Bratinella Series 1: After the Fallout

"I was born to run this company."

That's what Reese Villareal has always believed. As the favorite granddaughter of a business tycoon, she's lived a life of luxury-designer clothes, private jets, and zero responsibilities. Why worry about work when her birthright is already set in stone?

But everything crumbles the day her Lolo suffers a stroke. While he fights for his life in the ICU, her own family shows their true colors: plotting behind her back to take over the empire and cut her out for good.

Devastated but not defeated, Reese knows she can't win this alone. The only person who ever matched her grandfather's genius is Larissa Gonzalez a sharp, gorgeous businesswoman who once helped build his fortune before striking out on her own.

Desperate, Reese begs Larissa to teach her everything she knows. "I'll do whatever it takes," she promises.

What starts as a tough mentorship quickly gets complicated. Under Larissa's guidance, Reese transforms from a reckless rich girl into someone who deserves to lead. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the spark between them-one that could either save the company... or burn everything down.

[Cover your heart-this enemies-to-lovers (sort of) romance is about learning that worth isn't inherited... it's earned.]
