Description: Growing up as the daughter of the renowned Liam Hendrix, I assumed that I was the sole heir to my fathers empire.
Right up until my father ripped the rug out from under my feet and demanded I marry a man of his choosing. A man he sees fit to rule over the Hendrix Mafia.
A role I've always coveted.
Dean Lawson is my childhood best friend, my protector, and the love of my life. After he hurt me when we were younger, I swore never to get too close and give him that chance again.
Now we are being forced to marry.
I refuse to be a broodmare, to marry someone so that they can take everything I've always wanted.
I've got to get away. Start fresh somewhere else.
It won’t be that easy…
It turns out my father isn’t the biggest monster I’ll have to face if I want my chance at freedom.
Octavia and Dean's story is a contemporary mafia Swan Princess retelling. It contains some steamy scenes and some darker themes. Please review the content warnings before proceeding.
My Review: This was a fast paced read! I loved reading Octavia's sorry and seeing the depths that Dean will go to in order to protect Octavia and the seat that rightfully belongs to her. She swears never to get too close to him and to remain focused on her rightful spot as next in line to the throne.
When the seat is taken from under her, she plans to run off and start fresh.
The journey to freedom proves that her father was the least of her worries.
This was a quick read but I loved every page of it. It had the perfect amount of spice and suspense!
