There's more to her than the eye can see...
Angelina St. Clair has the reputation of an angel, but behind closed doors, an angel she is not. She takes her pick of the finest gentlemen of the ton, before casting them aside at the end of the night, leaving a trail of injured pride and jealous lovers.
Is there someone he cares about more than himself?
Arthur Calthorpe, Earl of Pembroke, the ton's most infamously notorious rake, devilishly handsome and wickedly good at charming women into his arms. Despite his reputation, meddling mamas can't help but push their daughters into his path, just for the momentary fame in the gossip columns.
Secretly, the pair have been lovers since their late teens, but love does not come into it. No strings attached. Pembroke is free to be society's most beloved rake, and Angelina the heiress who flirts with every man she meets. Despite everything, they always find their way back into each other's arms, so what happens when something running deeper than carnal satisfaction becomes involved? Angelina doesn't care for anyone, as she would be the first to proclaim, and Pembroke certainly has never let him emotions get involved, so why is it that he begins to feel something horribly akin to jealousy when he stumbles on her with one of her lovers?

Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants.

Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.Lengkap
