Recommendation
When I heard Charlotte Byrd was writing a new series I made sure book 1 was bumped to the top of my TBR list! Dante and Jaqueline are a match made in dirty, sexy heaven. I loved the atmosphere of club Redemption. It set the tone for their explosive chemistry and ridiculously hot attraction to one another. This storyline is littered with secrets, suspense, lust and twist after twist. I am loving every moment of their intense romance and cant wait to see what else Charlotte Byrd has in store for us in the next book!
Excerpts
As soon as I'd seen her, I knew that we had to be together, and when I touched her hand and our bodies ground against each other’s on the dance floor, I knew that I had to feel her naked underneath me.
Everyone watches. Everyone huddles around and waits for the next dress, next shirt to come off. But they don't hold my attention. My gaze returns to Jacqueline. I can feel her. I want her to feel me watching her, me wanting her.
Dante kisses me harder and harder. His hands pull me closer to him. He tugs on my hair just slightly.
My whole body explodes in anticipation.
Publisher synopsis
One debt. One secret. One night.
I have a secret and I'll do everything in my power to keep it that way.
I've been watching her for a long time.
I’ve been following her.
She’s lost a brother. I lost a best friend, but no one could ever know.
She's in pain, and so am I.
She deserves so much better than me. I am rotten to the core and if I take this any further, I will pull her into my darkness.
But I can’t stay away. I can’t stop.
What happens when she starts to uncover my lies? What happens if love isn’t enough?
From bestselling author Charlotte Byrd comes an intense romance about debts, lies and secrets and the extent to which people go for love.
I’m not supposed to know his name and he’s not supposed to know mine. But we break that rule. That’s not the only one.
He gives me chills and makes my body ache. He makes my pain go away. He’s just a distraction, but I can’t get enough of him.
What I don’t know yet is that he will help save my mother’s life.
What I don’t know yet is that I’ll owe him a debt.
What I don’t know yet is that he is a man of many secrets. Secrets dark enough to break us both.
Dark Intentions is the first novel in the Dark Intentions series. It is a dark romance/romantic suspense about debt, lies, wealth, crime and family bonds. There is no cheating.
