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.
"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to
yourself?"

and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha
Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will

When I stepped past the woman and exited the glass doors, my breathing hitched.
I hadn't embellished, not really. With the orange glow of the setting sun sending prisms dancing off the waves below, the man casually leaning against the rail was everything I'd imagined and more. Despite the ocean breeze, his casual stance, the way one hand lingered in the pocket of his pants while the other held tightly to a tall fluted glass of light colored liquid, filled me with warmth.
I was glad that Chelsea had talked me into wearing a dress and that I'd insisted on wearing panties. As he stood to walk toward me, the light gray suit coat he wore moved effortlessly accentuating his shoulders and forming a V to his trim waist. If I'd thought he was handsome in his swim trunks, he was even better in a silk suit. The white shirt he wore was unbuttoned at the neck and his strong jaw was covered with just a hint of stubble. Whoever this man was, he wore the combination of casual and class with ease.
I remained still as his grin grew and he scanned me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Just like earlier at the pool, the gaze of his light blue eyes burned my skin, sending a rush of heat and leaving goose bumps in its wake. I found myself lost in the paleness of his eyes, like pools of liquid, I imagined drowning in their depths, and then, they settled on mine.
"Welcome, Charli, with an I. I'm very glad you accepted my invitation." Flutters like butterfly wings filled my tummy as I searched the horizon for clouds of an impending storm. There were none. It was him. His voice did roll like the low rumble of thunder.
"Would you like to have a seat?" he asked, reaching for my elbow and leading me toward the table.
I almost jumped at the touch of his warm skin against mine. Electricity like I'd never felt surged through my veins setting off detonations at each synapse. My eyes snapped to his, and for just a moment, I believed he felt the same thing, but just as quickly, his expression found its casual confident demeanor.
"Yes," I said, trying also to ignore the chemistry that threatened to knock me off my feet. "Thank you. You didn't need to go to all this work."
He laughed. "It wasn't me."
