Releasing Date: April 14
Four months ago, Johnny Malone showed up at my office, flipping a playing card between his fingers like I was wasting his time.
Me. The one with the Ph.D.
The one a self-confessed arsonist came to for help in controlling his “urges.”
The one he visits every week and undresses with his eyes.
Lethal dark eyes that drown me in fiery lust and constant lies.
But the deeper I sink the more those ethical lines blur, and his charm overshadows his inner demons.
Ones with no family, no friends, and no past.
Just a standing Tuesday appointment.
He’s hiding from something.
Or someone…
And I intend to find out.
I’ve always had strict rules about men:
No criminals.
In one afternoon, I broke all three.
They say you should never play with fire…
Now I know why.
*Torched Spades is book 1 in the Marchesi Empire Duet. The conclusion, Tortured Hearts, releases May 5th.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Johnny Malone is a man who is supposed to be keeping his head down and his nose clean. But when he has this encounter with Becca Brennan that puts everything that he is trying to do in dangers. Becca is the daughter of a very corrupt man and her past is about to come back with a vengeance to to haunt her. However Johnny is really willing to risk it all to to be Becca to his will. Even if he has to burn the entire world as she knows it around her. I know that doesn’t make much sense to y’all but I’m so afraid to tell you very much about this story for fear of giving a spoiler away. I picked this book up and I didn’t lay it back down until I was done and loved every single second of this book. I loved the banter between Johnny and Becca. It was pure fire and they have some moment that will just melt you. I can not wait to get my hands on the second book!!! I need to know what is going to happen like yesterday!!
