Short, suspenseful and SEXY. Are you looking for a sweet story with a swoony hero? If so, this probably isn’t the book for you. If you’re looking for an erotic and mysterious read with a strong heroine and rough around the edges anti-hero, you’ve found your next read.

Zeth is a sexual deviant and has just bid a lot of money to have sex with a girl. There was no way in hell he was gonna let that other guy win her. He was more likely to beat her to death than screw her. And Sloane was too perfect for that.

I’ve read a couple of Ms. Hart’s works and as I enjoyed them I decided to start one of her series and as I expected I enjoyed it too! I like her writing.
