"Marry or lose your inheritance." A commitment phobic heir in Detroit, Michigan faces the ultimate challenge from his powerful grandmother and family company CEO in this charming, irresistibly fun and flirty new contemporary romance from award-winning author Elle Wright.
Wesley Batchelor is desperate for an image reboot—stat. A mysterious social media influencer keeps revealing his many reckless romantic liaisons, putting everything Wesley has worked so hard for at stake. Worse, he’s in deep trouble with his grandmother and Batchelor Enterprises boss, Joyce, his one and only true cheerleader. So he’s stunned and relieved when his gorgeous ex, private detective Albany Keyes, is recruited to track down the leaker . . .
All Wes has to do is keep a cool-headed professional distance. Easy, right? Until the incendiary passion between him and Albany suddenly reignites. And he realizes he wants more from her—just like always . . .
For Joyce's sake, Albany reluctantly accepts the assignment to aid Wes. After all, she needs the money to regroup after a disastrous divorce. But this time, she's going to call the shots. She doesn’t need her heart re-broken by the only man she's ever loved. Yet she soon finds their differences are drawing them together again. And again. And again. Now, with both their careers and their hearts on the line, can they risk another chance on each other—this time, for keeps?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wright (The Secrets We Create) launches her Batchelor Life series with a juicy and melodramatic contemporary. When Joyce Batchelor, "CEO of one of the biggest Black media companies in the world," declares that all of her grandchildren must marry or lose their inheritance, she's not kidding around. She's particularly focused on her grandson Wes, whose romantic escapades have recently been splashed across the internet by social media influencer Miss Tea, a Gossip Girl–esque figure focused on Black Detroit elites. Joyce reaches out to Wes's first love, Albany Keyes, now a private investigator, to uncover Miss Tea's identity and put a stop to her reportage. Reeling from a divorce that left her financially unstable, Albany has no choice but to take the job despite her lingering bitterness about her and Wes's abrupt and devastating breakup as teenagers. Sparks soon fly between the reunited exes as Wes, with his grandmother's ultimatum in mind, works to win Albany back. The result is a fast-paced and soapy second-chance romance with plenty of angst. Wright surrounds her leads with a robust supporting cast, many of whom will surely get star turns in future installments. This series has legs.
