He was understandably surprised I'd turned his living room into an art space. Life is certainly \u003cem\u003efull\u003c\/em\u003e of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while travelling. I'd been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis. Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat was when Dorian—the late billionaire's only son—showed up. I'd never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He'd been living on the other side of the country. But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father's legacy. Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe didn't seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn't kick me out. We stayed out of each other's way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theatre. Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible. I was falling in love with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUntil everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again. And fate left me pining for the one man I'd ever loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48127449759980,"sku":"9781966867043","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781966867043-the-house-guest.jpg?v=1786004079","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/the-house-guest-by-penelope-ward-9781966867043","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
