She was supposed to be a one-night stand. A way to sate my sexual appetite. I let her glimpse the man I am. The face that I hide behind my carefully cultivated life. But she ripped open that divide - and there's no going back. Now, she's here. In my city. I don't care that I'm Manhattan royalty and she's the help. Only that she's living in my summer home. With me. And I want more.

Story
Walking away from Sam Rutherford was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s been five years since that day, and I’ve given up on looking for love. My focus is on my career. And it’s paid off - I’m successfully managing the reelection for the mayor of New York City. Then, Sam walks into my office as the new legal counsel. Which means I have to see him every single day from now until November. We vow to remain professional, but it’s a small office. The sly glances and his blistering charm are unavoidable. It all feels so familiar. Too comfortable.

I'm not prepared to meet someone as sexy as Sam Rutherford on the first day of my new job. Then I find out we're sharing an office...for the next year. I can't deny that I'm intrigued by his charming Southern drawl and rugged good looks. Normally I would have jumped at the chance. But there's only one problem. He has no idea who I am. I'm not just Lark, the cute girl at work. I'm a multibillion-dollar heiress. And I made a deal with my parents: One year away from the city and then I take over the family business.

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except...I did. What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did. Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell - and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life.

I'd dated his brother. He didn't remember, and I wish I could forget. I may have sworn off the Wright family a long time ago. But when I returned home, Jensen Wright crashed into my life with the confidence of a billionaire CEO and the sex appeal of a god. Even I couldn't resist our charged chemistry or the way he fit into my life like a missing puzzle piece. Too bad he'd forgotten the one thing that could destroy us. Because Jensen Wright doesn't share. Not with anyone.

If only I'd never signed that contract. Or accepted the one I didn't. My husband doesn't trust me. Not that I can blame him. But he needs me, needs my image. I need his connections. And I have to find a way to convince him to set aside our differences. There's one way that always works. Even when we hate each other, our bodies betray us. The one place we've never disagreed is in bed. Except this is about more than just us. And even Luka Zoric's legendary control breaks sometimes.

I’ve been struggling a little. When a beautiful young woman moves in next door and offers to give me a hand, I jump at the chance to hire her as a nanny. Jessa is amazing with my daughter. She’s also patient, kind, and way too pretty.

Until his five year old daughter runs out of the ballet studio. I’m only in town for a month. I shouldn’t get involved with anyone, especially the ex I’ve been pining after for years.

THE BACKGROUND TO AN EPIC 5 ⭐️ TRILOGY
This prequel wasn’t initially available so, after listening to book 1, I watched and waited for the other 2 books in the trilogy to become available because I absolutely hate the wait in-between books. And when all the books were finally released, I saw this was available too.. so I started from this prequel - which is a short background to the main story which starts 6 years after this and goes on to span another 2 years. However, if you judge the story from this you may be misguided into thinking “meh”.. and miss this rollercoaster trilogy.. which (IMO) is anything but meh. It builds and builds, twists and continually turns as the shocks, angst, emotional suspense, passion, turmoil, sex, secondary characters and character growth creates a heady cocktail of delicious feels. And Virginia Rose’s outstanding narration brought all the multi-layered characters, and the riveting plot (told mainly from the heroine’s PoV), to life.
Worth a credit? It wasn’t much so I just bought it.. but I do think that, in a an ideal world, it should’ve just been added at the start of book 1.

Interesting Prequel!
This was a fun story but really short. I read book 1,then came back to this book. It was entertaining and plausible in the way the H swept the h off her feet. There was good heat between the MCs and they definitely liked to have fun.

One Cruel Night was a nice prelude to Cruel Money. It gives a little backstory of what’s to come in book 1. The characters had good chemistry. The book covers their night out, from walking through the city, to almost getting arrested for trespassing and ending with a sexy, intimate scene.

5 Paris Changes Everything Stars!!
This is the perfect prologue to this newest series by Ms. Linde. In my opinion this should be listened to prior to starting book one so there's a deeper understanding of why Natalie has the feelings she does for Penn and what they all mean!
The narrators are truly fabulous and my first listens by both of them but definitely not my last. They bring a great depth to the characters and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them bring this story to life.
I highly recommend this book, this series, this author and these narrators!!
