Chase Stone and his sister Alex are shocked when their father leaves them his multi-billion-dollar business upon his death. Both Chase and Alex were estranged from their father and didn't have much of a relationship with him. Not exactly sure how to go about running this business, they learn that the inheritance comes with strings attached. It seems that Chase and Alex have a half-sibling they never knew about. They must find this unknown sibling and split the inheritance into thirds. Neither sibling wants anyone to find out their secret, especially the board of directors. They decide to try to run the business as usual while letting their attorney do the searching.
Piper Maddox was Mr. Stone's assistant until he fired her two weeks prior to his death. She knows the business inside and out, so Chase convinces her to come work for him. He quickly takes her into his confidence and explains that they need to find the half-sibling as soon as possible. He doesn't know that Piper has her own secret that she hasn't shared with anyone.
This was a pleasant contemporary romance with no real surprises. I thought Piper's secret was obvious from the beginning. I did like the fact that both the hero and the heroine acted like adults throughout the story; and the author didn't throw any big misunderstanding into the mix. This is the first book in the series. I'm looking forward to the other siblings' stories. My rating: 4 Stars.
