Powerfully passionate, breathtakingly sexy and completely addictive. This is no ordinary billionaire romance. Read the first few chapters of my debut novel here! Available on Amazon and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Blurb: A chance meeting turned my world inside out. Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me. My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew. I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist. The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we'd share. Or need. The suffering inside me reflects his - a pain I know he feels, but can't bring himself to reveal. I have no idea his love can heal me - that mine can heal him... ...if only I can let down my guard for him and trust. Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be. Intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to the sexual content and explicit language used throughout.
