Surprising Destiny — Danielle Stewart

Book 8 in the Barrington Billionaire Series

Layla Kinross is next in line for the throne. Not real royalty, but the niece of the current CEO at the wildly successful Kinross Department Store empire. The only problem? She's not ready. There was supposed to be a long transition time but her aunt's illness has uprooted the plan. The perfectly plotted next few years now must be crammed into a few short months.

Kenan Conner has taken the leap. Boarded the plane and left his seaside home in Gallamare, Ireland. He intends to finally be part of the family he never knew he had in South Boston. Nothing goes as planned when he's fired from his new job for playing knight in shining armor for a lovely old woman who's lost in the city. When she offers him a new job, it seems too good to be true. If only he can survive the wrath of her beautiful and fiery niece, Layla.

When loss and sudden change become inevitable, Kenan and Layla find themselves clinging to each other. But their grip may not be tight enough to survive all the people trying to tear them apart.
