I know what you’re thinking. Young design student. Rich, handsome billionaire. I’m a kept woman, a sugar baby. That’s what all my friends say, at least. And maybe they’re right. Paul Crane has it all: wealth, fame, and stunning good looks. Despite all that, I ran as far away from him as I could—all the way back home. Back to my loving family, endless medical bills, and twisted past. But Paul can’t seem to stop rescuing me…even from myself. He’s willing, and all I must give him is everything. And I do, all the way to Rome. It’s like a dream come true. But really, it’s just a fantasy, and I want the real thing. Deep down, I know Paul loves me, but grief and fear have trapped his heart in chains. And now, I may have just ruined my one chance at setting our love free… More books on my Amélie S.
