Charlene "Charlie" de Monaco, a new hire corporate lawyer, joined the firm to do real estate projects that will benefit the poor in the city, but her first job was to clean up Nolan Bank's reputation, such as claims of paternity and such. Then Nolan tried to bluff a rival group and got in something so big not even Charlie can get him out of it... Except for one last gambit... Nolan announced Charlie as his fiancee in order to salvage the big real estate deal he's managed to blow up. But Charlie cannot deny that Nolan was nothing like the guy described in the tabloids, and she was falling for him...By cutting the book into 3 portions, the author managed to put in a conclusion for all three parts, and cliffhanger in two, which is sort of annoying but nothing major because there are all three parts in this collection (unlike if I had to buy them separately).
There is one major problem, in that the evil folks in this book seem to be just... evil for no reason other than they can. It's just a "flat" evil. It was just... pathetic evil. And it's almost as if Charlie enjoy like being a doormat... and occasionally just flee. That's why I can only rate this series average. Nolan, at least, came across as both calculating and kind.
