Very entertaining read. Metsy Hingle has written a book that makes you believe in love conquering all...
From the back cover....The Princess---New Orlean's most luxurious hotel. Sixty years ago, ownership of the hotel was lost to the powerful Jardine family in a wager that cost its matriarch her greatest love. Now, in a daring bid to keep the hotel, her legacy and her family together, she's made a new wager, betting everything on a granddaughter she's never met.
After her mother's tragic death, Laura Harte learns her life has been a lie. All she has left is questions.....The answers can only be found in New Orleans--with a grandmother she never knew existed...and a man she isn't sure she can trust.
Hotel magnate Josh Logan owns some of the world's finest hotels---but not the one he wants most: The Princess. He'll stop at nothing to reclaim his grandfather's legacy. Even if it means winning the heart of the young woman to whom The Princess rightfully belongs.
The death of her Mother leaves Laura Harte's life turned upside down. Her whole life is based on a lie. She finds a whole new family, but does she want to? and do they want her? or is she a threat to their dynasty?
lies, secerts, scandal, lust and greed-a gumbo of simmering emotions
what was she willing to risk?
