Undeniable Bachelor
Ruth Cardello
A secret prince romance. Savannah Barre: I’m starting over—hitting the reset button on my life. With the small inheritance, my grandmother left me, I’m leaving Coppertop Maine behind and reinventing myself in Boston. Don’t worry, I’m not doing it alone. I’ve secured the services of Jana Monroe, a life coach so exclusive no one will say what she actually does. I’m reasonably certain the first step in my transformation is shedding my virginity. I’ve heard there’s nothing Jana can’t arrange. With her help, I’m practically guaranteed an entire life makeover. The only stipulation? I have to follow her rules. No distractions and absolute confidentiality when it comes to what she does for me. I would be her favorite client if it weren’t for Brice Hastings. Just because we were trapped in an elevator right after I was mugged and I happened to be dressed like a homeless person, does not mean I need his help. He’s not part of the plan. In fact, he’s the distraction Jana says I need to cut out of my life. He’s gorgeous, arrogant, and irritatingly sure I need saving. If I’m not careful he’ll also be the reason I fail in Boston.
