DECEPTION

by Aleatha Romig

Release Day May 3^rd

DECEPTION, book THREE of FIVE in Aleatha Romig's INFIDELITY series.

"Infidelity - it isn't what you think"

It all began in Del Mar, a chance meeting with a single rule--one week only.

Or did it?

Lennox ‘Nox’ Demetri and Alexandria ‘Charli’ Collins had every intention of following it but rules are made to be broken. In CUNNING they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but to follow them.

Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli’s hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that’s pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?

Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox’s and Charli's pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.

Can deals brokered in the past be negated by something as pure as love and as steamy as the attraction shared by Nox and Charli? Or was it all a deception—starting with that very first meeting?

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists and turns, the depth of this epic romantic suspense continues to reach new levels as past and present intertwine. The Infidelity series will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next.

EXCERPT:

Gripping the phone, I nodded, though I knew he couldn't see me.

"If I were there, I'd unwrap you, like a fucking Christmas present. Each piece of your clothing would find its way to the floor as I exposed your perfect, sexy-as-hell body. I'd run my fingers and tongue over every inch of that soft skin, tasting you and leaving goosebumps as a trail of my exploration."

My eyes closed as his words touched me.

"Princess, I'd punish your ass for your insolence in pushing to go back to the city tomorrow and for scaring the shit out of me by not answering your phone. Then after I turned it fire-engine red, I'd make it feel better, showing you how much I admire your strength and determination."

My neck strained as I sucked in a breath, lifting my behind from the mattress and imagined all he described.

"I'm not there," Nox continued, "but I'm going to take what I can get. Do you have a problem with that?"

"N-no." My voice sounded wonton, even to my own ears.

"Now, princess, tell me what you're wearing."

I hurriedly kicked back the covers, revealing my yoga pants and stocking-covered feet. "A big t-shirt, yoga pants, socks..."

"Stop."

I sucked my lower lip between my teeth, waiting for his next command.

"Tell me what I want you to be wearing."

"Nox?"

"Is the bedroom door locked?" he asked.

"I-I don't remember."

"Lock the door, Charli."

Without thinking, my feet, covered with fuzzy socks, landed on the soft rug that surrounded the big bed. My socks slid as I skated across the wood floor, no longer worried about ghosts or Demetri secrets.

My thoughts were now consumed with everything Nox.

I tested the knob. As I did, it clicked and the small button within the knob popped out. I pushed the button back in and verbally confirmed my mission. "The door's locked."

"Are the blinds shut?"

I turned toward the windows. Was it still raining? I couldn't hear anything but the way Nox's voice reverberated through the phone, sending shockwaves throughout my body, my blood coursing to keep up. "They're shut."

"Keep the lights on."

My hand lingered over the switch. Would he know if I disobeyed?

"Tell me they're on."

With a sigh, I did as he said and moved my hand away from the switch. "They're still on."

"Now, put me on speaker phone. I want you to fix the attire problem we mentioned earlier."

My lower lip disappeared as I hit the speaker button and laid my phone on the bed.

"Charli, you need to respond to me. I can only hear you."

"Yes, Nox."

My Review

OMG! The evil that men do!

No spoilers here, but have to tell you this story is getting better and better. Alton will stop at nothing to force Alex to marry Bryce. Things are totally complicated now that Alton is desperate.

In the meantime, Alex and Nox are closer than ever. Secrets are shared. They are both trying to keep their promises to each other. Their love is growing by leaps and bounds even in the face of the dangers that surround them.

This is a masterful story. Thrilling, gripping, and full of the suspense and passion we have grown to love from this author. You cannot go wrong with this series. My only regret? The next book does not come out until September!!!

ALSO IN THIS SERIES:

BETRAYAL

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

CUNNING

"He owns you. Whatever he tells you to do you do".

"New rules...my rules."

Alex "Charli" Collins found pleasure with Nox like she'd never known. That was before she knew his last name. Now that Infidelity is involved and the rules have changed, what will result when real life and fantasy collide?
