The Secrets - The Harper Inheritance, #1 - E-book - ePub

Josie Barone has a secret that makes her self-identify as a Groom-less Bride. But after drinking too many margaritas after attending a wedding, she agrees to be a maid of honor if her friend gets to the altar before her, an equally unpleasant identifier. When Josie's pride rejects her friend's offer of a blind date with a model as a solution, she instead takes a singles speed-dating cruise where participants' identities are unknown. Drew Harper is the Executive VP in his family's perfume company, but because of his father's strangle hold on everything, he's reduced to contributing to the company's bottom line by using his good looks as the face of the Darling cologne fantasy.
In response to losing a car race, and his father's pressure to marry his distant cousin to protect the business, he finds himself on a cruise to nowhere. As an Investigative Journalist for a national cable station, Josie has long known of the bad blood between her mother and an American billionaire but not the secret behind it. But when his death is ruled a murder and she covers the funeral, she and the new CEO are shocked to see each other.
Things get more complicated when a shakeup at the station puts her career at risk, and she must interview him even though his cooperation is questionable because he's drowning in corporate problems his father caused and the disappearance of a twelve-billion-dollar inheritance. Can things get any worse for them?
