. Well, maybe just a little, but she’s definitely going into the affair with her eyes wide open. She’s no fool. At least not any more. Her deceased husband saw to that. Besides, she knows Logan will catch the first jet out of Philadelphia once he learns her secrets. Except things don’t go exactly as Emma has predicted, and when Philadelphia’s most beloved citizen become the city’s most notorious criminal, she needs to do a lot more than clear her name if she wants to save her budding romance with the billionaire hunk someone is willing to kill for.
