Review
I never knew that so much can happen within so few pages. Well, I do now because of this novella. It has everything, a good story, an exciting beginning, mystery, drama, romance, and a somewhat happy ending. I really enjoyed it.
Sloan is a strong woman who is forced into a loveless marriage. When her husband betrays the family she has no other option but to run. Her life is now in danger and there is only one person she can think of who might be able and willing to help her out. She doesn't trust Bettino completely but for now, he is her only hope. He agrees to help her and sends her to the Chateau. It's a strange and mysterious place and soon Sloan will learn that everything is not as it seems. She faces a new set of challenges but is she up to it or is her life doomed anyway?
The ending was very unexpected but welcomed. It's a highly entertaining read and I'd recommend it to all readers who don't mind unconventional reads.
