Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies, Lynn Painter, comes a rags-to-riches rom-com about a small-town girl whose family inherits a fortune and moves to New York City, where she meets a big-city boy hiding an explosive secret.
Julia is just a small-town girl from Nebraska who loves her peaceful life. But when her elderly next-door neighbor—who just happens to be a secret multi-millionaire—leaves everything to Julia and her family after his passing, Julia is swept away to live in a historic brownstone in New York City and attend an elite private school for the super-rich.
It should be a dream come true. Wrong. Julia doesn’t fit in at her new school; worse, she’s failing. Enter Damion, the mysterious and handsome tutor who will get Julia back on track. Except Damion has a secret. He is the great-nephew of the man who left everything to Julia’s family. Damion doesn’t buy for a second that the person who was like a father to him would leave his home to strangers. And he’s determined to prove it.
To uncover the truth, Damion schemes to earn Julia’s trust. Not an easy task with Julia unsure about this rich boy with a rebellious personality. But the more time Damion spends with Julia, the more his plan begins to backfire. Because he is falling for the enemy—and the enemy is falling for him.
As Damion and Julia figure out where they belong, can they see past their differences and act on their feelings, or will the trust Damion has worked so hard to gain fall apart?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Better Than the Movies author Lynn Painter delivers another funny, swoony romance with this irresistible opposites-attract tale. Nebraska teen Julia is uprooted when an elderly neighbour leaves her family millions of dollars and a Manhattan brownstone. But Damion, the neighbour’s great-nephew, is convinced the inheritance should have been his. When he becomes Julia’s tutor at her elite new school, he decides getting close to her might reveal what really happened to divert his granduncle’s fortune. Painter has a blast letting us in on Damion’s ulterior motives while Julia remains clueless, making every flirtation both adorable and increasingly nerve-racking. We especially loved Julia’s wide-eyed adjustment to Manhattan and the snarky banter that gradually gives way to genuine vulnerability on both sides. And the autumn-in-New-York setting adds just the right cozy backdrop for all that yearning. Bursting with chemistry, Trust Fall makes taking a chance on someone feel wonderfully worthwhile.
