Everlynne znovu objevuje sebe sama, když vtom se znovu vynoří přízrak minulosti. Není nic horšího než být zamilovaná do dvou mužů. Zvlášť když vás jeden z nich nenávidí.

From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a witty romance about a woman desperate to marry into money...and her fake marriage to a (real) billionaire reluctant to commit even to a zip code. Riggs Bates may be a billionaire, but he knows money can't buy happiness. He keeps his financial status a secret and takes his women the same way he takes his meals--a different one three times a day. That's until he's caught sleeping with a married newswoman by none other than her ambitious assistant. Daphne "Duffy" Markham wants two things in life: marry well and stay in the States. So when her almost-fiancé takes off to "find himself" and her work visa approaches expiration, Duffy resorts to the only thing she has left--blackmail. Luckily, Riggs needs an excuse to stay in New York as badly as she does, so their first meeting quickly leads to a begrudging engagement. Armed with strict house rules and their mutual distaste for one another, Riggs and Duffy soon find there's no denying the spark between them...or the fact that this fake marriage is starting to feel a little too real.

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending. Luna Rexroth is everyone's favorite wallflower. Sweet. Caring. Charitable. Quiet. Fake. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants-namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love. Knight Cole is everyone's favorite football hero. Gorgeous. Athletic. Rugged. Popular. Liar. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street- Luna. But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn't need his protection anymore. When life throws a curveball at All Saints' golden boy, he's forced to realize not all knights are heroes. Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody genius. They say this place is haunted, and it is. Carlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets.
