From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a breathtaking installment in the Cruel Castaways series about finding love in the wake of tragedy and betrayal.
Arsène Corbin does not intend to marry for love. His fiancée has always been a means to an end, a woman he wants to conquer. But when she dies suddenly in an accident, Arsène's grand plan unravels.
Still reeling from his fiancée's death, he meets Winnifred Ashcroft, a struggling actress who lands a coveted role in a play at his theater…and knows things about his late fiancée no one else does. The only problem? They can't stand each other.
Backstage at Arsène's theater, Winnie begins to let down her guard around the tempestuous billionaire. She appreciates his wit and quirky affection for astronomy. And Arsène, jaded as he is, respects Winnie's headstrong personality.
Tragedy and betrayal bring them together, but will their painful pasts hold them back—or fuel their desire?
Fall in love today!

Review
In the beginning Arsene is a man with a tragic past who is so focused on gaining the woman he has always wanted and has only been able to see through rose-colored glasses. He sees her he wants her to be and not who she is until it comes crashing down and now he must pick up the pieces.
Winnie has trusted the wrong person and is now paying the price. The one thing that she and Arsene have in common is that they were betrayed by those they loved however where he is cold and detached, she feels deeply. Apart they are devastated but together they might just help each other heal.
Although there are times you may not like Arsene everything we learn about him gives us a greater insight. He has closed himself off to everyone except for his two friends but he and Winnie take us on an emotional journey as they try to deal with the hand that life has dealt them.
