There is only ONE stranger Dominic Smith tolerates, and that’s me.

And it’s because I’m on the payroll acting as his fake fiancée.

The international billionaire and dedicated loner needs my social skills to schmooze the locals while he glares from the shadows, but if he thinks he can stay there, he's mistaken.

We’re meant to be a couple, so he has to stop being an antisocial jerk boss long enough to pretend he’s in love with me, but it surprises us both when he’s convincing.

I can’t deny I’ve found it an easy role to play. Too easy perhaps. But no matter how real our feelings seem to become, I have to remember it’s a ruse. Business CANNOT mix with pleasure… can it?

When my contract ends, so does the relationship. He’ll head home to the other side of the world, and I’ll finally have enough money for everything I thought I wanted.

But will he make room in his luggage for my heart, when he takes it with him?

Boss in the Shadows is a standalone romance with an HEA. While it's part of a series, each book is a different couple and can be read on its own.

#BookReview: The Tip Line by Vanessa Cuti

Synopsis: Perfect for fans of Hannah Morrissey and May Cobb, Vanessa Cuti’s debut is an unsettling thriller that asks just how far you should go to find love.

Anxious to get married, thirty-year-old Virginia Carey lands a job as an operator at a police tip line, where she thinks finding a husband will be easy. There’s Charlie Ford, a surprisingly sweet homicide detective, and charming police chief Declan “Deck” Brady. But just as Virginia’s plans begin to fall into place and she can almost picture a ring on her finger, she answers a call from Verona—a mysterious woman who provides a tip about four bodies on a remote local beach. 

Verona, a sex worker, also gives Virginia details on sordid and raucous parties attended by law enforcement officers, and on the strange fetishes of cops she has been involved with. Then comes an explosive tip: Verona thinks it’s a police officer who is responsible for the killings.

But it can’t be true—the cops Virginia works with are marriage material, even if they are a little rough around the edges. While Verona trusts that her tips are being heard because she and Virginia have formed an unusual connection, Virginia realizes that the key to solving the case is ultimately in her hands. 

The tip line will reveal the truth about those murders. So long as Virginia is willing to hear it.
