Description

A secret kiss between rivals leads to a high-stakes marriage of convenience in this Blackout Billionaires novel by USA TODAY bestselling author Naima Simone.

When a blackout hits Chicago, billionaire Darius King makes the most of being stranded in the dark at the city’s hottest gala of the season. But then the lights come back on, revealing the woman in his arms as the one he’d wanted security to escort out just moments before. He’s long had a beef with Isobel Hughes, his best friend’s widow, who squandered her late husband’s legacy. But their unexpected connection in the dark gives Darius a bright idea.

His new plan: entice her into marriage to protect his friend’s legacy and ensure the man’s young heir has a stable home. When Isobel balks, Darius won’t take no for an answer. But wild attraction and explosive secrets soon make their little arrangement very inconvenient…

From Harlequin Desire: Luxury, scandal, desire—welcome to the lives of the American elite.

    A quick read about a heroine who has been wrongfully vilified and her late husband’s best friend who was like a brother to him and like a second son to the family who still blames her for their son’s death. Isobel and Gage had a painful marriage made worse by Gage spreading lies about his wife. He dies and Gage’s family, including his best friend Darius make it their mission to let Isobel know just how despised and unwelcome she is. They shun both her and the son she had with Gage, not believing that he’s even Gage’s. I liked Isobel, her growth and character arc was really wonderful. I would have liked to have seen more groveling from Darius at the end and I would have also liked more of a down the road resolution with the Wells family. Other than that, it was a quick, sexy, fun read.
