She enjoyed being off everyone's radar in the small town of Luxberg. She had a small group of friends, an adoring family, and a love for her town. That was until the Parkers moved in across the street. A new friend with a tattooed god for an older brother changes Gabby's normal little life upside down. She finds herself fascinated by Jackson Parker, especially by his criminal past-which is filed away in sealed records. Not even her father, the town police officer, will spill as to what her new neighbor did to put himself behind bars. Jackson seems to be just as fascinated with Gabby Brooks, the daughter of his probation officer/town cop. His eyes are set on making her the next victim of his playful games, just to piss off her dad. Even with her father's warnings to stay away from the new neighbors, Gabby finds herself breaking the rules for the first time in her life. It brings out the best and the worst of the people she trusts the most, including herself. Secrets she didn't even know she carried are brought to light, shaking the town to its core.

Elle Jones, cansada da monotonia, decidiu sair de sua pequena cidade no menor estado dos Estados Unidos para enfrentar as loucuras de Nova Iorque, um dos maiores centros turístico e econômico do país. Com uma carreira em ascensão como designer de joias na Lower, maior empresa do ramo no país, o amor nunca foi sua prioridade até ser obrigada a comparecer em um encontro às escuras. Nele, ela conhece Enzo, um homem próximo ao topo da perfeição. A única coisa que o impede de ganhar o troféu de homem maravilha é sua personalidade arrogante e irônica. Elle achou que o veria pela primeira e última vez naquele encontro desastroso, uma suposição errada, já que logo em seguida, Enzo aparece como herdeiro da Lower, pronto para tomar o lugar da mãe como atual presidente. Com a surpresa, ela descobre que ele é um dos homens mais cobiçados das nova-iorquinas, que não se importam de estarem casadas, solteiras ou viúvas para conseguirem conquistar o sobrenome Lower. Agora, Elle tem muitos problemas para enfrentar: a gerente que inferniza sua vida, as melhores amigas que entraram em um relacionamento sério e a pressionam para fazer o mesmo, o irmão que não para de chamá-la de "tiazona", a irmã mais nova que irá casar antes dela e o pai que está para chegar em Nova Iorque em uma visita e espera conhecer o pretendente de sua última filha solteira. Para conseguir ultrapassar todos os obstáculos será necessário muita determinação, paciência e, quem sabe, uma ajudinha extra do chefe de comportamento ambíguo. -- Livro disponível na Amazon (com conto extra exclusivo!): https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/B07859ZCWL/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512244942&sr=8-2&keywords=natashia+kitamura Acompanhe novidades sobre a autora pelo grupo do facebook: http://facebook.com/groups/natashiamk
