Publisher's Synopsis
Tip Bishop is the kingpin who plays no games. He's been running the State of Texas for years, until recently, had no plans of slowing down. He knows the dangers of his profession, but believes that the status is worth the risk... for himself. But, what most don't know is that Tip's greatest joy has nothing to do with his hustle and cash flow. And one wrong move of someone close to him makes his world come to a halt. Chloe Bishop is the average, sheltered teenager. She is spoiled, selfish, and reckless, with a bad attitude. Raised by a single mother, she's always pretty much gotten away with everything. But, when she makes a nearly fatal mistake, her mother, Chelsea, has had enough and makes the phone call that will change Chloe's life forever. Donte' "Synn" Taylor is Tip's protégé, and is learning everything he can, so that he'll be fit to inherit the throne when Tip decides to retire. Life is good, he's making money, and has a loyal woman by his side. But, when his girl, Tara, does the unforgivable, Synn finds himself wondering if she's the woman for him. In the first installment of The Princess and the Protégé Falling for a Bad Boy, three lives come together, through tragedy and responsibility, and the love and loyalty of each character is questioned when the smoke clears. Can Donte' righteously love the Boss' daughter without causing a rift between him and his mentor? Does Chloe grow the hell up and become the woman that Donte' needs and not cause more harm than good in his and her father's lives? Can Tip let his overprotectiveness go and trust his protégé with his heartbeat just like he does with his business? You'll have to read and see in Simone Michelle's debut novel.
