Rising Storm mid-season episode 1: After the Storm by Lexi Blake…ARC Review

After the Storm releases TOMORROW!

Rising Storm - Midseason 1

Synopsis:

In the wake of Dakota’s revelations, the whole town is reeling. Ginny Moreno has lost everything. Logan Murphy is devastated by her lies. Brittany Rush sees her family in a horrifying new light. And nothing will ever be the same…

My Review:

Gah!  How to even write this review without ruining things! Ok, let’s give this a shot…

First off, I am SO excited we get to visit with my favorite dysfunctional small town! This group has really become to mean something to me and with so much turmoil going on, I was so anxious for this mid-season episode.  I can say it was just as awesome as I wanted it to be.  My heart is breaking for Ginny now that she has to pick up the pieces after her sister made the announcement heard round the world (well, just Storm really, but you get the drift.)  If there ever was a character deserving of some kind of happy ending, it’s her.  Logan is also breaking my heart and the drama within the Rush family is hitting a breaking point.  Seriously, if this town were real and I lived there, I would no doubt be hanging out in the town square just waiting for some kind of drama!

But, by far what I loved the most about this episode is what Ms. Blake brings to the table with her writing.  That woman could write me her grocery list and I would love it.  She’s truly a talent and as always, this story was a testament to that.

Luckily we won’t have to wait long for the second mid-season episode because I am dying for more!

Thank you, Ms. Blake, for another awesome installment of Rising Storm!

Love Never Dies by Christina Dodd….ARC Review

Love Never Dies is out today!

29100908

Synopsis:

A murder committed. A love lost. A ghost haunted by the past.
Only one woman can right the wrongs…
If she can survive the night…

From this “master of the genre,” Christina Dodd, comes a suspenseful short story of this “remarkable, mesmerizing series” (Library Journal starred review) set in the
quaint — and deadly — coastal town of Virtue Falls…

 

My Review:

This was *gasp* the first book of author Christina Dodd that I’ve read and all I can say is I’m hooked!

This was a great short read filled with mystery and suspense.  A young intern new to town stumbles across a ghost while walking through the local park one evening.  He knows there’s danger lurking in these trees and a murderer is loose…on the hunt for new victims.  Although most people don’t see the ghost, she does, and he knows he must warn her to stay away and to stay safe.  But before he can give that warning, they become friends in a way, and they both sense a connection.  A connection that can solve a mystery which has lingered in her family for decades.  Could he be the key to keeping her alive and bringing her family closure?

Honestly, from start to finish, this story kept me glued to each page.  There was so much emotion and suspense poured into these pages. It was a great place for a new fan to start and I will certainly be scooping up all of Ms. Dodd’s other works.

I always love finding new authors and thank you, Ms. Dodd, for giving this blogger a few new series to dive into!

“A must read second chance love story!”

Claire Contreras, NYT Bestselling Author

heartbreaker final 2-29

 

Synopsis:

They say that time heals a broken heart, but you try moving on when your ex is the most famous man on the planet.

Every time I walk down the street, there he is on magazine covers and billboards plastered with his gorgeous face: Finn McKay. Now he’s a drop-dead sexy rock star, but when I knew him, he was just the boy from the wrong side of the tracks – and the first guy I ever loved. He broke my heart into a hundred pieces when he skipped town without saying goodbye – but now he’s back.
And he wants me.
I’m determined not to make the same mistakes twice, but the chemistry with Finn was always way too hot to ignore. He was the guy who had me sneaking out my bedroom window for just one more kiss, and breaking curfew parked by the riverbanks, steaming up his windows in the backseat of his car. The past five years have been good to him, real good, and between his dirty mind and that ‘I know how to make you scream’ smile, he’s breaking through my defenses all over again.

Maybe one last wild fling for old time’s sake is what I need to finally move on. But what happens when Finn wants more than my body? This time he wants everything.

THE CEO’S UNEXPECTED CHILD by Andrea Laurence

Frankenbachelor

I was asked to create the ultimate bachelor by taking three of my favorite famous guys and combining them into one perfect guy. It took me a while to determine what pieces I wanted. There are so many great choices out there and I’m sure as soon as someone mentions another great actor, I’ll think – oh, can I squeeze in a 4th or 5th guy? But here’s my final result:

– First, we’re going to harvest all the best parts of sexy Brit Tom Hiddleston. I want the smooth voice, the British accent, the artistic soul, the ability to recite Shakespearean sonnets and make a girl melt, the romantic at heart, and the accomplished ballroom dancer. Honestly, Tom is practically perfect on his own.

– Second, we’re going to add in a dash of Chris Pratt. Tom is tall and handsome, but I like a little more meat on my men. I’m all about Chris’s height and build, so we’ll take the body, but also, his great sense of humor, overall goodness and undying devotion to the woman in his life. I mean the guy dresses up as Starlord and visits kids in the hospital. I’ll take one of those, please! Even before the six-pack, he was a catch.

– Finally, we’ll need a little Matt Bomer. I swear, is there a prettier man? To quote Lady Gaga in American Horror Story, “your boy has jawline for days!” Indeed, he does. So, definitely need the face, the dreamy blue eyes, and the sense of style. He’s also a dedicated family man, so gotta love that.

There! I can’t think of a more perfect Frankenbachelor than this one. Romantic, talented, handsome, tall, caring, and thoughtful with an accent. Yes! Let’s start mass producing these, Dr. Frankenstein!

 

Song Playlist

Admittedly, this playlist is a little all over the place. I listen to a lot of different genres of music and it all comes together into a crazy playlist. Luca and Claire have a complicated and untraditional relationship, and not one that I think has been captured in the perfect song. I tried to find songs that represent their hurt in the past, their willingness to move forward, and finally to fall in love.

Q&A with Anne MatherA Forbidden Temptation

  • What’s your favorite love story? Fiction or non-fiction.

I have dozens of favourite love stories, but GREEN DARKNESS and KATHERINE by Anya Seton are high on my list.

  • Is anything in A Forbidden Temptation based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?

No, A FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION is not based on any real life experiences, but I can say that the Northumbrian Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the UK and incidentally, I do believe in ghosts.

  • You get a brilliant phrase/idea/thought at an inappropriate time (while driving, drifting off to sleep/in the shower). What do you do?

I always make a note of any ideas I have, and in consequence I have a notebook full of them!

  • What’s your favorite line from any movie?

I love the film, DIRTY DANCING, and there are many lines from that script I could nominate, not least the most famous ‘nobody puts Baby in the corner.’

  • If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be?

The only slogan for life I believe is Charles Darwin’s ‘IT IS NOT THE STRONGEST OF THE SPECIES THAT SURVIVES, NOR THE MOST INTELLIGENT, BUT THE ONE MOST RESPONSIVE TO CHANGE’.

  • If you could live anywhere on this planet, and take everything that you love with you, where would you choose to live? Tell us about your choice.

I love where I live now, and although I enjoy travelling and seeing different places, I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else.

 

  • What was your favorite scene to write in A Forbidden Temptation? Why?

I think one of my favourite scenes was when Sean was confronted by Lisa’s ghost.  I really wanted Sean to meet his match.

 

  • What did you find most useful in learning to write? What was least useful or most destructive?

I don’t remember having to learn to write.  I started scribbling in exercise books as soon as I could write and my stories grew as I did.  There’s nothing destructive about writing.  It’s the best job in the world.

  • What are five words that describe your writing process?

Time, time, discipline, discipline, satisfaction.

  • What are you working on now? What is your next project?

I’m in the process of writing my next book for Harlequin Presents.   I’m also working on an ebook, SILENT ECHO, that is coming out with Kindle later this year.

 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter!

Furious Cover

 

 

 

Synopsis: 

Faith McMann comes home to a nightmare: her husband is killed and her son and daughter are taken. Although the intruders leave her for dead, she survives. Crippling grief and fear for her children make life unbearable. Until her anguish turns to anger…and she trades victimhood for vengeance. Frustrated with the law’s efforts, she takes action to rescue her children—and wreaks havoc on the brutal criminals who tore them from her. With her family and newfound allies at her side, Faith descends into the hellish underworld of human trafficking, determined to make those who prey on the innocent pray for mercy. The forces she’s up against have already proven that their ruthlessness knows no bounds. And there’s nothing they won’t do to turn Faith’s crusade into a suicide mission. But they’re about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a mother fighting for her children—especially one who’s earned the nickname Furious.

Furious by T.R. Ragan Excerpt

The kids unlatched their seatbelts, jumped out of the car, and ran through the garage and into the house before the song ended. Faith sang along until the last verse, then sat there for a moment and soaked in a little peace and quiet.

Working full-time and raising two young kids tended to make moments like this rare.

Her cell phone buzzed. It was her sister. “Hey, what’s up?” Faith asked.

“I’ll tell you what’s up,” Jana said. “Steve is driving me nuts! I quit drinking, I stopped devouring cake and cookies, but now he won’t let me lift anything heavier than a milk carton. This baby is going to be born stressed out if he doesn’t chill.”

Faith smiled. Her sister was a drama queen. “What time will you be coming tomorrow?”

“Oh, my God, I forgot about the party.”

“You have got to be kidding me,” Faith said. “You were supposed to make six dozen cupcakes. Do you know how much I still have to do before—”

Her sister’s laughter cut her off mid sentence.

Faith sighed when she realized Jana had been joking about not making the cupcakes. “That’s not funny, Jana.”

“You’re such a dweeb. How could I possibly forget to make six dozen cupcakes when you’ve reminded me every single day for the past two weeks?”

“I don’t know, but I have to go.”

“Wait—Have you told Craig the news?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“He’s been busy with work—and, you know, bills stacking up, new tires for the car, busted water heater last month. I haven’t found the right moment to tell him about baby number three.”

“He’ll be thrilled. Don’t wait too long, OK?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Faith disconnected the call and was about to head off for the store when she remembered the grocery list hanging on the refrigerator. She left her purse in the car and climbed out. Weaving around toys and bikes, she headed through the garage door into the kitchen, where it looked as if a tornado had swept through the house. Kitchen drawers had been left open.

Papers and broken dishes were scattered across the floor.

Her heart raced. What is going on?

Just as she was about to call out her husband’s name, she stepped into the family room and saw Craig on the floor, bound and gagged.

A man she didn’t recognize hovered over him.

The scene before her made no sense.

Her heart pounded in her chest, making it difficult to breathe as her gaze darted around the room.

And then she spotted them.

Lara and Hudson sat together on the couch. Their hands had been duct-taped behind their backs. More duct tape covered their mouths. Another man stood close by, watching over them.

Time stopped as she tried to figure out what to do.

Craig always said they should buy a gun, but she didn’t want to keep one in the house. Eyes wide, she looked at the knife drawer. Grab a knife? Or run and alert the neighbors?

The two men exchanged a glance. Their eyes said it all.

She turned and ran.

If she could get inside the car and lock the doors, she could honk the horn or drive the car right through the wall and into the house if she had to. That might get one of the neighbors’ attention.

She flew through the back door leading to the garage and screamed at the top of her lungs before someone grabbed her from behind, twisted her around, and brought her face up close to his.

“Where is it?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said as she struggled to get free.

He sneered. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with desperation.

He smelled of stale tobacco. Strong arms held her in place. She thought of every show she’d ever seen on getting away from an assailant, but fighting him was useless. “Let us go!” she cried.

He shook her hard enough to make her teeth rattle.

“You have five seconds to tell me where it is!”

This time when she screamed, she dug her heel into his foot and tried to twist out of his grasp.

He slammed her to the ground. Her head hit the cement floor, and her world turned black.

So she whacks a detective withhis computer keyboard and gets sentenced to anger management sessions. If thiswere a cookie-cutter thriller, the male hero would be tracking the killers withan automatic weapon and maybe a major babe beside him. But our hero is smarterthan that, and her revenge is a product of relationships, not bullets. Inclasses, she meets other victims as angry as she is, and, together, in finescenes of action and suspense, they seek explanations and vengeance as well asthe children’s rescue, which takes them into a slimy world of humantrafficking. Learn here about “lot lizards” and “kiddie strolls” on the way toa wild finale. Suspenseful and smart, in equal measure.” —Don Crinklaw,Booklist

review

 

When I started reading Dare Me, I had expected this to be a witty read with a touch of some sort of angst in it.  What I didn’t expect was the emotions I would feel when everything I wasn’t expecting came to fruition.

“I dare you.  Those three fucking words will get me every time.”

Dare Me has a little bit of everything mixed together.  It’s witty and humorous, suspenseful and angst.  I loved the characters – both main and secondary.  I loved how Rebecca wrote this story and let it play out.  It’s a slow build and then everything unfolds and you are left going through every emotion.

“Use your wings —soar.  Embrace your life.”

The story is told from both Holt and Saige’s POV.  Can I just point out that not only do I love the characters, but I freaking love their names!  Anyway – the camaraderie between Saige and her coworkers and roommate is just amazing – so natural and real.  The connection between Holt and Saige is sorta insta-love but neither admit it.  But at the same time, they build upon it til they can’t lie to themselves or each other.

“What’re you doing to me?   The same thing you’re doing to me.”

Another hit for Rebecca Shea.  I really enjoyed reading this book.  It’s got a lot of humor in it which keeps things light.  Yet it doesn’t take away from the emotion where it’s needed.  Overall, it’s a well rounded story that Rebecca wrote extremely well.

Sometimes you have to take that leap…or that dare…so you can learn to live and love again! Saige and Holt’s story had me on a rollercoaster of emotions” – Crystal, Barnes and Noble

 

This book hooked me instantly, and kept me interested throughout. I didn’t want to put it down! Another winner from Rebecca Shea!!” – Not Your Mama’s Romance

Saved by the Seal by Diana Gardin….Blog Tour Stop & Review


Title: Saved By The SEAL  (STANDALONE Battle Scars novel)
Author : Diana Gardin 
Genre: Romance 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
He saved her life. She showed him how to live it . . .
When he sees a woman drowning, Grisham Abbot immediately leaps into action. The Navy SEAL forgets his training, his past, and the explosion that forever scarred his body and his mind. He can only remember what he was born to do. But saving Greta Owen is a complication Grisham is definitely not ready for. She’s stunning and gorgeouslike sunlight after months of darkness. Yep, Grisham is so, so screwed.
Greta knows that the smart thing to do would be to run from Grisham. He’s a wounded warrior, and his head is a big-time mess. The problem is that Greta wants to make him her mess. One kiss and she’s completely in over her head. And if this SEAL risked himself to save her, then she must find a way to bring him back to life . . .

My Review:

Saved by the Seal is the second book in author Diana Gardin’s Battle Scar series and can be read as a standalone although, I loved the first book in the series so I vote to read both.  I was so excited to read this newest installment and I have to say, Diana delivered again.  I loved this book.
Greta Owen and Grisham Abbot have known each other for years.  She’s also had a crush on him for just as long.   With a mutual group of friends, they always crossed paths.  But that was before Grisham left for the SEALs and a lot has happened since then.  Now fate has a plan to have their paths cross once more when Grisham, now home, comes to Greta’s rescue and saves her life after a bit of a surfing mishap.  They both soon realize they’ve been brought back into each others lives for a reason and that they really shouldn’t let it go…no matter how much baggage Grisham carries, how many emotions run high, or what danger lies ahead.
Diana Gardin is an author I always enjoy reading.  She delivers wonderful characters, steamy romance, and an interesting plot.  Grisham and Greta’s story delivers all that and more.  I loved seeing Grisham again and that he got his story.  Things were a bit precarious with him after the last book and I was worried he wouldn’t find his own happy ending.  He’s got a jerk of a father, a life altering injury to deal with, and an uncertain future.  He’s an honorable, loyal, and sexy warrior I just loved and my heart hurt for him.  Enter Greta.  She’s exactly what the doctor ordered from him.  She’s bright and funny, sweet and sassy.  She gives Grisham a bright spot to look toward in his darkness and they are wonderful as a couple.  I won’t spoil anything but I will say Diana wrote a movie worthy ending for these two!
The other layer to this story I really enjoyed is the drama surrounding a possible stalker Greta is dealing with.  That added element of suspense was awesome and Diana did a great job at keeping us guessing until the end.  Pieces started falling into place and I had no idea it would end the way it did! 
Of course, getting to see more of the gang we were introduced to in the first book was also a treat.  I loved Dare and Berkeley and I can’t wait to see what’s up with Mea.  Hopefully her book is next!
Overall, this was a great read filled with heat, emotion, and a dab of suspense.  Thank you, Diana, for a wonderful book!

Diana Gardin was born and raised combing the coasts of Southeastern Virginia. She is now a happy resident of South Carolina as she married into an enormous Carolina-rooted family. She loves the beach, and even more than that she loves to read while sitting on the beach.
While writing was always a passion of Diana’s, she enrolled in college to become an elementary-school teacher. After eight years of teaching in both Virginia and South Carolina, she decided to stay at home with her first child. This decision is what opened her eyes to the fact that she still very much loved to write, and her first novel was born. Diana is the author of several works of New Adult Romance, including The Ashes Series, The Nelson Island Series, and the Battle Scars Series.

ONE TO TAKE

~ Mariska ~

“Can we go somewhere else?” Our faces are so close, and Stuart’s smoky hazel eyes brim with… something. “Away from the noise?”

I’m afraid to be alone with him. I don’t know if I’m strong enough yet. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be strong enough to tell him to go to hell. I don’t even know if that’s what I want to say. Still, with all we’ve been through and all I’ve learned, I can’t be the person I was before.

“I don’t know,” I answer truthfully. “I’m not sure if I’m ready.”

He glances down, and my eyes run all over his face. His hair is longer than he usually wears it. It ends in shaggy curls around his ears. His face is lined and tired, and his body is lean again, like it was when we were first together when he was fighting the drugs.

“You’ve been working.”

“Trying to kill the pain.” His voice is rough, and it moves something inside me.“

The stairs in the back lead down to the beach.” I point in the direction of the DJ booth. “We can walk along the shore if you want.”

He nods and follows me as I lead us through the crowd to the back entrance. A wide patio is attached to the back of the club, and couples are scattered around in different levels of engagement. I don’t linger, walking through them and going down the wide staircase to the beach below. Stuart is right behind me, and the closeness of this man sends waves of desire crashing through my insides. I have to fight it.

“It’s warm tonight,” I say, pausing to slip off my booties.

“Can I help you with those?”

Shaking my head, I walk straight to the water. It’s breaking in small waves tonight, sending little ripples of briny sand between my toes.“

So you’re here with Pete?” I can’t tell if that’s jealousy in his voice, but I decide not to notice.

“He’s easy.” My voice is quiet. “Safe.”

“Since when do you like safe and easy?” The taunting in his voice makes me want to cry. I can’t do this with him. Not after everything.

“What do you want, Stuart?”

“The same thing I’ve always wanted. You.” Another wave of emotion crashes in my chest. “No.” Shaking my head, I turn to the side. “I can’t hear that from you. You left me when I needed you. I reached for you, and you weren’t there.”

Stepping forward, he catches my hand, pulling me to his chest. “You were so hurt. I felt like seeing me hurt you more.”

I push him away. “You blamed me. You went away because you were angry with me for what happened. Be honest. You went away to hurt me.”

His chin drops, and I watch the line of his jaw move. “I was angry.”

“I knew it!” I shout, turning to walk away, but he grabs my arm, stopping me.”

“But not at you.” The pain in his eyes expands, and I see my torment reflected there. “I was angry with myself. I didn’t protect you when you needed me, and I couldn’t forgive myself for letting you be hurt. I love you, Mariska. You’re my gypsy. You’re my wife.”

I shake my head, pulling away. “I’m not your wife. I’m not your anything. I never was.”

He looks down, and I watch as he runs a hand over his stomach. “To me you’re everything.”

“No.” Shaking my head, I cover my ears with my hands. “I only wanted a family. I wanted one so badly, I was ready to believe anything to make it real. I was young and stupid.

“No you weren’t. You’re mine.” His strong arms surround me, pulling me to his body. “We can’t go from what we had to this. It’s not possible. You came in and changed my life. You changed everything. Every day you’re in my mind. I can’t shake you no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I punish myself.

“Stop…” My insides ache. Every word he says is a firebrand to my chest. “You don’t know what I know. When those things happened, you thought I had a gift. You thought I had special knowledge, but I don’t…”

EXCERPT

“I get it,” she said. “I finally get it.” She wouldn’t look up at me, instead concentrating on her hands. There were a few freckles on the backs of them. I wanted to take one of her purple pens and connect them to make constellations on her skin.

“Get what?” I asked. Her eyes came up to my face.

“Why you’re so obsessed with me.” I raised both eyebrows, but inside, I was panicked. What if she figured me out? That would be disastrous. It would be the end.

“And why is that?” I said, trying to be playful.

“I’m mysterious,” she said, she wiggled her fingers in front of my face and the right side of her mouth drew up. Was that a smirk? Did Ingrid just smirk at me?

“Oh, is that what you think it is?” After so many intense moments, this moment of levity was like a cool drink for a parched throat.

“Definitely. What else could it be?” I wasn’t going to answer that.

“You got me,” I said, putting my hands up as if I surrendered. “I’m a sucker for a mystery.”

She nodded and I thought I spotted another smile, but it was gone quickly, stuffed away behind rigid lips.

“Thank you,” she said, so quietly that I almost didn’t catch it.

“You’re very welcome, Ingrid. Anytime.” I got up and brought her some pizza and another glass of water. I had the feeling she hadn’t been eating much recently.

She carefully ate two slices and had two water refills. It made the color in her cheeks come back.

“You must think I’m crazy,” she said.

“No. I don’t think that at all.” I wouldn’t think that about anyone, least of all her.

“Liar.”

“I’m not lying. Look at me.” I would never get used to the way her eyes seared into me.

“I don’t think you’re crazy, Ingrid. Not even a little bit.” Her eyes narrowed and I could tell she was assessing if I was telling the truth or not.

“Okay,” she finally said. “I believe you.”

“Good.”

Deception by Aleatha Romig…Cover Reveal

 

Deception1

 

BK3 Deception E-Book Cover

 

DECEPTION, book THREE of FIVE in Aleatha Romig’s INFIDELITY series.

“Infidelity – it isn’t what you think”

It all began in Del Mar, a chance meeting with a single rule–one week only.

Or did it?

Lennox ‘Nox’ Demetri and Alexandria ‘Charli’ Collins had every intention of following it but rules are made to be broken. In CUNNING they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but to follow them.

Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli’s hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that’s pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?

Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox’s and Charli’s pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.

Can deals brokered in the past be negated by something as pure as love and as steamy as the attraction shared by Nox and Charli? Or was it all a deception—starting with that very first meeting?

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists and turns, the depth of this epic romantic suspense continues to reach new levels as past and present intertwine. The Infidelity series will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

DECEPTION is a full-length novel, over 300 pages, and the third of five books in the INFIDELITY series – It isn’t what you think!

BETRAYAL 1One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as “Charli,” she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

 

“Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

 

Lennox “Nox” Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

 

One week. No more.

 

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

 

“Is it really cheating if you’re doing it to yourself?”

CUNNING 1“He owns you. Whatever he tells you to do you do”.

 

One year. No future. A past that won’t go away.

Lennox “Nox” Demetri broke his own rule by making a deal. It may not have been directly with the devil, but that doesn’t mean Satan himself isn’t watching. Was it fate that brought Charli into his life and his bed? What will happen when rules are broken and secrets are revealed?

“New rules…my rules.”

Alex “Charli” Collins found pleasure with Nox like she’d never known. That was before she knew his last name. Now that Infidelity is involved and the rules have changed, what will result when real life and fantasy collide?

Is it really cheating if you’re doing it to yourself?

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own.
