DARCY
The death of my father not only rips out my heart but tears open my entire life.

His funeral brings the appearance of his bastard son, the byproduct of my father’s apparent misadventures. Wren Porter is a prickly, untrusting beef cake in an ill-fitting suit, and he looks so much more the part of a Ritcherson than I do.

Now it’s on me to teach him the family business while ignoring my attraction to the man the world thinks is my brother.

All it would take is one misstep for him to find out the secret my father literally took to his grave.

He’s not the bastard son.

I am.

Wren’s the true heir to the Ritcherson fortune, but I’ve fought my whole life for my place at the table. If anyone discovers the truth, I’ll lose everything.

I used to think the worst thing that could happen would be losing the company, but the closer I get to Wren, I realize the biggest thing on the line is my heart.


OMG! Darcy and Wren's story exceeded my high expectations! It is such an impossible love story with so many possible repercussions but their connection and bond are so intense. I felt for them and my heart broke at times as they struggled, pined, hurt, sacrificed, and hoped things could be different. My mind whirled with possibilties trying to figure out any way for them to deal with all of the challenges against them and be able to be together. And I was just not sure how it could be possible and it kept me turning the pages and hoping right along with them. 

Darcy Ritcherson is the one trained to be the heir to a billion-dollar conglomerate, the in-charge CEO, the responsible, unemotional, rule-following, self-sacrificing workaholic. But he holds a secret that haunts him and drives him to be the best. 

Wren Porter found out later that he was not only abandoned by his father but his father was a billionaire business owner and he has brothers now running it. And he is now being offered a place at the table, even if they are not all welcoming. He is stubborn, honest, and has been content having a loving family and working in construction.

When these two are thrust into each other's lives and close quarters things get even more confusing and messy. Only some people know all of the story, and initially Wren is not one of them. But as things begin to get more intense, eventually secrets will start coming out. But their family secrets are so big that it could ruin the business, their families, their reputations. But sacrificing their own needs and wants also has the potential to ruin their personal lives and emotional well-being. 

This is a story about how choices affect not only your own life but others. 
 It is a tangled web with no easy way to unravel it without destroying something in the process. 

It is a forbidden story of secrets, twisted family ties,friendship, love, fortune, power, and obligations. It is also about the importance of acceptance, support, passion, and work-life balance. I loved Wren and Darcy even though there were times when I wanted to shake sense into them...especially Darcy. They could bring out the best and the worst in each other. Their chemistry, connection, and passion is so intense and real but have the power to burn their worlds down. The possible repercussions and public perception are intimidating, but they have to figure out what they are willing to fight for and prioritize and what they need in life to be happy and fulfilled. I was rooting for them the whole time even when I could not figure a way out of it without disaster.
