Guy Sillars is fresh out of the military and not ready to face his family just yet. Instead of catching his flight to the South, he decides to spend some time in New York over the holidays. When Francesca approaches him with a proposition to pretend to be her boyfriend, he's too enchanted by her beauty to say no.
Frankie has concocted the perfect plan to get her father to release her trust fund early. Bring home a guy that her father will hate, convince him they're in love, and then agree to dump him in exchange for the money. The only problem is, the more time Guy and Frankie spend together, the harder it will be to let him go.

Review:
A great start to a new series!
I loved The King and the Pawn by Lyssa Layne! I have read
her other books and this story is just as good as the others she’s written!
Francesca Di Dominzio is an inspiring fashion designer. She
comes from a big Italian family. When she has an opportunity to take over her
boss’s business, she needs money to pay him. After asking her father for her
trust fund early to use as payment, he says no. He doesn’t think her dream of
fashion design is a valid one. He is “old school” and believes she should just
get married to an Italian guy and be a good wife.
Francesca comes up with an idea to have her friend Lorenzo’s
Army sergeant, Guy, become her “fake boyfriend”. She thinks she might convince
her father to give her the money by getting him angry. What starts as a fake
relationship soon becomes a real one. Guy and Francesca take their relationship
to the next level and fall in love with each other.
I really liked the way the family interacted with each
other. They each looked out for the other. It was also great how Guy wanted to
help Francesca since he had an immediate attraction to her. He was very
supportive and didn’t mind putting his life on hold to help her.
I am looking forward to reading more about this family as
more stories are written!
