Beneath Mr. Crown's Disguise

Natalie Powell treats her father’s milestone birthday gala as the night that can redeem her: after a devastating breakup and a failed business venture in London, she is back in the States, and this event is her last chance to launch the luxury event-planning company she wants.

Potential investors fill the guest list, and she has every detail under control.

Then Dash Benning walks in on her older sister’s arm.

Months earlier, in a dimly lit London pub, Natalie had given one night to a charming stranger—no real names, no expectations—and called it a goodbye to a chapter she was desperate to close.

Ambition, loyalty, and longing now meet in the same room, and Natalie has to decide whether she will stay silent or risk the future she is trying to build for a second chance.
