Being a gentleman and having one-night stands were regular for him. And to stumble upon love when expecting it the least — was something that never dared to make an appearance on the crammed up schedule of a success-driven billionaire as Derek Landino… Not until he reluctantly accepted an invite to the University of North Carolina.
Weaving a tapestry of passionate love is nothing short of an art — and Ace Bryann happens to be quite the artist. While having a knack for twists and turns, she surely understands the craftsmanship behind writing a captivating tale of romance.
With writing, Bryann aims to seek an escape from an ordinary lifestyle. And by immersing herself in a creative world — she dares to dream in a world that does otherwise.
Based in Michigan, the author is acclaimed for her talent of effortlessly composing a harmonious blend of psychological thriller and romance genres in her stories. In the fall season of 2022, Bryann’s debut book, ‘Pictures Don’t Lie’ — published in 2021 — had been selected as a finalist for the Global Book Awards.
A billionaire obsessed with the flourishing of his business, Derek Landino, pays little-to-no attention to personal relationships in his life.
Like any other gentleman in his early 30’s with an unwavering social presence, he demands company of women whenever the need arises — in conferences, lavish parties, and fundraisers, whatnot.
His visionary life gets disrupted when his past love life reappears to wreak havoc. Obsession, revenge, blackmail, and bribery — the worst armors up to stand before him.
The responsibility of being an older brother comes with more downsides than perks. And no man knows this better than the now-reigning monarch of Calina, Derek Landino.
Having found the love of his life within Christine, he gets stuck in an unfortunate situation in the European microstate of Calina, where his life is on the line. With a history of revolutionary moves, fight against poverty, and assassination attempts — Landino’s homeland offers him an extremely corrupt backdrop.
Due to unknown reasons, the younger Landino brother, Nicola — urges to seek refuge under Derek’s reigning security.
“Romantic novels have always captivated my interest. But it is very important for any novel to be well-written. I came across this book called ‘Pictures Don’t Lie,’ in my friend’s portable library the other day, and I must say — the author didn’t disappoint. It was THAT good.”
“I grew up with two siblings, and both of them are boys. Bryann’s portrayal of the Landino brothers has left me awestruck. The personalities of Derek and Nicola are so goddamn different, but their dynamic progress through the course of both books have left me satisfied as an avid reader.”
“I am so sick of authors glorifying obsession and forced relationships. I am honestly just glad that the author for ‘Pictures Don’t Lie’ chose to do better than a few popular ones…”
“It was an impossible wish for me to experience a wholesome college romance, but I guess I am happy for Christine (and also jealous, lol) that she found love with the King of Calina…”
“Ace Bryann has left me mesmerized with her smooth yet out-of-the-world storytelling. The way she has portrayed the character of Derek has made me think whether this man is real. Because literally, how does a fictional man seem so damn close to reality?”
“Dare to dream — against all odds”
