Hidden Mistress, Public Wife
288 pages
A sizzling, high-stakes battle of wills where a grounded country girl refuses to be just another notch on a billionaire's bedpost.
What it feels like
Reading this is like stepping into a time capsule of classic, high-drama category romance, where the emotional stakes are as vast as the Australian outback. The narrative thrives on the electric friction between two completely opposite worlds: the glittering, superficial realm of a billionaire playboy and the grounded, dirt-under-the-fingernails reality of a farm girl. It moves at a brisk, compulsive clip, pulling you through a tense tug-of-war of pride, power, and undeniable chemistry. The prose is unapologetically heightened, focusing intensely on the characters' internal angst and physical reactions to one another. It is perfect for readers who love the indulgent, escapist thrill of watching an arrogant alpha male finally meet his match in a woman who demands her true worth.

About the book
Billionaire Jordan Powell is a regular favorite of Sydney's newspaper gossip pages—there's always a new photo of him...with a new woman on his arm!
