The boss’s daughter is off-limits. Especially when she steals the job that should have been his. Vanya has never measured up to her parents’ demanding standards. After a crushing humiliation at her last job, she jumps at the chance to prove herself when her father entrusts her with a leadership role in his company. Tendo has had nothing handed to him on a silver platter. The son of a refugee, … him on a silver platter. The son of a refugee, he’s had to claw his way up every rung of the career ladder. Then the CEO’s daughter swoops in to take the job that should have been his. Tendo wants to resent the pampered princess, making his growing attraction unexpected—and entirely unwelcome.
Vanya feels grossly unqualified to manage the brilliant and ambitious Tendo, especially when she realizes that she’s beginning to admire him for a lot more than his professional qualities. And although he knows he’s falling hard and fast, Tendo is proud of being a self-made man. A relationship with the boss’s daughter is exactly the sort of special treatment he despises.
But as Vanya’s and Tendo’s worlds collide, they discover the power of honesty, grace, and trust—and the possibilities of a future built together.

I really enjoyed reading this book! Tendo and Vanya are such likeable characters that it makes you want to cheer them on. This is a story of love triumphing over social status. This is a clean book that I believe you will enjoy, and I would recommend it.
This is a new author to me and I liked how she developed this sweet Christian interracial romance.
Vanya had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth but she never took that for granted. She worked hard and wanted to earn what she was given. When she was publicly humiliated at a gala event, she left her brother’s company and wanted to strike out on her own. But, her father had a wonderful proposition to head a new content branding department at his company. She jumped at the chance. It wasn’t until she had completely fallen in love with the job and the team, that she discovered that the job should really have been her teammate, Tendo. By that time, she had already developed feelings for him.
I won’t give away anymore of the story but there is a happy ending and I loved how the story played out. I look forward to learning about Eden’s story.
I was given an arc copy of this book by Hidden Gems and I willingly offer my honest opinion.
A fast paced read, you will not put down when you start. Just like the tittle, Tendo and Vanya had lots of lessons to learn in love. Trust and self sacrifice were a huge factor to their journey. They had a few obstacles and mountains to climb before getting their HEA.
I love how Tendo and Vanya are not bound by the constraints of their diversity of background and ethnicity. Each of them have worked toward success despite their challenges.
Vanya comes from a life of privilege and was given her job because her father owns the company. She questions her abilities, but is determined to prove herself.
Tendo comes from a life of struggle in a mixed race home and has worked his way up the ladder by sheer grit. After losing a position that should have been his to the boss’s daughter he isn’t sure his growing attraction is a good thing.
A relationship seems like a bad idea, but I love how they come together as friends first and then can’t resist the chemistry between them.
This is a different type of love story and I’m all in.
Tendo and Vanya come from very different worlds. She was born with a silver spoon and then some, whereas Tendo was brought up on a rough housing estate by his mum in crushing poverty.
Tendo has worked hard to get where he is, putting his personal life on hold to secure a future for himself and his mum. He doesn’t appreciate his boss’s daughter breezing in and stealing what should have been his big chance.
Vanya is crushed to hear what her friend and mentor really thinks of her, reinforcing what she already believes to be true. Keen to prove herself, she quickly accepts a position in her father’s company heading up a new department.
Will Tendo be able put aside his resentment and prejudice about the entitled princess who’s stolen his job?
Will Vanya be able to put aside her own fears and insecurities and rise to the challenge?
This is the first book I’ve read by Milla Holt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but this story reminds us that sometimes we need to look beyond our own preconceived ideas and prejudices and seek out what’s buried beneath the surface.
This is a well written book that just the right amount of drama and suspense to keep you turning the pages. Vanya and Tendo’s story was full of emotions and was a joy to read.
Vanya’s family was well-off. She worked for her brother’s company. When something happened, she went to work at her father’s company. He put her in charge of a new department. This department was created because of the hard work of a young man, Tendo. He was raised by a poor single mother. He vowed that one day he would make enough money to move her out of low income housing. Vanya and Tendo had to work together. This is a very well written book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book took a bit to build up, but it was worth it. It made the characters and storyline feel real. The characters are interesting and draw you in.
The main love story explores interesting dynamics that come with challenging moral and ethical considerations. I particularly appreciate the way the main male character is written
I won’t spoil the book, but there is a scene that takes place at the ocean that is so moving and was mu favorite moment in the book.
