I was bored and lonely, being left by myself on movie sets and ignored by my asshole fiancé of a film director.

The guy on the internet seemed harmless. An obsessive fan who LIKED all of my posts and wrote me all kinds of dirty messages along with them. So I thought I’d message back one day to kill some time by being a little filthy with him. Just for fun, I swear.

I want to feel every second of it.

THE THRILL OF IT is book one of a two-book series.

From Bestselling author Sadie Black comes the entire Devoted serial in one boxset.

Devoted Part One:

Brianna Hendricks has lived a wild life full of fast men and fun nights. That is, until her best friend Kendra Cole settled down and moved on from her job at the diner. Now Brianna is feeling left behind. In a dead end job, with no education, and nearing thirty, her options seem to be narrowing by the day.

Nearly two years after they met at the Zervion MADD Art Auction, billionaire Bradley Sheppard waltzes back into Brianna’s life…literally. After asking her to dance, a whirlwind romance begins. However, Brianna wants more than a few nights of heat and passion. She wants stability. She wants a promising future. She wants Bradley.

But, can Mr. Sheppard commit to Brianna as he’s promised? Or will his dual life in another city destroy the only relationship that Brianna has ever had?

Devoted Part Two:

Brianna is fed up. Her dreams of a perfect life are crumbling around her. She's tired of his last minute cancellations, tired of him disappearing without explanation, and tired of his secrets. It's time she learns the truth about Bradley Sheppard’s hidden life of dealing with a dangerously unstable woman and her vulnerable little girl.

How will Brianna handle it when the curtain is pulled back? Will she be able to come to terms with Bradley's chaotic dual life and move forward with him? Or will she turn away and continue to hide her own intimate secret from him… that she's pregnant with his child.

Devoted Part Three:

At six-months pregnant, Brianna has been brutally attacked and left for dead in a pool of her own blood. When she's rushed to the hospital it becomes clear that Brianna is going to be just fine, the only question is: will her baby survive?

This is the conclusion of the Devoted serial.

This sizzling box set for the Vegas Series starts off where we meet up with hardworking, hard-assed Detective Aurora Morelli. Attempting to arrest a rapist who attacks her colleague then continually thwarts her attempts to bring him to justice—to a horrific nightmare where her new baby is kidnapped—this scrappy detective does everything in her power to control these events. Kai Lawson, a partner she doesn’t want, fights against and in the end accepts (in her job and in her bed) is the hero in these first few stories. The bald-headed, purse-carrying hotshot knows just how to pull her crank and the outcome is entertaining. Their blockbuster story will get you totally invested in this series.
In the last three books, along comes Lisa Jordan, a kick-ass kinda gal who loves wearing the shield as a Vegas detective and enjoys the more strenuous aspects of her job. She steps in for a while as Aurora’s partner while Kai is MIA. Her story begins here and ends the series as she fights her attraction for wealthy casino owner, Jeff Waters. After one wild night, the charismatic charmer digs his way into her heart and that of the three-year-old nephew in her care. The fact that he leaves her speechless, literally, detracts from his appeal for Lisa since as a self-professed chatterbox, it’s the first time ever. On the other hand, everything else about the man is fascinating. She can no more fight her memories than stop herself from rescuing him from two killers holding him hostage in revenge for the mistakes of his father.

Dixie Burns has done it again with “What If It’s True?”. Fans of her first novel, “Spit of A Minute”, will recognize the spot-on dialects, a strong sense of place, and colorful characters that make Mrs. Burns a budding master of Southern fiction. Clarissa Clooney, the mysterious divorcee from out-of-town, and Trig Foley, the local police chief, are imperfect heroes drawn together by their desire to help a group of small town girls before it’s too late. Equal parts love story and page-turning thriller, this Southern novel has more twists and turns than a backcountry road. But the truth is, Cedar Hill’s tale of romantic suspense, perversion, and corruption could take place in any small town.
