Pretty Rings and Broken Things

A Black Tie Billionaires Standalone

By: Kat Singleton

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Lee Samuels

Pretty rings can't always fix broken things.

Unfortunately, that doesn't stop powerful men from trying, which is why instead of getting the wedding I'd always dreamed of, I was forced to marry the heir to our rival company and join a family that we've hated for generations.

An arranged marriage to make our problem disappear.

Then again, I'm the one who snuck around behind my father's back and ended up at the center of a scandal that could ruin my family's reputation.

Now, the only person who can protect me is the cold and calculated billionaire Archer Moore.

The marriage is only supposed to be for show, but Archer can be very convincing. He's demanded we move in together. That we kiss. That we make it look—and feel—real. He's a man who is obsessed with getting what he wants—and I'm starting to think what he wants is me.

The closer we get, and the less we pretend, the more I question if the grudges between our families are too much to overcome for a marriage that was built on pretty rings and broken things.

Pretty Rings and Broken Things is a billionaire, arranged marriage romance. It is Winnie's book and a complete standalone.

Fabulous!!!!

Another beautiful story! Never wanted this to end!
The narration was beautiful.
I absolutely loved the characters ❤️

Loved the book so much I bought the audio version

Winnie thinks she's ready to take the next step with a guy she's been seeing, who also works for her father as a driver. Unfortunately, he has ulterior motives. In an attempt to prevent his revenge with going public, an arranged marriage is set up for Winnie.

Archer is next in line to take over his father's hotel empire. His father agrees with the owner of a rival hotel chain that an arranged marriage between their children is in their best interest. Archer doesn't disagree either. He sees this union as a benefit for him when he does take over the hotel chain.

Winnie and Archer are not friends. They grew up being taught to despise the each other and never trust them. Their arranged marriage is agreed upon and planned out within a day. Winnie has to move into Archer's brownstone the day of the marriage and take on the role of his wife rather quickly. She doesn't trust Archer though.

Archer is quick to realize his feelings for Winnie but wants her to trust him before he'll act upon them. Winnie struggles with fully trusting Archer but does enjoy his company.

I loved this story and the characters in it. I also loved how Margo and Beck make an appearance in this book. The friendships that are written into this series are just what everyone needs. Archer is the best arranged marriage groom there is. Stone cold to the world but the biggest teddy bear with his wife.

What a Romance!

Love, Love, Love this story!! The storyline is great! Love the readers! Kept me listening.

Loved it!!

This is the second book I have read from this author and both are reread worthy. I enjoy her male characters the most. How they are portrayed as strong men and she shares his emotions with us,

Love it

Norbert

U loved everything about this book, WInnie Archer. I need to know about Emma now!

Wonderful

Wonderful story. Archer was just brudy enough. Winnie was just innocent and sweet enough. Enjoyed how the love story developed. Just two lose ends bugged me. What happened to Blake, did he live New York or just hide. Also how Archer and Winnie first kissed so many years back. Why no details about that first meeting. We should also get a book about Winnie's brother Tyson. He seemed interesting.

Great Story

I loved this story. The narrator's did a grest job. I would love to hear more from the other girls in the story.

Trust is everything

If Kat writes it, I’m gonna devour it. Period. I flew through this book, only stopping to sleep a little. I just gobbled up Archer and Winnie. I thought Kat couldn’t possibly outdo Beck and Margo, but she outdoes herself again. I loved the angst, pining, and protectiveness that Archer has with Winnie. I don’t think anyone can write an obsessed billionaire like Kat. Their easy friendship despite the drama was super sweet, and I loved watching them learn to trust one another and fall in love. Savannah and Lee were too good in this audio.

Melting me

This author has capture my heart in making fake romances into real one and this book melting me into the remarkable feeling of falling in love with archer and Winnie story. How fake arranged marriage like theirs can merge as powerful away in showing how marriage can these love and protect and support each other. Well written and narrated loved it
