This sexy, emotionally charged romance continues the story of Damien Stark, the powerful multimillionaire who’s never had to take “no” for an answer, and Nikki Fairchild, the Southern belle who only says “yes” on her own terms.
Our desire runs deep. But our secrets cut close. Beautiful, strong, and commanding, Damien Stark fills a void in me that no other man can touch. His fierce cravings push me beyond the brink of bliss—and unleash a wild passion that utterly consumes us both.
Yet beneath his need for dominance, he carries the wounds of a painful past. Haunted by a legacy of dark secrets and broken trust, he seeks release in our shared ecstasy, the heat between us burning stronger each day.
Our attraction is undeniable, our obsession inevitable. Yet not even Damien can run from his ghosts, or shield us from the dangers yet to come.

The billionaire lifestyle most definitely appeals to me & I am sure it is because it is so far away from my actual lifestyle.
I think it might be fun, but just as much stress although on a different level.
Of course. It would be nice to not have to worry about money. But the downfall is people using you for it.
I would love not worrying about money and always having a clean house without cleaning it myself but I hate being the center of attention so I would probably end up being a recluse so probably not.
I don’t think I would care for the billionaire lifestyle. It would be to much traveling and lots of parties. I would just like to have enough money to pay off my mortage, and I would be happy. Thanks for having the giveaway.
It would be nice not to have to worry about money and have a nice house and be able to get things you wanted, so yes it would.
Thanks for the chance to win!
yes, you don’t have to worry about money
It appeals to me somewhat, I would love to be able not to worry about money anymore. But, at the same time having all that money comes with its own set of problems. I feel as though I would turn into those bad lottery winner stories they run on tv.
The billionaire lifestyle definitely appeals to me. I’d like to be able to travel on a private jet, have someone drive me around, and to be able to vacation anywhere I wanted.
The appealing thing for me would be the ability to travel, shop, and decide where to live without being limited by funds. So, that would be a lot less stressful.
The Billionaire lifestyle appeals to me in some ways. I believe it is not as glamourous in real life as it is in books. There is probably no privacy, but to not have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck would be nice.
I have lived poor for so long that I would love to live a littler more luxuriously. It would be nice to know that the money is there when you need it or just want it.

Sure! The travel and luxuries of course seem nice, although it would be tiring after a while and the simple things might get lost.
The simple answer is “Yes, I could adapt very well to the Billionaire lifestyle.” I compare it to conversations I have with my husband on what we would do if we won the lottery: Give several thousands of dollars to each of our six children; say goodbye to HMO’s and pay for better medical care; get a new, better-mileage car; sell our house in the burbs and live in an apartment downtown that would allow our Yorkie to live with us; and do some traveling before we’re too old to travel. The list goes on and on… 🙂 Your trilogy sounds a little like 50 Shades of Grey…which fascinated me..could not put it down until it was the last page of the third book. jdh2690@gmail.com
I think it has some appeal to everyone. I can’t say I wouldn’t like it but I don’t need a lot of money to be happy. I just want enough money to live comfortably and to be able to pay my bills and do things I want to do. I think alot of money changes people. I dont want to be like. Thanks for the giveaway.

Cause it would be nice to do fun stuff. & they are all good looking. lol
I would love to travel first class. I would build a house for me with guest houses for my brother, sister and parents. It would have several pools. I would also buy my parents a cabin in Minnesota that they could go to during the hot Texas summers.
It appeals to me and I think it’s the travel that is most appealing. It would be wonderful to travel all over the world, seeing sights that I have only seen pictures of before.
Some of the billionaire lifestyle does and other points doesn’t. But I sure do love reading the erotica stories with alpha males that do! LOL Thank you for the giveaway.
Would love to travel nd be able to have my kids want for nothing.
Yes, the billionare lifestyle appeals to me in a few ways. One, I can by all the shoes and purses I want. Two, I can donate a lot of money to charities that mean a lot to me. Three, I can take care of my family and not have to worry about their future while I am here. I am not into all the partying, booze, and drugs a lot of them might be into, but an almost worry-free vacation would be nice, since I have hardly been on any in my lifetime.
The billionaire lifestyle appeals to me in some ways. For example, I love to travel and I wouldn’t mind being sble to do it more luxuriously. However, I know that having money can make it difficult to find trust worthy companions; including family members. Everything has its drawbacks.
Does the billionaire lifestyle appeal to me? To some extent. I would dearly LOVE to travel wherever and whenever I wanted to, and I would enjoy being able to fly anywhere I wanted to. But I couldn’t see myself going to fancy parties, and I would hate it if I were “recognizable”.
