Anthony Morgan is the last man I should ever work for.
Too bad I don’t have a choice.
It started with an email from Jennifer Gonzales.
It ended with me walking into a boardroom face-to-face with the man who wants to protect her.
The same man who looks at me like I’m a threat to everything he built.
And maybe I am.
He’s cold. Controlled.
Italian billionaire in an Armani suit, hiding bruises behind bank accounts.
He thinks I’m still loyal to my former best friend—the woman who broke his brother’s heart and stole something she should’ve never touched.
But I’m not here for Belle.
I’m here to do a job.
Security.
Protection.
No distractions.
Except Anthony Morgan is a distraction.
His eyes strip me bare.
His voice is a seduction I never saw coming.
And every time we fight, it feels like foreplay.
Getting too close to him is a mistake.
Falling for him?
Dangerous.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from war zones and heartbreak…
It’s that the most forbidden fire burns the hottest.
And Anthony Morgan is pure flame.
So that’s the blurb. The heroine is Emily Fletcher. You met her in Secret Bet as Belle’s best friend who called Peter Mr Monopoly.
And honestly this book has haunted me for years. I was at a cross roads. What I love about romance novels is that it’s always happily ever after and we know the couple lasts.
But even when writing Secret Bet, it felt like I was betraying what I loved about the very genre. I started the series of the Morgans with Mitch Morgan’s funeral. John wanted to rage against his father. Victoria was ‘dead.’ Peter was dead on the inside as he was raised to be the heir.
And while John and Victoria and the others were happily ever after Peter started the series with a girlfriend. They broke up and in Secret Bet he moved on.
And he’s been loyal for all the books except when his wife ‘died.’
So if you want to know what happens next with them, this book reveals ALOT.
But the focus on this story is Anthony and Emily.
Anthony smells secrets out. I called him my scorpio Morgan because he’s been hunting for the truth in everything.
Then there is Emily. She’s former military and working as a body guard.
Jennifer hires Emily knowing she was Belle’s best friend.
And Anthony demands absolute loyalty. What’s happening in his brother’s mess of a world to him must be authentic and truth must be out there.
It’s why I kept putting this book off to be honest.
I knew if I wrote it I’d change everything. And while I have a horrible draft right now of Aurelia’s next book (and the start of a new series), and the prequel to finish editing to this series, before I get to how everything unfolds but honestly this is a pivotal chapter in the ongoing saga. (And yes I always called this series my soap opera because Stefano Dimera would be the model for Mitch and he affected all his children in different ways. I hope you love Emily and Anthony’s story. It took alot from me but it needed to catapult the series to how I saw the ending.
