Intrigued - Arkadie, Z L

Résumé :

In a world of power, secrets, and betrayal, a lonely investigative reporter and a duty-bound billionaire must decide whether to risk everything-including their hearts-to escape their isolation and find love.

Holly Henderson loathes the holidays. With both her parents gone, it's the loneliest time of year. So, when her college roommate, Bryn Blackstone, invites her to the Blackstone estate, Holly sees a chance to connect with a real family-even if their reputation is tainted. As an investigative reporter famous for exposing the dirty secrets of powerful families, Holly should be curious, but she's determined to enjoy herself and mind her own business.

That is, until two things shatter her peace: the electric, undeniable chemistry with Jasper Blackstone, Bryn's older brother and the true force behind the family's wealth and influence-and Bryn's mysterious proposition, which throws Holly into a dangerous game she didn't ask to play.

Jasper Blackstone is feared and desired in equal measure. Duty and sacrifice are his way of life, and that includes an arranged marriage-a deal made to protect his family, one wrapped in blackmail. But Holly's arrival wasn't part of the plan. One look at the bold, enchanting journalist, and something shifts in Jasper. He knows he should send her away, especially since she's a threat to the dangerous secret hidden inside Blackstone Manor. Yet he can't bring himself to do it. Worse, he can't stop wanting her.

As desire grows between them, both Holly and Jasper face a choice: stay trapped in the loneliness that's been their constant companion, or risk everything-even the truth-to find love in the shadows of betrayal.

Will they break free from their pasts, or will their secrets pull them deeper into the darkness?
