Synopsis 

She’s too young. Too reckless. And now she’s my wife.


Vanessa Baker is a temptation with a body made for seduction and secrets swirling in her violet eyes.

There’s no denying that she’s a stunning woman, but she’s a wild card.

Irresistible, unpredictable, and unexpected.

Exactly the kind of trouble I’ve vowed to stay away from.

So, imagine my shock when I wake up in the Bahamas with a ring on my finger and Vanessa in my bed—with no memory of how either got there.

She swears she had no choice. That marrying me was the only way to save herself from a dangerous deal she’d never agreed to.

And now I’m torn between protecting her and resenting her … doing the right thing and wishing I’d never met her.

I don’t trust easily. Not with my heart. Not with my son. And I definitely don’t trust her.

But I bring her home anyway—because her life is at risk. And even though she doesn’t deserve my protection, she has it.

Every day she’s here, charming my son, slipping past my walls, she reminds me of what love is supposed to feel like.

So, what happens when she doesn’t need me anymore … and I still want her anyway?

Review 

I received Secret Seduction in return for an honest review from the author. 


Lorenzo heads off for a wedding and little did he know that he would end up being the one coming home married. He wakes up to find that he got married and that he needs to save Vanessa from her family who's determined to use her for financial gains. Vanessa has goals and dreams to be a fashion designer till she finds out her step father is planning to sell her. So she takes a risk finding help in an unlikely place. Little did she know that she would end up finding more than she bargained for. 


This is Lorenzo's and Vanessa's story and I just loved them. I hate to admit it but they are my favorite couple in the series. Vanessa is just adorable and Lorenzo is swoon-worthy in every way. I ended up devouring this one in just a few hours hooked from the start till the very last page. This book features our prior couples and I loved having a little time with them again. 


I have loved all the books in the series each one is beautifully written with characters to fall in love with an story to steal a little piece of my heart. I'm a huge fan of the authors writing style every book is a perfect balance of romance and just the right balance of spice. This one had me crying happy tears and I'm just so much in love. This whole series has been amazing and I can't get enough of it. Highly recommend if you are a fan of darker romance that will steal your heart.
