Bloodlines and Borrowed Names
Part One: The Love Story
Sexy, glamorous, and sweet, Sugar Monreau is the most photographed woman in the world—yet the most invisible. For fourteen years, she has perfected the performance of the woman the world consumes while burying the grief of losing her parents at sixteen and fending for herself alone.
But when a move to New York places a photograph of a brooding Michelin-starred chef in her hands, longing burns its way through her chest. His restaurant reminds her of her childhood home in Positano. She tells herself her plan to go there is just curiosity. But deep down, it’s more. A connection that feels destined.
Dominic Moretti—tall, broad-shouldered, with smouldering green eyes and tattoos across his body—built Il Sogno with his hands and the fierce determination to escape his father’s legacy. When Sugar sits down at his bar alone, he’s intrigued—not by her fame or what she is, but by the way she savours his food, as if she grew up in a home where meals were love. And with the way her laugh fills a room, he just can't get her out of his head.
When they finally meet, what builds between them is real, consuming, and impossible to outrun—until the world around them intervenes. Sugar is controlled by a manager who has spent years convincing her that her worth is conditional. Dominic is trapped between the kitchen he built to escape his past and the criminal empire that still owns half of it, waiting patiently for him to choose: take the throne or lose everything.
And beneath it all lies a truth neither of them chose to carry—one that will shatter everything they've ever known.
Bloodlines and Borrowed Names is a passionate, sensual romance about the names we hide behind, the blood we can’t escape, and the love that finally asks us to be neither.
