Broke and Famous

Sasha Westgate was the heir apparent to a storied scientific dynasty. Once the most powerful family in town, they are now on the decline thanks to their tendency to have doomed adventures and ruinous loves. Years ago, scandal caused Sasha to leave her home behind and desperately try to forget her old life. But now, broke and famous, she’s forced to return to the town— and the forbidden man —she left behind.

Thraex is simply a bastard from a nightmare dimension who the Westgates rescued and brought home one day as their ward. He has spent his whole life living on the outskirts of their rigid, gossiping society. But his piercing bedroom eyes hid an unexpected intelligence and drive, and now he’s in complete control of The Westgate Foundation. And the Westgates themselves. He’s determined to force the family back to their former greatness, if it kills them all! …And most of that plan involves keeping his former step-sister as close to him as possible.
