Summary: From the USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author comes an enemies-to-lovers, brother’s best friend, age-gap, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance featuring family secrets, red carpet drama, and a hero who will move heaven and earth to protect his girl.
Everyone loves Poppy. She’s pure sunshine with an infectious snort-laugh, and nobody is immune to her outrageous flirting. Nobody, that is, except her much older brother’s best friend, former Scottish rugby star and grumpy fun-sponge, Rory Wallace.
The last thing Rory wants is a woman who represents everything he avoids: cameras, chaos and constant attention. The irony is that although Lady Poppy Sterling flirts with the world, the man she’s had a crush on since childhood can’t stand her. At least that’s what he tells himself…
It’s only when Rory’s betrayal leaves Poppy vulnerable to both paparazzi and predators that he realizes too late what he stands to lose. Her celebrity lifestyle might be his dealbreaker, but his failure to protect her? That’s hers.
Reviews:
“[A] delightful second-chance romance . . . [This] grumpy/sunshine romance meets with a host of misunderstandings and complications, but Tate keeps character development front and center throughout. Readers are sure to be endeared by Poppy’s combination of vulnerability and spunk, as well as the caring heart and protective instincts beneath Rory’s gruff exterior. A superb lineup of supporting characters, especially Rory’s feisty mother, add heft and color. This keeps the series going strong.” —Publishers Weekly
“Fun and fast-paced. . . [Poppy and Rory’s] forced proximity turns up the heat on their undeniable chemistry, leading to smoking-hot sex scenes. Entertaining friends and family round out this amusing and at times poignant story of love at last finding a way.” —BookPage
“Tate shines at building tension and writing spicy sex scenes.” —Kirkus
