One single night. One perfect kiss. One undeniable connection. That's all it took for the most captivating man I've ever met to anchor himself within my soul. Deeply enough that I can't help reliving our stolen moment in time over two years later. So when my best friend offers me a job as his PA at his long-estranged brother's company, I'm floored to discover our boss is the same man from that night. His older half-brother, reclusive billionaire CEO Henry DeMarco. But he's aloof. Cruel. Wholly at odds with the man from my memories. Not to mention, he's strictly off-limits! On the outside, he has it all. Power. Wealth. And a face that has panties spontaneously combusting left, right and centre. Men want to be him. Women want to be with him. And he takes it all as his prerogative; consequences be damned. Until his hard-won defences begin to shift in their foundations. Allowing me to glimpse beyond his harsh exterior, to peer intensely inside his hidden, hollowed heart. Will I be able to find the truths that lay painted within? Painted Truths is the first book in the standalone interconnected Brotherhood series. It is a dual POV, spicy contemporary romance with themes suitable for readers aged 18 and over.
