Fashioned For Power by Kathleen Brooks
Book Description:
Allegra Simpson
is the Vice President of Simpson Fashion and she's always
handled life like her mother taught her — with manners and a
smile. But Allegra learns being nice can get you in trouble
as someone haunts her from the shadows and turns her life to
one of secrets. She
fears she’ll never be able to have a relationship with Finn,
because it would put everyone she loves in danger.
Finn
Williams had a promising professional baseball career until an
injury disrupted everything. But Finn wouldn't let that stop
him. He went to law school and started his own sports agency
with the support of the Simpson family. The only thing
missing was Allegra’s love. The chemistry
between the two had been undeniable. But Finn knew there was
something that Allegra is holding back from him. He just has
to get her to trust him enough to tell him.
The man in the shadows is watching. He’s always
watching. He
knows Allegra’s every move. He’s been in her house, laid in
her bed, and has plans to make her love him. She rejected him,
but they are destined for each other. He’s seen her with Finn
and knows this new man is no match for him. Soon she’ll come
to see they are meant to be. Because if he can’t have her,
then no one can.
Snippets to Share:
As she headed back to
her room, she looked back at the flowers. A card stuck out the
side. She wondered if Finn had written something sweet or
something naughty to her. Allegra grinned with anticipation as
she reached for the red envelope and pulled out the white card.
She turned it over. There was only one word written on it . . . Whore.
Allegra felt her knees give out as she collapsed on the floor. He was here. Harry was here. Clutching the phone, she struggled to enter her passcode. Her fingers shook and she kept hitting the wrong buttons. With every wrong number, she felt her vision blur. She struggled to breathe. Finally she entered the right numbers and called the only person who knew the truth.
“Damien, he’s here. He’s in New York.”
------------------------------
Damn Harry. He was
ruining friendships and relationships. It took her months just
to trust Finn enough to tell him what was going on, and now she
had the feeling that she got the brush-off tonight. She would
have to talk to him tomorrow. Maybe Harry threatened him. Finn
loved her; she knew he did. Threatening her was the only reason
that Finn would back away from her. This relationship meant too
much for her to sit back and do nothing as it fell apart.
"Here,
honey, have a piece of pie. It’ll put a smile on that beautiful
face,” her mother said as a slice of pumpkin pie was placed in
front of her.
“Thank
you, Mom,” Allegra smiled. She felt better. She wasn’t going to
sit back and watch life happen to her. No, she was going to take
a page out of her sisters’ book and go after what she wanted.
“You
know what else will put a smile on your face . . .?”
“Shirley!” the women
all groaned as Nate and Reid laughed. The bodyguard could only
cringe.
