The Red-Haired Lover

After the death of her parents, nine-year-old Maria met the mysterious seventeen-year-old Sarkon Ritchie who claimed to be her father’s friend and wanted to take her under his wing to care for her. As she got older, she realized that Sarkon comes from a world entirely different from hers: a world of the plutocrats, the most powerful and wealthy people of Lenmont’s high society - and Maria’s life had taken an extraordinary turn… Despite Sarkon’s insistence on being Maria’s guardian, who swore to protect her in place of her father, Maria fell in love with that striking blue gaze and beastly charm. But what does it mean to love the second most powerful person of Lenmont’s high society? Will he ever love her back? Or will Maria be just another pawn of a power struggle? The Red-Haired Lover is created by Elle Gobe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Instantly, her heart fell twenty stories. Her handsome hulk was upset again. She couldn't stop staring at those broad shoulders, their muscles heaving heavily.

There must be something she could do to help him simmer down first.

"Maybe…" she started in the gentlest tone she could manage. "We can talk about this over lunch later. I can explain everything."

His face shot up. Its features were once again crushed with fury.
