The Secret One by Ruth Cardello

4.0

Seven years ago Christof and McKenna met in a bar - both coming to terms with the loss of special people in their lives. Sharing wisdom and hope as well as a kiss they went their separate ways. Fast forward to the present day and they have each made a name for themselves in their own way. However, they are both still missing that one person in their life.

A chance breakdown on the side of the road sees them meeting again, not that either one of them realises at the time. After swapping numbers, purely for car issue reasons, they start messaging and having phone call dates. That is until Christof's family need him to sort out a problem from the past and head to Italy. His mum wants him to take McKenna as his fake-fiancée but he can't ask that of her - can he?

The underlying storyline that has been running through the Corisi Billionaires series now comes to light and it is down to Christof to help smooth things over between the families. McKenna lends a helping hand but it's just an arrangement - right?
