The past becomes the future. Secrets that can kill!
 
After someone tries to kill her, Tori Winters is on the run. Looking for a place to hide, a mysterious phone call about a vague inheritance seems to be the answer. After all, who would think of looking for her in Granbury, a small quaint Texas town. Instead, her life is about to spin into an existence where nothing is as it seems. The historic house she inherits has secrets. Ones she's been warned can kill. A stranger in a strange town, who can she trust? There is the kindly lawyer and his son, or the disinherited step-grandson. What secrets do they hide? Tori's newfound fortune may not be a blessing. It could become her death warrant.
 
Award-winning Author Anita Dickason is a twenty-two-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department. She served as a patrol officer, undercover narcotics detective, advanced accident investigator, tactical officer, and first female sniper on the Dallas SWAT team. 
 
Anita writes about what she knows, cops and crime. Her police background provides an unending source of inspiration for her plots and characters. Many incidents and characters portrayed in her books are based on personal experience. For her, the characters are the fun part of writing as she never knows where they will take her. There is always something out of the ordinary in her stories. 
 
In Anita’s debut novel, Sentinels of the Night, she created an elite FBI Unit, the Trackers. Since then, she has added three more Tracker crime thrillers, Going Gone!, A u 7 9, and Operation Navajo, which are not a series and can be read in any order, and Deadly Business, a crime thriller. 
 
As a Texas author, many of Anita’s books are based in Texas, or there is a link to Texas. When she stepped outside of the Tracker novels and wrote, Not Dead, she selected Meridian, a small community in central Texas for the location.

Tempest Swan is out for revenge. Billionaire Leonard Allred's software program has put her out of a job. She makes a bet with a friend that she'll get Leonard to take her on a date so she can get retribution, but a fortuitous accident with an adorable nerd might just derail her vengeance.
 
Leonard has reasons for hiding his identity from the public. It's worked well for him so far, until he starts falling for the honest and witty Tempest. But how can he destroy their budding romance by admitting he's actually the guy she hates?

What an entertaining and fast paced rom-com! This story follows Tempest, recently fired from Leonard's software company. In her angst, Tempest decides to make a bet with her friend that she will get Leonard to take her on a date so she can get back at him for his company firing her. Only one little snag, Leo has kept his identity from her but she can't seem to get enough of him anyway.  It's a bit of an insta-love roller coaster, with twists and turns that keep you guessing and wanting more! 

Tempest is a very strong willed character. She's very driven and determined, a confident woman, yet a little nerdy and fun as we well. A great balance to Leo who is very collected, nerdy, and a little awkward, but adorable! He's a real down to earth guy, and not at all what you would expect a billionaire to act like. Which was VERY refreshing. Even though this was one of those "enemies to lovers" sort of tropes, their relationship was still unique compared to those types of stories. There's so many elements to this story that make it a satisfying and uncommonly told story. A perfect read for a starry summer night!

The storyline is fast paced, though it's a bit of an up/down sort of story. There's alot of drama between the two. The romance is very clean though. It's witty, charming, and keeps you on your toes! 

If you are looking for summer rom-com, then this story is definitely for you! It's a real page turner, and Tempest and Leo are a perfect combo! Be sure to check it out!

Rating: 4/5
