Ivanna “Ivy” Kingston is twenty‑two when she learns her inheritance hinges on getting married before her twenty‑third birthday. With time running out, Ivy has no prospects—until Gavin Wells offers a mutually beneficial arrangement. What starts as a convenient contract quickly evolves into something neither expects in this dark romantic suspense.
Ivy and Wells’s deal ticks all the boxes for marriage of convenience, but Brandy Hynes cranks up the tension with secrets and hidden foes. The first half builds your connection to Ivy, Gavin, and his crew—Liam, Ty, and Gage—so when the twists arrive, they land with a punch. I found myself rooting hard for Ivy every time she proved she was more than an inheritance heiress. The payoff in the second half is electric and keeps you turning pages well past bedtime.
Huge thanks to Brandy Hynes and Valentine PR for sending me a copy of Burning Ivy.
“I’m not one to settle. If I can’t have the blaze I desire, I’d rather celebrate a life of ashes than fool myself into believing the warmth of an ember is enough.”
