The Wrong Kind of Man: The Right Love Can Come from the Wrong Man
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Elena Rossi is running on empty.
A single mother working two jobs, she barely has time to breathe between her shifts as a medical receptionist and her evenings waiting tables at an upscale restaurant overlooking the valley. Her fourteen-year-old daughter, Mia, has transformed from a sweet, confiding child into a sullen stranger who communicates primarily through slammed doors and eye rolls. Her aging mother needs care she can't afford to provide. The house is falling apart around them, the bills are piling up, and Elena has long since accepted that love-real, lasting, passionate love-is a luxury she simply cannot afford.
Then Walker Randall asks her to the movies.
Walker has been a regular at Montebello's for three years-charming, attentive, and always accompanied by a seemingly endless parade of beautiful women. He tips well, remembers every detail, and has a smile that makes Elena's heart flutter despite her determination to remain immune. When a last-minute cancellation leaves him with tickets to an outdoor horror marathon and no one to share them with, he turns to Elena. One night, he promises. Just the movies. No strings attached.
One night becomes something neither of them anticipated.
Beneath a blanket of stars, Walker awakens desires Elena has suppressed for years-passions she's denied herself in the relentless grind of survival. His touch is patient and knowing, his attention intoxicating, his presence a balm to her exhausted soul. He sees her in ways no one ever has: the fierce devotion beneath her fatigue, the hunger beneath her carefully constructed walls, the woman she's forgotten how to be.
But Walker has secrets.
The flexible schedule. The parade of elegant women. The way he always seems to know exactly what a woman needs before she knows it herself. When Elena discovers the truth about his profession-and the years he spent selling his companionship to wealthy, powerful women-her fragile trust shatters. How can she build a future with a man whose past represents everything she despises? How can she explain his choices to her impressionable daughter? And how can she trust that what they share is real, when he's spent years perfecting the art of making women feel special?
Walker must prove he's more than his history. Elena must find the courage to see past what he was to who he could become. And together, they must decide if love-messy, complicated, terrifying love-is worth the risk.
A deeply sensual and emotionally resonant novel about the lies we tell ourselves, the truths that set us free, and the unexpected redemption that awaits when we find the right person to love-even if they seem like the wrong kind of man.
