Jane and
Eric de Vries.
Often
enemies. Sometimes lovers.
Husband and
wife. Or are we?
I wore the
dress. We said the vows.
And somehow
it became more than just a stunt to collect his billions.
A promise
bound by love, not hate.
Until he
humiliated me in front of all of New York and disappeared.
Now my
errant husband has returned, and it's like I never existed.
Except when
he looks at me like he wants to rip my dress from my body.
Something's
holding him back. And I won't rest until I discover its cause.
See, this
wild heir is about to find out: karma's a fickle mistress.
My weapons?
Batting eyelashes, high heels, and that red lipstick he can't resist.
I'll break
down his mask, little by little. And then I'll make him pay for what he did.
I just need
to keep my heart in check while I do it.
AVAILABLE NOW
REVIEW
Nicole French has woven the threads of this story so well together that even when I wanted to hit someone or yell, I still couldn't walk away because of a desperate need to see things play out as they will. I couldn't wait to see how things worked out between Jane and Eric and if they could overcome everything thrown their way and work together to move forward. I need to know the rest of the story, to see things through and get all of the answers.
If you are looking for a story with suspense, drama, love, hate, secrets and more - look no further than this series, but be warned they'll suck you in and leave you desperate for more.
Eric de
Vries.
Looks like
millions. Worth billions.
A body like
the David with a mind to match.
Unfortunately
for this wayward heir, to keep his money, he needs a wife.
And of all
the women in the world, he chooses me.
Too bad I've
hated him for five years, since he took all my tears and tossed me away. The
guy slept his way through half of New England and discarded women like hotel
toiletries.
Been there.
Done that.
Still...what
would you do for twenty million dollars?
Would you
wear the dress?
Fake a smile
for the man who broke your heart?
Or would you
run far, far away?
Yeah, that's
what I thought.
I'll see you
at the church.

REVIEW
I've long been a fan of the fake engagement/marriage/ Marriage of convenience trope. This book had extra drama in addition to that which made it all the more enticing to me.
Eric de Vries finds himself in quite the situation when he returns home after many years away to the family he left behind, for good reasons. He shouldn't be shocked at the reason for his return but he is. To say Eric's family relationships are complicated is putting it very lightly - but digging in to the depths of those complications really drew me in further to the man.
Jane Lefferts has her own complicated history with Eric and finds herself on the other end of a shocking proposal from him. I really loved Jane - from moment one when we meet her on the page, she called to me as a woman who did her own thing and though she had worries, she didn't let them overrun her life on the daily.
I adore the interactions between Jane, the banter, the "hate", and everything in between just built up the story and kept my attention. I couldn't wait to see what would come their way next and how they'd handle it.
There's more to this story than a rich boy doing his family's bidding and a woman accepting a bargain for all the wrong (or are they right) reasons. There's secrets and pain and loss and so much more twisted into a story that will keep you hooked
Nicole French is an East Coast/West Coast hybrid creature, Springsteen fanatic, hopeless romantic, and total bookworm.
When not writing fiction or teaching writing classes, she is hanging out with her family, playing soccer with the rest of the thirty-plus crowd in Seattle, or going on dates with her husband.
In her spare time, she likes to go running with her dog, Greta, or practice the piano, but never seems to do either one of these things as much as she should.
