The Gentileschi Sisters are daughters of a king, princesses who come to the U.S. to pursue their careers and fall in love with seemingly unsuitable men.
Seriously? Alexandra Marcello Gentileschi thinks when she’s contacted by one of the biggest publishers in New York City. The man actually wants to buy the children’s book she wrote. She’s innocent and naïve in the ways of publishing and in the ways of the world, but she’s determined to make it on her own and not because of the Gentileschi name. She chooses instead her mother’s surname.
Ryder Reynolds is using Alexandra Marcello to get what he wants out of life. Ten years older than she, and technically her boss, he regretfully finds himself enticed by the Italian beauty. But after he falls in love with her, he’s is forced to make an impossible choice that could alienate her forever.
Backdropped by the splendor of an Italian island and the glamor of New York City, Ryder and Alexandra’s struggle will tug at your heartstrings and move you to root for them.
Don’t miss this charming six-book series of novellas: I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, THIS GUY’S IN LOVE, CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE?, LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER and I THINK I LOVE YOU!
A NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Kathryn Shay has been a lifelong writer and teacher. She has written dozens of self-published original romance titles, print books with the Berkley Publishing Group and Harlequin Enterprises, and mainstream women’s fiction with Bold Strokes Books. She has won five RT Book Reviews awards, four Golden Quills, four Holt Medallions, the Bookseller’s Best Award, Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year, and several “Starred Reviews.” Her novels have been serialized in COSMOPOLITAN magazine and featured in USA TODAY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, and PEOPLE magazine. There are over seven million copies of her books in print, along with three million downloaded online. Reviewers have called her work “emotional and heart-wrenching.”
Alexandra (Lexy) is the youngest Gentileschi princess who is in the US with her family to meet with a publishing house to not only have her children’s book published but to sign a contract to publish two additional books. The one main caveat in agreeing to have them published is that her true identity must remain a secret even from the publishing house.
Ryder’s father is the owner of the publishing house and after Lexy’s confrontation with his father will be handling her account. Working for his father is not his end goal but rather a way to save enough money to open the bookstore he has always wanted.
As they work together it was only a matter of time until the chemistry between them exploded. They were planning their happy ever after until Ryder made a choice and Lexy felt betrayed. With the help of their interfering family will they ever be able to find their way back to each other?
Although at times you may either hate or love Ryder there is no doubting that this author can create characters that make you feel. I enjoyed the first book in this new series and look forward to much more about the Gentileschi family.
