Overcome

A steamy new adult romance. Contains mature content.

Catalina Martinez is used to being alone. Only seventeen when her mother died, Lina has since built her life around a single purpose: honoring her mother's legacy by seizing every opportunity her mother worked herself to the bone to provide.

Now a college student, Lina is ambivalent when she lands a part-time job that sounds too good to be true. The hours are flexible and won't interfere with her studies, allowing her to maintain her grades and keep her scholarships, and the pay is generous. However, she'll be helping restore an old mansion, doing the kind of physical labor her mother was determined to prevent her daughter from having to do.

When she meets Byron Eaton, her new boss, he opens up a whole new world of additional complicationsand possibilities. Not only is he young, rich, and gorgeous, he's the first person Lina has felt a connection with since losing her mother. Her growing attraction to him threatens to overrule her misgivings, but even so she can't shake her discomfort over the contrasts between his privileged upbringing and her hardscrabble life, not to mention how reluctant he is to talk about his family.

Just as she's finally on the verge of reaping the rewards of her years of hard work, she finds herself on shaky ground. Does Byron trust her enough to tell her the truth about his past, or will his secrets prove too great an obstacle for their love to overcome?
