One night of shadows. One night of bliss. One night of when it all falls apart.

Katherine Regina Vandercamp has everything. Wealth. Beauty. Social standing. She’s the heiress to the Vandercamp fortune and engaged to the man of her dreams. One night it all shatters…

Finding her fiancé with another woman, she is distraught and makes a reckless decision to go with a friend to a sex club. Needing total anonymity, she has sex with a stranger in a room of total darkness, a sensuous cocoon of silky shadows. She has no idea who this man is or what he looks like. But it is in the shadows she finds solace. In the shadows she finds bliss.

She can’t forget this stranger’s touch, his taste, his scent. He infiltrates her dreams and holds her thoughts and body captive. But has she made a false assumption about her fiancé? Was he truly unfaithful? She regrets her hasty actions and is tormented by guilt. She is determined to marry the man she loves and forget her stranger.

Sinister events unfolded at the sex club. There was a gruesome murder and her stranger has been charged with the crime. Katie knows he’s innocent because she was with him at the time of the murder. She is more shocked to find that he’s not a stranger after all. What will she do? Will she reveal her horrible secret? Will she besmirch the Vandercamp name? Will she risk losing the man who has her heart to save the man who’s touched her soul?

Her life is in turmoil. All because of that one night.

A night that was wrapped in shadows…

He was drawing me in and I was powerless to stop it.

It seems like Lisa Eugene has herself a winning formula with her books. She takes a super quirky heroine, some verra sexy steam, throws in some intriguing suspense and mystery and VOILA! You have yourself a book that you’ll enjoy from beginning to end.

One night of shadows. One night of bliss. One night it all fell apart.

Katherine is a woman that seemingly has it all. The heiress to the Vandercamp fortune, she has the social standing, the wealth, the doting fiance, and loving parents. Well…2 out of 4 ain’t bad. Since she just found her fiance half naked in their apartment with his ex and her mother is pretty much a cold bitch.

After running out after finding her fiance with his ex that was wearing his shirt…and only his shirt, she’s heartbroken. She needs to take her mind off of it. Off her her pain. Off of her mostly unfulfilled desires. So what’s the best way of doing this? Convincing her best friend into getting her into one of the most exclusive sex clubs in town, of course.

In the safety of dark shadows and extremely talented but mysterious male hands, Katherine finds the kind of passion she’s never even dreamed about.

Relax, beautiful,” he whispered. Soft lips pressed against my thigh, planting tender kisses. “I’ll give you what you need.”
You heard the man! My vagina sighed.

Did I happen to mention Katherine’s adorably quirky habit of talking to her vagina?

I don’t think anyone but Lisa Eugene could pull something like this off. In Steal My Heart she gave us an adorable germaphobe nurse. In Wrapped in Shadows we get Katherine’s vagina conversations. I have to admit that I found myself giggling like an idiot whenever I’d read her internal monologue. It was cute and funny.

His body was gorgeous and my vagina instantly responded. Don’t even think about it!’ I scolded. He looked intense. I had a feeling this man was someone I’d have to work my way up to, like spicy food, or nipple clamps. He was not for newbies.

Well…

That should help right?

I will not tell you the name of the hero, and I don’t recommend reading many reviews before diving into this book. Half the fun is the mystery of who it is and finding out. But here I go, digressing again.

The rules of the evening were simple; anonymity. Total and complete. After all, if anyone were to find that the socialite running one of the most successful charities went to a sex club, her reputation would be ruined. It was only supposed to be dark, shadows, and intense orgasms…until murder was thrown into the mix.

The one thing that I really liked about this book was the unpredictability of it. You’re lead to believe one thing, be so sure of it, only to be thrown for a loop. Lisa Eugene leads you up to the most obvious conclusion thinking you know what’s going on and who’s behind it, only to rip the rug out right from under you. I loved that added element of the suspense and mystery.

Did I also mention the absolutely delicious mystery hero?

But I’m still not giving you his name.

But I will tell you that he has some moves.

He flexed his hips and his stiff cock slid against my abdomen, hot and pulsing.
Mine! Mine! My greedy vagina chanted. Ours, I corrected again. And if you start referring to his dick as ‘precious’, we are no longer related.

But I digress yet again. This was an entertaining read, though at times Katherine did some things that seriously had me shaking my head and then wanting to shake some sense into her.

As far as steam goes? You’ll get that and then some.

So why not 5 stars? I felt that there was something at the end with the revelation of the bad guy that was a little glossed over. I really thought that the motivation behind the actions of someone involved was pretty detrimental to explain, yet it was brushed aside. Considering WHO that person was, I really needed the explanation or their motivation behind their action. It almost seemed to rush through the ending after that big revelation climax.

But that aside and a few times where I wanted to slap Katherine, this was a solid 4 star read that I’d gladly recommend for any readers that like their suspense with a whole lot of steam.

The final installment of the Breach Trilogy!

Things are finally looking up for Nathan and Lila. Though separated at work, their life together is just beginning.

They’re working hard to lock up Lila’s past, when Nathan’s comes knocking at the door with a gift—a warning that happiness can, and will, be taken away.

Is running away the only option to stay alive? Can they ever find the peace they deserve?

The battle for survival has begun

The countdown was on—three days. We still needed to finish up the workweek before boarding a plane, and my insides felt like a ticking time bomb.

That was probably why Drew, Caroline, Nathan, and I all went out to lunch—to relax. We’d decided on a sandwich shop not far from the office, specializing in grilled subs and fresh-cut fries. Drew drove Caroline and me, while Nathan was a few minutes behind due to a meeting with a client.

After ordering for Nathan and myself, I searched for a table for the four of us. The restaurant was pretty empty, being that it was mid-week, so there were lots of options. I found one and waited for the others to join me.

“So, are you changing your name, hyphenating, or keeping Palmer?” Drew asked as he took the seat across from me. He’d learned fast that the seat beside me was reserved for Nathan.

I shook my head like mad. “Hell, no… Am I keeping Palmer?” I scoffed. It wasn’t hard to imagine where the anger stormed from for a name that’d been mine for thirty years. “As soon as we get back, Palmer is gone. I don’t want to be associated with that man anymore.” I smiled at him, pushing all the negativity away.

Drew nodded. “I figured. Can’t call you DAP anymore. Maybe I’ll just start DAT. Who DAT?”

I rolled my eyes and let out a small snicker. “That is the stupidest name. You haven’t called me that in years, therefore it and all incarnations are void.”

“I can always bring it back.”

“No. Its statute of limitations is eighty years.”

“I’d like to appeal.”

“Appeal denied.” I clasped my hands together and cocked my head at him.

“Why?”

“You don’t have the appropriate paperwork.”

“What the hell is going on over here? Lawyer porn?” Caroline asked as she sat next to Drew.

“We were discussing DAP.”

Caroline paused, then shook her head. “That was the stupidest nickname.”

“Oh, come on, it was different.” The muscles in his forearm flexed, and he grinned.

“It made it sound like you were calling her some cleaning agent. ‘DAP will get out all your stains!’”

“Lila works just fine,” I said and took a bite of my sandwich.

“I’ve got some names for her, but they aren’t for polite company.” Nathan’s arm wrapped around me as he sat down and pulled me close for a kiss.

I looked up at him. “What about Honeybear?”

“Honeybear?” Caroline and Drew asked in unison.

I could swear Nathan’s cheeks pinked up. “Yeah, you’re my Honeybear. Public or private, but I’d prefer private. I’ve got an image to keep up, after all.”

“That’s worse than DAP.” Drew had a look of disgust on his face.

“I think it’s cute. Very different and shows a different side of Nate.” Caroline smiled across the table at us.

“Thank you, Caroline.” Nathan smiled back at her, then took a bite of his sandwich, moaning as he chewed.

I let out a giggle. “Hungry?”

“Fuck, yes. I haven’t eaten all day. Someone wanted to exercise this morning, and I missed breakfast.” He elbowed me and grinned.

“Oh, God, I don’t want to hear about the kinky, fucked up shit you two get into.” Drew made a gagging sound, then set his sandwich down. “Great. Now all I can see is your fucking hairy balls.”

“Hey, I said exercise—you’re the one who twisted it into my ass being naked.” Nathan chuckled. “And what the hell are you doing see my balls? I thought you’d be envisioning Lila, though I’m glad you weren’t, but is there something you need to tell us?”

Drew glared at Nathan, then shot a fry in his direction. “Shut the fuck up.”

Caroline rolled her eyes. “Yup, bunch of professional lawyers over here, not that anyone would guess.”

Drew sat up straighter and held his head high. “Professional when we need to be.”

Caroline quirked her brow at them. “Frat boys the rest of the time?”

Drew took a bite, then wiped his mouth. “You know I wasn’t a frat boy.”

“True, but I’m willing to bet Nate was.” Caroline turned her blue eyes back to Nathan, and he held up his right hand.

“Guilty.”

I gasped in shock and pulled back. “My God, what am I marrying?”

He eyed me sideways, his lip twitching up. “Prince Charming, remember?”

I scoffed. “This is one fucked up fairy tale.”

Nathan nodded, then he turned toward me, his eyes softening as he pulled me closer. “Yes, it is, but it’s ours.”

“Oh, by the way, I ran into someone who knows you when we were at the bridal shop.” I’d forgotten all about it.

His brow quirked. “Yeah? Who?”

I wracked my brain trying to remember his name. “Mack something. Said you met back when you were working on the Marconi case.”

Nathan swallowed hard, and set his sandwich down as he turned away from me. His profile didn’t stop me from seeing the color leave his skin. My stomach dropped, and a sickness washed over me. The air around him had become so thick that I was certain Drew and Caroline noticed his abrupt change in demeanor.

He only had that reaction when the Marconi were brought up.

“What else did he say?”

It’d been an innocent run-in, or so I thought. “Congratulations. That’s it.”

He turned back to me, his lips twitching into a forced smile, but his eyes couldn’t hide the combination of anger and dread.

“So, did you hear about Blackwell?” Caroline asked. “Seems he’s all the scandal with that intern Tara.”

I turned to look at her, mouthing a “thank you” as Drew jumped in, steering the conversation away and saving our peaceful lunch as much as possible.
