Hardcastle Progeny #1
Millionaire's Secret Seduction
A multimillion-dollar family dynasty was hard to walk away from. And that's what Dominic Hardcastle intended to do. Until he met his father's employee Bella Andrews. She was intriguing and sexy beyond reason…and out to ruin his estranged, ruthless father. So Dominic offered to keep her secret if she'd keep him company…after hours.

"I’ve been making up stories since the day I was born. I always loved to draw as well as write and as a child I drew graphic novellas featuring penniless but plucky Cinderella heroines. My love of daydreaming earned me the nickname “Dozy Duck” in Kindergarten, and I still consider staring into space to be a constructive activity.
I was born in Manhattan but my family moved to London when I was six months old, toting me along in a cat basket. I grew up as a Brit and traveled extensively in Europe during my only-slightly-misspent formative years.
I came back to the States to earn a bachelor’s degree in Semiotics from Brown University and begin a journey into the world of trans-Atlantic accents that I have still not fully emerged from. On graduation I returned to New York, where I learned to explain Semiotics on job interviews (“It’s the study of signs and systems of meaning!”) and to apply my knowledge in a very enjoyable career at a television museum.
While organizing exhibits on subjects ranging from Elvis Presley to Monty Python, I began to experiment with writing my own stories. It was quite a revelation to discover that the tales I’d been dreaming up forever could actually be turned into books. After a couple of detours--my son and my daughter--I focused all my creative energy on writing and my first book came out from Silhouette Desire in 2007.
I live in South Florida with my family, which includes an adorable greyhound and four horses.

Banyak kurangnya....tokohnya kurang berkarakter, ceritanya kurang romantis, kisah cintanya kurang panas.
Ceritanya tentang Dominic & Bella. dominic adalah putra dari dinasti kaya Hardcastle yang baru2 saja diakui anak oleh ayahnya, si raja Hardcastle. Sedang Bella adalah staf peneliti di Harcastle. Bella bekerja di lab Hardcastle dengan tujuan mencari bukti untuk menuntut Hardcastle agar mengembalikan hasil penelitian ayah bella yg diduga dibeli dengan murah oleh ayah Dom....
Sedangkan Dominic terjebak diantara ayahnya & Bella. Ia tidak ingin menghianati keduanya. Akhirnya Dom menceritakan tentang Bella ke ayahnya.....saat Bella mengetahui bahwa Dom menghianatinya semua jadi ruwet buat Dom......Untuk membuat semua pihak senang Dom berjanji akan belajar tentang kerajaan bisnis ayahnya dengan syarat bahwa bella tidak dipecat...
Akhirnya ditemukan bukti bahwa ayah Dom ternyata tidak curang, uang hasil penjualan penelitian itu dipergunakan ayah Bella untuk membiayai pendidikan Bella sehingga saat ini Ibunya hrs hidup pas-pasan....ya jadilah mereka berdua...

Well, ceritanya kurang menarik buatku. Kurang menggigit..
Dominicnya plin plan, kurang pendirian, kalo emang dendam yah dendam, masa cepat banget dia maafin bapaknya dan secepat itu pula dia mengkhianati Bella. Kau bukan hero favoritku, Dominic!!
