Die »Lakefront Billionaires« sind zurück! Der krönende Abschluss der spicy Romance-Reihe von TikTok-Sensation und SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Lauren Asher.

Benvenuti a Dreamland… ...dove i sogni diventano realtà e dove i matrimoni non sempre sono solo affari di cuore. Declan Kane ha trascorso l'infanzia a proteggere i fratelli minori dall'ira e dalla violenza del padre e gli ultimi tre anni a lavorare come un forsennato per tentare di spodestarlo dai vertici della Kane Company, l'azienda multimiliardaria leader nel settore dei parchi di divertimento. Tuttavia, come già suo fratello Rowan ha dovuto sperimentare sulla propria pelle, per poter accedere all'eredità del nonno e diventare finalmente amministratore delegato, Declan deve piegarsi a due desideri, entrambi quasi impossibili, data la sua scarsa propensione a intrattenere relazioni sociali che non riguardino il lavoro: dovrà sposarsi e mettere al mondo un erede. Ora, chi può essere tanto sconsiderata da accettare di diventare sua moglie, dal momento che Declan lavora giorno e notte, disprezza le persone e impartisce ordini senza curarsi dei sentimenti altrui? Iris, ecco chi! Insostituibile assistente personale e segretaria di Declan da tre lunghi anni, Iris è indifferente ai modi bruschi e alle occhiatacce del suo capo, tanto che ha imparato a riderci su e a considerarlo un amico. Del resto arrendersi, per lei, non è un'opzione. Così, quando capisce che potrebbe veder sfumato il loro duro lavoro, Iris non ci pensa due volte e accetta di firmare il contratto che la legherà a Declan. Ma fingere di essere innamorati davanti agli occhi curiosi di tutti e interrompere la recita in privato non sarà affatto semplice. Col passare del tempo, tra intime cene a base di pasta in scatola e una luna di miele forzata, i modi scortesi di Declan si ammorbidiscono e la difficoltà a fidarsi di Iris si attenua, costringendo entrambi a domandarsi dove finisca la finzione e inizi la realtà. Una realtà fatta di attrazione, risate, complicità e parole intraducibili che sottendono tutte allo stesso significato e alla stessa paura: da un matrimonio finto può nascere un amore vero?

Benvenuti a Dreamland… ...il luogo in cui gli occhi dei piccoli si accendono di magia e gli adulti tornano bambini. Un mondo di attrazioni adrenaliniche e castelli da fiaba. Ed è tutto di Rowan Kane. O meglio, del nonno che nel suo testamento ha costretto i nipoti a esaudire una serie di richieste folli, di quelle che stravolgono la vita, come condizioni indispensabili per ottenere quel che gli spetta di diritto. Un tempo Rowan era uno di quei bambini che vivevano in un mondo incantato. Ma poi la vita gli ha insegnato che gli unici sogni possibili sono quelli che si realizzano col duro lavoro, i soldi e il successo. Un po’ cinico? Probabilmente sì, ma lui ha scoperto a sue spese che il modo per ottenere ciò che vuole è tenere il cuore a bada e le emozioni sottochiave. E ora, per ammodernare Dreamland ha elaborato un piano a prova di bomba. Ogni piano che si rispetti, però, deve fare i conti con degli imprevisti, e quello di Rowan è lei. Un uragano di idee e sorrisi, una ventata di aria fresca e spillette colorate: la sua dipendente Zahra Gulian. Zahra è l’opposto di Rowan. Lei crede fermamente nell'impatto positivo che Dreamland ha sulla vita delle persone e si sforza sempre di mantenere l’ottimismo. Anche da semplice truccatrice, Zahra sogna in grande e vorrebbe entrare nel team creativo del parco. Quando una sera, dopo aver assunto una quantità di alcol poco raccomandabile, si ritrova a stroncare l’attrazione più costosa di Dreamland, quello che dovrebbe essere motivo di licenziamento si rivela essere un'offerta per il lavoro dei suoi sogni. Sarà per la sua arguzia, che Rowan le dà una promozione e la obbliga a lavorare con sé? Oppure perché è rimasto stregato da quella ragazza bella da mozzare il fiato, caparbia e creativa, capace di risposte taglienti che gli fanno venir voglia di tapparle la bocca con un bacio? Zahra confonde Rowan, tuttavia lui non riesce a lasciarla andare. Il lieto fine esiste solo nelle fiabe, e non sarà di certo Zahra a fargli cambiare idea. O forse sì? Un moderno Orgoglio e Pregiudizio ambientato in un parco divertimenti amatissimo, tra montagne russe e case infestate, tra zucchero filato e la magia dell’immaginazione.
