The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 11

Percival didn’t see it coming that the person he’d been searching for would turn out to be in the Hawthorn family. What was her connection with the Hawthorns?

Vivienne was also taken aback to bump into the guy she’d helped out before right here.

Vivienne was taken aback. What a cheeky guy!
