New York heiress Aimee Thornton-Jones knows her mother’s plans precisely—to ship Aimee to England, and marry her off to an eligible, titled lord. Only Aimee has no interest in becoming another “dollar princess.” Instead, she concocts a daring plan: to swap places with her fair (but poor) cousin for six weeks as a trainee at her father’s company, and prove she’s just as valuable as any son. There’s just the small matter of her father’s too perfect protégé who she’s certain is endangering the entire business…
Harrison Stone doesn’t know what to make of the determined young woman in his employ. She’s vexingly irksome, reckless with her safety, and riles him at every turn. Each day, he’s torn between shipping her home…or thoroughly kissing her pert mouth. But Harrison—who loathes a charlatan—is certain she’s hiding something. And with the company under threat of sabotage, he’s resolved to find out exactly who this young lady truly is.
But in this masquerade of secrets, all it will take is one illicit kiss to ignite the spark…and bring them—unknowingly—to the edge of disaster...
My Review
The Heiress Masquerade by Maddison Michaels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you read The Heir Swap, this book is about what Aimee is up to in London. I'd been waiting for this release and it was good.
I will say that the pacing felt slower than the first book, but I was itching to get to the reveal.
What I wasn't expecting was the villain in this book! I never saw it coming.
Heiress Aimee Thorton-Jones is bound for England along with her cousin. Her parents hope she'll meet an eligible titled lord and settle down, as her mother wishes. She wants to prove that she is just as valuable as a son and take over her father's company. And she intends to do that by swapping places with her cousin as a trainee in his London offices.
The London office is run by her father's protege Harrison Stone. Before officially meeting he and Aimee have a run-in on the street that leaves each irritated with the other. And that carries through to their everyday interactions with each other. He's torn between sending her home or thoroughly kissing her. His gut tells him she's hiding something.
And with the company under threat of sabotage, he plans on finding out who she really is.
Thanks so much to the author and Entangled for this ARC to review.
