Kingdom Come by Aleatha Romig


Steam: Steam Level 4

“With heart-pounding twists and sensual chemistry, this stand-alone is my favorite Aleatha Romig book yet!” ~ Pam Godwin, NY Times, WSJ, and USA Today bestselling author

They say the price of freedom is learning that you have nothing left to lose.

There was a time when I had it all. Money. Power. Love. And in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Along the road to my new life, I have a chance meeting with Cecilia Abernathy. Born to greatness, this American princess is out of my league. That doesn’t mean I don’t see her for the woman she is behind the headlines. In a rare glimpse I see not only her outward beauty but her inner determination. I’m moved by her in ways I don’t allow myself to ponder.

Time passes and I’m moving forward, persevering beyond my loss, and making a new name for myself. And then I’m given an assignment.

One job.
One quest.

If I succeed, my kingdom will be at hand.
If I fail, there will be no more chances.

Men like me aren’t saviors, and that isn’t my assignment. My mission is to find the daughter of one of the most powerful men in New York, in the country, and maybe the world. Find her and deliver her to her family’s rival.

Cecilia Abernathy has been kidnapped. All I have to do is exchange her current hell for another. And then I can walk away and claim my reward.

Has my taste of freedom made me willing to sell my soul for a kingdom?

Find out the answer in KINGDOM COME, a dangerous forced-proximity stand-alone romance by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

“A Combustible mix of romance, mystery, suspense, and the unpredictable twists and turns that Aleatha Romig is known for. I was hopelessly hooked from the first page.” ~ Cynema, 5 star Bookbub review

Fight Dirty With Me (The Dirty Little Secrets Series Book 2) by Imogen Keeper


Steam: Steam Level 5

From award-winning bestselling author, Imogen Keeper, comes a sexy paging-turner romance with twists and turns and lots of dirty talking.

It begins in a snowstorm with a car crash, a trek across the tundra, a single cabin with a man inside who rides the spectrum between rugged and hotter than hell.

He’s got a killer body, a penchant for monosyllabic grunting, and a wicked idea.
Here we are, two strangers in a tiny cabin.

We have a choice.

We can spend our time in awkward silence, part ways, and promptly forget one another.
Or, I can strip off my wet clothes, indulge in my every darkest desire. We can go to our death beds with the burning memory of the wild blizzard we spent shacked-up in the arms of a stranger under the glow of the Northern Lights.

There’s just one rule: no questions.

Tough choice, huh?

So I follow his rules. I ask no questions, and I say my goodbyes forever in a gray airport with a silent tear.

The last thing I expect is for him to break his own rule, this stranger without a name and a million lingering secrets.

This time, it’s he who rocks up on my stateside doorstep. This time, it’s real life. Same rules. No questions. But this time, it won’t end with a snowflake and a tear, it will end in a storm of explosive secrets, bullets and dredged-up histories.

Last time all he wanted was my body, now he wants my soul.

If you love stories with bada*s billionaires, secrets and lies, mystery, humor and explosive heat, this is the story for you. HEA guaranteed, full-length standalone, no fades to black, nothing but fun.

This book is part of a series but it does not have to be read in order, but for those who prefer to, the reading list is below.
