Sarah McNeilly is a rare find in the tabloid industry. She won’t ignite gossip. She finds the truth. And for once, that’s what her boss wants. With her job on the line, Sarah’s latest assignment is to identify the elusive “Maximillian Smith,” unearth his connection to the billionaire Stone family, and dig up some dirt.

Yesterday Max was an ordinary workingman, concerned with little more than the price of gas. Now he suddenly has a family, jaw-dropping wealth, and an avid (if clumsy) reporter on his trail. With the press threatening to destroy his new life, he needs to release his real story strategically, and Sarah is the key—not to mention an adorable yet invaluable resource for finding his mother.

As Max and Sarah team up to peel back the ugly layers of Max’s past, they stumble heart-first into their fiery attraction. But when their research threatens their newly built trust, it’s their future that is on the line.

Bybee is pouring on the angst with the second book in The Heirs series and I loved every single minute! We knew in Chase’s book that things were about to get good with the discovery of a secret sibling, but I never expected Max to be so darn fine! He’s my favorite so far because there’s just something about a rugged working man! The story was intense and Bybee weaved a very believable story and reaction. The plot was well developed with emotion, romance and a sweet happily ever after topping it all off. I can’t wait for Alex’s story!

I highly recommend this book as well as the first in the series to anyone who enjoys a family centric plot with the drama of obligation being the starting point as each sibling finds their forever love with lots of sass along the way.
