COMING NOVEMBER 5TH! Pre-order now!
A fun, sexy read!
She did it again! Rick Sanders is every bit as arrogant (in the best way) and commanding as I knew he could be. The little half smile he gets… I can just see him. The adult equivalent of that one incredibly sexy guy we all knew in high school. The one who was bad. The one who broke the rules, smoked, and could have any girl he wanted. That’s Rick, but as an adult. He is bad (or is he?). He is arrogant (yeah, that one is without question). He gets what he wants, when he wants it. Including women. But what happens when a woman well removed from his normal type crashes into his life and catches his eye? Well, I think we know what happens… (cue the sexy times music).
Just as she did with the Santiago trilogy before it, she has again crafted a sexy alpha man who will have any woman (including me, admittedly) swooning (is that drool?) right from go. Naturally the relationship progressed a bit quicker in this one than in the trilogy because of it being a standalone, but it still had a natural arc of push and pull from both sides.
I loved all of the suspense and secrets. All of the reveals that came out in the end. And I really loved getting to “see” our beloved favorite characters from the Santiago trilogy (I see you over there, Joseph! <3).
The steam she has created with this universe, burst forth from her imagination, will incinerate us all. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

★★★★★ “An emotional, suspenseful, and incredibly sexy story with unforgettable characters and a breathtaking plot…” – Just Let Me Read
RICK
I rose from nothing to own this city.
A smooth-talking bastard with an empire of sin.
I have the connections to crush my enemies.
I have the looks to take what I want.
I was so used to winning that I never saw her sleight of hand.
Now I’m dancing with the devil, and she’s holding all the aces.
NINA
I jumped from my father’s penthouse to drown in this city.
Just another damaged princess hiding in plain sight.
They offered me freedom in exchange for his downfall.
Get close.
Uncover his secrets.
Destroy his empire from the inside out.
It seemed so easy…and when you’re as broken as I am, there’s nothing left to lose.
Except for my heart.
