New York Times bestselling author Melody Anne’s sizzling novel of ex-lovers locked again in a game of hearts.
There was a time when surgeon Kian Forbes would have surrendered every cent of his vast family fortune if it could make Roxie Gilbert happy. That was before she skipped town, broke his heart, and sent him spinning through a string of forgettable one-night stands. He never even knew he’d … He never even knew he’d fathered a child—with Roxie’s sister, no less. But in the wake of tragedy, little Lily needs a home. And Kian wants his daughter. But Roxie’s not giving in or giving up without a fight.
Fearful of her intense feelings for Kian, Roxie ran. Now that her sister’s death has brought her home, she intends to take custody of her niece and avoid Kian—easier said than done on both counts. With their wealth and power, the Forbes men are accustomed to winning. And as she and Kian are forced to spend time together for Lily’s sake, saying no to everything he wants proves impossible…even though it means risking both their hearts all over again.

An Undercover Billionaire Novel.
This is the first book I have read from this author, but it won’t be my last!
This book started out with a bang and grabbed me by the throat from the get go! This is the story of Kian and Roxie. They have a long history and unfortunately events led them to a long separation. But a horrible incident forces them together again and the feelings and circumstances that they go through are moving.
I liked the alternate POV’s of each of the main characters and also a secondary character makes a few chapters which excites me to see that this is the first in a new series by this author. I can’t wait to see what the future books will tell.
This is a fast paced, steamy, angsty novel that I wasn’t able to put down once I started. And that really says a lot. My reading style is that if something doesn’t grab me from the get go, I have a hard time keeping with the story. I surely did not have a problem with this book!
My first Melody Anne series was Billionaire Aviators. I LOVED it!! I was so excited that I decided to take a chance on Kian, the first book in her Undercover Billionaire series. Once again, I loved it!
I look at the stars on GoodReads and wonder, “Did we read the same book?!?!” Kian had a love story that was deep, well thought out, and full of emotion.
Dr. Kian Forbes in a trauma surgeon with an extra soft spot for children. While on duty, he is called to the ER for a patient that turns out to be his long last love’s sister. Though he was unable to save Pamela, he does find out a secret that changes his life forever.
“Kian hadn’t wanted to say he’d been given a silver spoon because of the way he’d been born. He’d studied hard, and now he was a doctor in extreme demand. He was often called to other places where only he could help. There was a lot of pride in knowing he was worthy of his family name. It was almost odd to him that he’d been coasting through life without a lot of care in the world until he’d met Roxie. And then he’d been in love, willing to drop to his knees for her. Then she’d left, and he’d become a different man — harder. And now he was his father. This woman was responsible for all the major shifts in his life.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)
Roxie Gilbert’s sister dies and she is left to raise her niece, Lily, on her own. Little did she know that her world would collide back with Kian Forbes, the one man she had ever loved.
“Kian had shattered her, had broken her into mere fragments of the person she’d once been. It didn’t matter that he hadn’t intended to do it; it only mattered that she’d felt so broken, she’d had to run to save herself.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)
As Kian & Roxie navigate their new reality, they find that they both still love each other. Can they make the past the past and forge a future together?
“… she’d been running away, not running towards something.”
~ Melody Anne, Kian (Undercover Billionaire #1)
I loved the tug and pull of these characters. Their past was well written and intertwined will with the present.
I also have to tell you that I have a soft spot for older men who love to match make! If you have read Melody Anne’s books, then you know what I am talking about… Joseph, Lucian & Sherman! These three men connect Melody Anne’s other series into one larger story. But do know that each series can be read alone.
“ The men grew quiet as they put their heads together and once again got up to no good. Their wives would kill them if they knew what they were planning. A little jealousy always seemed to help a romance move right along, though. And the guys knew just what to do next.”
