What came first? The princess or the shoes? And does it really matter?
My name is Margaux Asher. Donât be afraid to ask how itâs spelled though I may enlighten you, anyway. Yes, Iâm that Margaux Asher. The attitude icon. The bitch in the latest heels. The princess of the PR game.
Just donât bring up the queen.
Mommie and I arenât on comfortable terms. Last winter, I learned a secret that Andrea Asher has hidden from me since my birthâby another woman. And my real father? Josiah Stone, one of the worldâs richest men. Dream come true, right?
Thereâs a lot of baggage attached to that answer. And now, Michael Pearson wants to help me open it.
Michael. My six-foot-three, golden god of a dilemma. Heâs patient, indulgentâand donât get me started on his passionâbut he wants too much. He wants all the secrets. What would he say if he knew my birthright was only the start of my lifeâs mess? What would he do if he learnsâ¦Iâm no perfect princess?
Someday, my princess will comeâ¦
The apple never falls far from the tree? Depends on who you ask.
Iâm Michael Pearson. Son of an apple farmer. First family member to graduate college, move to the big city, and work for one of the most prestigious PR firms in the country. Iâm the success, the starâ
And the sap whoâs fallen for the bossâs daughter.
So technically, Margaux isnât Andreaâs daughter anymore. Doesnât matter to the rest of the companyâand the worldâwho vilify her as they always have. But where they see a she-snake, I see a terrified girl in the woods, yearning for a place where sheâs accepted, loved. Every time I volunteer my arms to be that place, she ducks deeper into her shell, pushing me away with more fear and anger. Her facade thickens every day, making me more determined to learn what magic kiss will set her free, so she can finally see the truthâ¦
I donât want her to be perfect. I just want her to be mine.

Hi there. I'm Angel: book lover, writing addict, hopeless romantic, pop culture geek and avid shoe lover. **I have a monthly newsletter now! Sign up for it right here: http://eepurl.com/LoNkz. It's a cool way to get exclusive info, talk hot heroes, learn about new items in the Angel Payne store, talk hot heroes, further the pie or cake debate...and oh yeah, did I mention talking hot heroes? A bit about me... I've been hooked on books since I was a kid but it got worse in my twenties, when I discovered romances--the hotter, the better. Growing up in Southern California, with lots of surfer manliness surrounded me, was certainly a good boost for reading about delicious alpha guys and the women who adore them. When I learned I had a knack for telling these stories too, I guess you could say I was doomed--though my path toward romance novelist took a few detours via a concert-reviewing gig for my college newspaper (free show tickets...backstage passes...that was a no-brainer), artist interviews for a Beverly Hills dance music mag, personal assistant work for a record producer, dance club disc jockey, and a lot of fun in the hospitality industry. These days, I still live in California, and have found an amazing alpha guy of my own who was brave enough to marry me. We live on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with our beautiful daughter. I have the best life ever, and never forget to thank the Big Guy Upstairs for it, either.* FACEBOOK * TWITTER * WEBSITE *
