Summary from GoodReads
From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a seductive novel of riches, romance, and redemption.
In the Dumont fashion empire, no heir has a reputation as decadent, arrogant, and ruthless as that of Pascal Dumont. Every transgression, an indecent pleasure. Every woman, a conquest. And none is more challenging than his new personal assistant, Gabrielle Caron. She’s defiant, alluring, and a mystery Pascal can’t wait to solve.
A former family servant and daughter of the head maid, Gabrielle’s returned as suddenly as she left eight years ago. No longer an awkward teen, the ethereal young beauty has amassed a wealth of resolve. She’ll need it. In hire to the devilishly charming scion, she’s come back for one reason only. And she dare not whisper why.
But as the nights grow more intimate at the Dumont maison, Gabrielle realizes that the last man she believed in is the one man she can trust with her secrets. For Pascal, falling in love means more than his own redemption. It could mean saving Gabrielle’s very life as they confront a dark and scandalous past…together.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have to admit that I didn't expect to like Pascal in his book. Knowing him from what he did, or didn't do, in the previous books I was prepared for lots of tongue-lashing and humiliation. So I found it poetic that he would meet Gabrielle, a woman with her own secrets and pain, who taught him what it means to be humane and accepting your mistakes.
The romance was signature Karina Halle, the setting also gorgeous, from Paris to the Canary islands, and the ending very action-packed and with memorable moments. Pascal's book ends this series in high fashion and I couldn't have asked for a better ending!
And don't miss the other two books of the series!
