BLURB

A crime leader has fallen for the wrong woman. She’s his hostage in a heist, and if he leaves any witnesses, his colleagues will kill them both.

A hostage isn’t supposed to develop feelings for her captor—a man who’s the antithesis of everything I stand for. And my captor isn’t supposed to see me in a way no one else ever has, let alone want to protect me from the other men who plan to end my life…

Surrendering to our unexpected feelings could spell death for us both. Especially when Easton is given a direct order: Kill me, or they’ll kill him and his brother.

Soon, our lives, along with the lives of everyone we love, are in danger. And time is running out…

You’ll love this dangerous romance (standalone with no cliffhanger, contains darker themes with mature content—reader discretion is advised) because the page-turner involving dark secrets, kidnapping, and murder will keep you glued to the pages with heart-pounding suspense and blow-your mind twists…

Get it now.

TRAILER



EXCERPT

I kicked my foot toward him, hoping to slam the heel of my foot into his nose. But he blocked that one, too. I tried to yank away from his grip, but doing so rocked the chair and tilted one side of it into the air. Before I could correct the center of gravity, the chair tipped over, sending me into a free fall, my nose on a collision course with the wooden planks.
But he grabbed me before I hit—one arm around my stomach, his other hand gripping my upper arm.
He pulled me into a standing position as if I weighed nothing and set me back on my feet.
“Careful,” he said, a blend of irritation and enjoyment seeping from his tone. “I’d hate to see you hurt that beautiful face of yours.”
“Because you prefer to do it yourself?”
I heard him huff a laugh-breath.
Why isn’t he letting go of me?
He stood there, his hands on my body, doing what? Staring at me? Smelling like burnt sugar.
Strange. I’d have expected him to smell like chemically rotting feet, not delicious and inviting.
“So, this is what you do?” I said, heat pooling beneath my cheeks. “Break into people’s homes and then murder them if they happen to come inside?”
No answer.
“What an exemplary member of society we have here,” I snarled.
“Let me give you some advice.” His tone was low and even.
“This ought to be good. Advice from a criminal. I’m waiting with bated breath.”
He tightened his grip around my waist until my chest pushed into his. “You’re bound and blindfolded and at my mercy. Provoking the very person who holds your life in his hands is unwise.”

Series Title: Sin City Billionaires
Author: Aria Devan
Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance
Trope: Serialized Office Romance

From USA Today Bestselling authors Jessica Ames and Brooke Summers comes this addictive steamy serialized office romance saga.





A one-night stand—that was all it was meant to be.

When I land my dream job as PA to one of the biggest hotel owners in Las Vegas the celebration leads me into bed with a stranger. Sneaking out the morning after a mindblowing evening isn’t my greatest moment, but I don’t want the awkward small talk.

Imagine my surprise when I turn up at work for my first day and my one-night stand is none other than my boss and CEO of the hotel chain I’m working for.

My one-night stand is my billionaire boss and he wants me.







Harlan Savage holds my future in his hands. I worked hard to get this job.

I've always wanted to be a personal assistant and now it seems as if all that effort is about to unravel.

Maintaining a professional front is getting hard and harder, especially as his demands increase. I should keep my distance, but Harlan isn't a man who likes to be dismissed.

He has set his sights on me and I can't resist his charms.

It's only a matter of time before the whole office knows I'm sleeping with my billionaire boss.






Two lines on a pregnancy test is all it takes to change my life.

Harlan and I are in a good place, but a baby was never part of the equation.

He hasn’t even said those three little words every woman wants to hear, I love you, and now we’re having a baby because I’m pregnant by my billionaire boss.







Getting pregnant was an accident, but I never expected Harlan to propose to me.

He thinks it’s a logical step for us to get married. I think he’s lost his mind.

I love the man, but I’m not sure he feels the same or if he wants me because I’m carrying his child.

I have to make a decision as to whether or not I want to be married to my billionaire boss.
