This story had it all! Passion, secrets, betrayal, a bit of action, romance and many other things I won't mention so I don't spoil it. The book was very enjoyable from the very beginning and I enjoyed every second of it. I loved all the characters especially Bo the driver and also Will 's brother, Peter Parker. Yes there's references from Spiderman since they were actually named after the comic but only used in passing jokes or endearment. And I totally loved the fact that there are many Quotes and all by Confucius.Darcy Campbell is a journalist that is trying get her big break to succeed by her own efforts and come out from behind her father's shadow. When she's chosen to interview the elusive self made billionaire Will Parker she couldn't be happier. This is the break she's been waiting for.

He pushed away the woman he loves because he's not good enough for her, yet he can't live without her. Will Darcy forgive him? Will he forgive himself?This is a full length novel and while there were parts that took a bit too long they were never boring so it wasn't bad. I guess I was just anxious for them to resolve things. One good thing with this book is that not everything is resolved in the very end so you get to enjoy it more.
