Nina Morrone has always dreamed of becoming an author of romantic comedies. After yet another query rejection hits her inbox, she finds herself wandering the aisles of a local bookstore, all but giving up on her childhood dream. On the edge of breaking, she gives into an intrusive thought of signing a book by her favorite author and runs into trouble when Bennett Jacobs, an old acquaintance of the novelist, spots her. Instead of ratting Nina out to the bookseller, he offers her a fresh, untrained pair of eyes on her manuscript, concluding it's missing all the humor and heart of a good romcom. To rectify this shortcoming, Nina engages in a series of lighthearted adventures with Bennett over the course of a month-not expecting to live out her own happily ever after in the end.

The bell above the entrance door rung, indicating someone had walked in. "We're closed," I called as I swung my head around to face the door. I froze when I saw a tall tan handsome man dressed in an all-black suit standing by the entrance, power and dominance radiating off of him. I closed my mouth quickly when I realised I was staring with my mouth agape. "I was just wondering where Mr Santiago is?" He asked, an Italian accent lacing his voice.

*Sequel to The Moretti Heiress* Everyone knows the names Moretti and Martinez. The families behind billion-dollar companies. The families whispered about in boardrooms and feared in darker places. The families powerful enough to make headlines with a single move. And then there's Livia Martinez. The daughter of Serena Moretti and Kayden Martinez. Quiet. Reserved. More likely to be found reading a book than attending one of her family's extravagant events. Most people overlook her. Livia prefers it that way.

Someone is watching. Someone knows far more about her than they should. And the answers she's searching for may be buried within her own family's past. The problem?

Because the silent heiress is done staying silent. #1 out of 10.5k : spanish #1 out of 11k : hack #2 out of 3.77k : dramaromance #2 out of 14.3k : france #14 out of 16.1k : rivalry #18 out of 164k : mafia
