Please
note: this is not dark romance.
I am not a good man.
I have lied and cheated and stolen. I've decided between life or death, like it was my due. None of it matters, not anymore. These are not my sins.
I see her raise her hands, the dark metal she's clutching reflecting the moonlight. Her finger trembles as she cocks the gun pointed at me. Her eyes are cold, determined, but I know.
I know her.
My name is Devon Andre and I confess my sin. I am not a good man because this is the woman I love.
She pulls the trigger.
* Standalone contemporary romance.
* Mature reader advised due to sexual content and strong language.

When I saw this cover and blurb I knew I HAD to have this book...and it
did not disappoint. I simply LOVED this wonderfully twisted story.
Definitely not your typical love story.
Leighton Moore finds her self held hostage by a rival family and the boy she's drawn to against her better judgment. With no possibility of escape in front of her, she's torn between loving and hating him.
Devon Andre sees no option but to take Leighton hostage when she sees him speaking to someone close to her family, seemingly appearing to be conspiring in the shadows. His one decision both saves her life and puts her in danger. He's protective of her, attracted to her and yet wants to ring her neck when she spouts off at the mouth.
Their chemistry is hot...I wanted them together so bad in this really strange situation. Devon keeps her locked away, essentially safe from the rest of his family. He tries so hard to not give in to his feelings for her but in the end neither can deny the pull.
Meanwhile the twists and turns of the story that pull them together also break them apart. There are so many lies, half-truths, and truths come to light...no one is as they seem...I just couldn't get to the end fast enough to figure it all out. There is a shocking turn to things that knocked me right up out my seat and had me clutching my chest in a OMG-I-CAN'T-BELIEVE-THAT-JUST-HAPPENED moment.
I loved every minute of this book. The characters, their stories, the back story, all the twists and turns. I'm almost sad it's a standalone. I'd love more!

“Don’t think, Devon,” I say, standing up
and pulling it over my head, dropping it aside. I walk backwards to my bed and
undo the clasp of my bra, letting it dangle on my finger and then fall to the
ground. I take my sweatpants off, leaving me in nothing but my panties. When he
doesn’t say anything, doesn’t tell me to stop, I sit down on the bed and watch
him.
The
heat in Devon’s gaze, the intensity in his expression makes me feel like I’m
the sexiest girl in the world. He stands up slowly, and walks over to me, his
eyes still connected with mine. He gets down on his knees, so his face is
almost level with mine. I watch as he takes his fill of me, a soft curse
escaping his lips as his gaze touches my breasts.
“I
don’t want you,” he says hoarsely, but there’s no fight left in his voice. My
breathing hitches as I wait for him to finally touch me.
I
don’t dare speak. Putting my palm on his cheek, I decide to make the first move
since he won’t. Bringing his face closer to my body, I gasp when his tongue
finally peeps out and slowly traces over one nipple, and I know that he’s
decided to give in. He pulls my nipple into his mouth, sucking gently, and then
running his teeth over it. I squirm under his touch, wanting more.
His
mouth releases its torturous hold on my breast and trails wet kisses up my
chest, my shoulder and my neck. By the time he reaches my mouth, I can feel how
damp my panties are, and my thighs are trembling. He swipes his tongue across
my lips, begging entrance. He kisses me hungrily, delving into my mouth,
tasting me. He pushes me back onto the bed with the force of his body, grinding
his hips into mine. I feel his erection pressing into me, and it gets me even
more excited. Grasping my wrists in his hand, Devon lifts my hands above my
head and presses them into the mattress. His other hand traces from my temple,
over my cheek and jawline, and finally rests on my neck. Pulling his mouth
away, he rests his forehead against mine, his breathing as heavy as my own.
“I
don’t fucking want you,” he says desperately.
“Devon,”
I gasp out when he starts slowly moving against me, our clothes the only
barrier between us. He instantly jumps away from me, his expression closing
off. He throws a disgusted glance my way as he stands up and takes two steps
back, leaving me bare and vulnerable.
Then
he turns his back on me and leaves.
Sienna Lane and Autumn Karr are two friends with a
joint love of reading, writing, candy, and Disney heroes (and Disney songs, of
course.)
When they aren’t scheming against fictional
characters, or talking about their favourite books, you can find them ogling
tattooed models and trying to figure out how to get them to do a cover shoot
for their next book.
Together they wrote VENDETTA, releasing this December, and hopefully
many more books to come.They love to hear from readers, so don't hesitate to
