The Tycoon's Socialite Bride/ Tracey Livesay/ 178 pgs

I always enjoy this author's books. This one is on the short side and it suffers just a tiny bit from the limited page count. I thought the ending was very rushed. Pamela is the daughter of a retired senator who believes image is everything for their family. Her mother passed away years ago and her father is often disappointed when Pamela doesn't live up to her mother's image. About a year ago, she dumped her fiance after he hit her. She doesn't tell her father this but does devote herself to the women's shelter that helped her out. Marcus is a successful real estate developer out for revenge against the wealthy hotel owner who treated his housekeeper mother like garbage. I liked these characters and loved the couple they made. If you're looking for a good, quick read, give this one a try.
