Some may say, you marry the one you love based on level of trust, compatibility, and how happy they make you. 

But trust comes with Truth, yet some truth is always hidden from the one that means most. 

Carla Stanford can vouch for this, as her husband had hidden secrets from her. Secrets she would never of knew, if it wasn't for that fatal day he died. 

Part of her is ashamed to say she married somebody she didn't know, and the other is heartbroken that he couldn't tell her such a simple thing. 

Now she's a billionaire, as she's left with all of his possessions. Including the £200 million in a secret bank account she had no clue about. As well as a house he owned.

Despite all this, she loved her husband, and is struggling to move on without him. 

Until she meets Cade, the man who's heart and trust has been broken, and is the new decorator she's hired. She never thought she could meet anyone, and feel the way she did about Max, yet she's coming face-to-face with powerful feelings for a man she doesn't even know. 

Cade Bronx is the typical sandy blonde hair, muscular, male that has all the women swooning. The past few months have been nothing but difficult, tragic, and regular feelings of hopelessness; until he meets Carla. 

Carla has bleach blonde strands, dry from dying it, however is still endlessly gorgeous. Her soft curves - the opposite to his usual type: big breasts, and curvy hips - have his hands twitching to touch them. She's the complete opposite to him, but is stirring all sorts of thoughts putting his heart at risk.

Will the two completely different people overcome their pasts and fall in love?All Rights Reserved
