From New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello comes another hot Corisi romance about a bet, a love story, and the secrets that ruin relationships.

When billionaire and tech start-up capitalist Gian Romano strikes a bet with his niece Judy―the daughter of Dominic Corisi―to find even more of the Corisi family, his search leads him to the Boston area. But when he pops into a store, the woman who runs it becomes an instant distraction from his mission. Teagan is beautiful, strong, and too smart not to see through him.

What started as a friendly family bet quickly becomes complicated when sparks fly between Gian and Teagan. Nothing is as simple as it appears, and together they discover the past still has the power to hurt the ones they both love. Teagan won’t settle for less than the truth from Gian, but when it comes to her own secret aspirations, she holds back. If they learn to trust each other, they just might discover that some secrets are better when shared.

They’ll have to trust each other completely, or else their love, along with Gian’s lead on Judy, will be doomed.

Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers Lists for the first time back in 2012. Millions of her sales are evidence that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers.

What Kindle Reviewers write about her:

"Wow, hot at every page. Heart-stopping, fear raging, mind-blowing wonderful."

"I'm a true fan of Ms. Cardello. I ran on to her first book a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I could go on and on about the story like of this book, but I'm not. All of her books are total page turners, unique, heart-wrenching, and I love them all. There aren't two alike in the bunch and I feel like I know the characters personally. I personally read 97 authors' books. And I buy every book they put out. This author is in my top 10. Great job and keep them coming."

"Love this series. Got me to start reading again. I look forward to the next book. Thank you for giving me the love of reading back."

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.

She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.

    He Said Always is a fantastic read. I love Gian and the secrets he holds. His relationship with Judy is sweet. I love how he tries to reign her in her misguided ways. This may be the first book in the Lost Corisis but I love how we get the full Corisis and Romano family. I love how they are such a close family they are and Dominic hasn't changed even when it comes to his daughter Judy. Teagan is super smart and has her own secrets that I cannot wait for you to find out about. I love the pull between Teagan and Gian. There is something about them that just seems so effortless, sweet and passionate. The family secrets play a big role in this one and once you find that out then you wonder if Teagan and Gian can make it through as they find new members of the Corisis family. I love Gian's career choice. He will have you fanning yourself over and over again. Teagan and Gian are just perfect together and you really need to meet them.

I still don't k ow what began the previous series. I think it would be awesome if I had started from the beginning. I would be able to get the references that were made better. Enjoy. 🌻🥂

It's a cool story but I feel like I was thrown in the middle of a season and I needed to catch up as the season moved forward instead of starting fresh.

    He said always, Gian was always the more sensitive man of the family. His life wasn’t easy, but financially he. Outdoor have just about anything. He was adopted by his mother’s sister and husband, so really he cousins were his brothers. But his father was an evil man, though he was no longer living, his evil history lived on in the family. He was also the brother to Dominic Corisis the wealthy billionaire and known for being ruthless, really only in business. Anyway Gian challenged his niece Judy to help find lost family members. When he went to find them he met Teagan and instantly fell in love. Teagan was a genius and was working on a private project that she shared with no one. So she was always worried about who to trust. But Gian and Her were so attracted to one another, they were always together. Nice story loved it. I really hope Kal has a story.

    Nice to be back with Ruth and all thr families. The younger brother, Gian indirectly meets Teagan while he trying to locate his missing twin brother and sister. But they are more direct siblings to Dominic Corisi through their father Alesandro. Teagan has secrets she is reluctant to share with anyone as she has trust issues. But all works out in the end.

    At times the story was hard work and definitely not as engaging as other books by the author, but I persisted although did skim some paragraphs and did enjoy most of it. Teagan and Gian are great characters, who are perfect with each other and able to be themselves with each other. The story touches on issues around domestic abuse and the far reaching consequences it can produce. Family relationships are a key theme with Gian's dad providing great advice. I suspect many could benefit from some of the advice given throughout the book.
    There is a complex family tree involved, which may make more sense if you've read other Corisis stories , although you can still understand it if like me you haven't. I may consider other in the two series, as most of the characters were interesting.
