From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. Shen comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about the fine line between seeking revenge and finding love.

When she was young, Arya Roth became best friends with her housekeeper’s son. Soon, friendship turned to young love, and when Arya dared him to kiss her, a chain reaction of disastrous events led to the boy being sent away and out of Arya’s life.

Now, two decades later, Arya is an on-the-rise publicist with her beloved father as one of her biggest clients. So when her father is sued by a former employee, Arya sets out to prove that her father is not the monster he is accused of being. The only problem is the attorney who is determined to destroy her father’s good name. Christian Miller is charming, ambitious, and devilishly good looking, and Arya has no idea he is that same boy who kissed her all those years ago.

Past and present collide as Arya falls hard for Christian. But when she finds out who he really is and about his obsession with getting revenge on her father, can she choose love over family?

I love LJ Shen & all of her characters in this book. Especially Christian, I'm worshiping the ground he walks on.

I've listened to all of LJ Shen's books. I'm grateful to have so many astonishingly well written book boyfriends now, 😉.....and those voices !!!!! The narration is perfect, wel, what can you expect with this collaboration.

Now I'm off to listen to 'Atonement' ......you'll understand why 💚

Apologies if there are spelling mistakes in the above, couldn't find my glasses for love nor money

💘 oh my heart! *clutches heart*

I have loved nearly everything LJ Shen has written. This was ok, but not my favorite…I think it’s because I just really didn’t like Aria and found it hard to relate to the attitude/decisions she made. I did like that Christian/Nici did seem to truly understand the person she was and loved her anyway and I guess there is someone for everyone!

Ok

This is a slow burn romance with plenty of angst and twist and turns. The story as a quite engaging storyline with lots of complexity.

l loved every minute
