ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2024

Agreeing to fake date my older brother’s best friend—the first man who ever broke my heart— was a disaster waiting to happen.

Asher Le Blanche is heir to a multibillion-dollar empire.
He has the flawless face of Adonis, the body of a Greek god, and the soulless heart of the devil.

The tabloids crown him the most desirable bachelor in the country.
To me? He was the guy I’d been in love with since I was ten.

Three years ago, I made the foolish mistake of throwing myself at him, only for him to turn me down without a second thought.
Fast-forward to today, when I make another mistake that sees him bailing me out of a county jail.

Things spiral further when I’m denied campus housing, and my brother asks Asher if I can stay with him for a few months.

What neither of them knows is that I’m running from a loan shark, a secret that explodes in my face when Asher discovers it.

That’s when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse.
He’ll pay off my debt if I agree to one condition:

Fake date him for three months.

Pretend to be his girlfriend to keep his father from arranging his marriage to the daughter of his biggest rival.

It was supposed to be simple.
We just had to make everyone believe we were real.

But soon, every touch and every kiss starts feeling all too real.
And the rules we set become harder to follow. For both of us.

I swore I wouldn’t fall for him again.
Then we become so wrapped up in each other that I can’t even see the line we weren’t supposed to cross.

Just when we think we’ve outsmarted everyone, everything blows up in our faces.
What started as a temporary fix quickly turns into the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
And this time, more than my heart is on the line.

REVIEW:RUTHLESS HEIR is the fifth instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES erotic romance series. This is thirty year old billionaire businessman Asher Le Blanche, and musician Harper St. John’s story line. RUTHLESS HEIR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: In accordance with their grandfather’s will, the Le Blanche siblings need to marry before taking a seat at the proverbial Le Blanche Global Enterprise, and as the next CFO, Asher is expected to marry within the next six months.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Asher and Harper) RUTHLESS HEIR follows several pathways including the frenemies to lovers relationship between our story line couple. Approximately four years earlier, Harper attempted to seduce her brother’s best friend Asher Le Blanche but after Asher’s rejection, Harper found herself struggling to survive a car accident that left her without her memories of the past. Fast forward to present day, Harper’s life continues to spiral out of control, and when Asher is forced to bail Harper out of jail, she find herself homeless and struggling to move on with her life. Living with Asher means facing the man who broke her heart, a man who is about to make Harper an offer she cannot refuse. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Asher and Harper, and the potential fall-out as the past returns, and betrayal from within threatens the growing love between our story line couple.

The world building follows several pathways including Harper’s dark demons, Asher’s desire for a woman he cannot have; and a new direction for Le Blanche Global Enterprise that threatens the entire company.

The relationship between Harper and Asher is a best friend’s sister forbidden romance. Harper’s brother Josh has forbidden Asher from dating our story line heroine. Asher’s reputation with the ladies precedes his arrangement with his best friend’s sister but Asher is desperate, and Harper is vulnerable and desperate. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Several of the previous story line couples and characters return including Asher’s brother Hunter and his wife Luna (Ruthless Hunter), and their cousin/brother Luc; their father Preston Le Blanche, and Jericho Grayson, as well as Harper’s best friend Beth.

RUTHLESS HEIR is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, family and friendships, obsession and love. The premise is intriguing, dramatic and intense; the romance is fated, provocative and seductive; the characters are charismatic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 16, 2024

My villain, my monster, my Devious Knight…
Be careful what you wish for…

Sometimes, your wishes transform into nightmares, dark and twisted versions of the dreams you once desired.
That’s how I became the latest obsession of my nemesis.
His name is Kade Gurkovsky.
He’s the epitome of untouchable—a football god and heir to one of the most powerful secret societies at Raventhorn University.
In high school, he was the center of my universe, the sun I revolved around.

Kade is handsome and strong. Savage and cold. A beautiful monster.
Now, in college, he’s finally noticed me. But not for the reasons I’d once hoped for.
Kade has a personal vendetta against me, a grudge I can’t erase. He doesn’t just want revenge; he wants control. He wants me.
Love and hate aren’t supposed to be the same thing. But for us, they are.
We’re opposites that shouldn’t attract, an enigma that defies reason. Kade haunts both my dreams and my nightmares—always watching, always chasing.

What begins as a dark game of retribution soon spirals into a fight against secrets that could destroy us both—secrets as dark as the lies we’ve been living.

•••••

REVIEW:DEVIOUS KNIGHT is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, new adult SINS OR SAINTS dark, erotic, Mafia bully romance set in the author’s Cruel Lies/ Cruel Promises world, as well as the author’s Raventhorn Academy and Dark Syndicate worlds. This is nineteen year old, Bratva heir Kade Gurkovsky, and Kolyav’s story line. DEVIOUS KNIGHT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous series and story line is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: Raventhorn University is a prestigious and time-honored private school for the family and children of the criminal underworld. The ruling secret society of Knights controls every aspect of the university including the lives and futures of the ruling elite.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kade and Isabelle) DEVIOUS KNIGHT follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Three years earlier, Isabelle lost her mother to an assassin’s bullet, and Kade lost his parents to a deadly bombing but the fall-out of Isabelle’s attempt to discover the identity of her mother’s killer spirals down affecting our story line hero. Fast forward to present day, Kade has become Isabelle’s bully and tormentor, and Isabelle is about to discover the depths to which Kade is willing to go to destroy out story line heroine including her hopes for a future far away from Raventhorn Academy. What ensues is the stalker/bully relationship between Kade and Isabelle, and the potential fall-out as the past returns taking aim at our story line couple.

The world building focuses on Kade need for revenge, directing his animosity and anger at our story line heroine. Isabelle is struggling to survive the next few weeks but Kade is determined to destroy Isabelle, and all of her hopes going forward.

The relationship between Isabelle and Kade is an enemies to lovers: bully romance based on misunderstanding and grief. Kade takes aim at Isabelle, claiming our heroine as his own but Isabelle is determined to escape the confines of her bully prison. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Thorn and Ivy (vicious Knight 1), Lucian and Eilish, Aleksander Ivanov, mean girl Tiffany Vasilyev, and Isabelle’s friend Mackenzie. We are introduced to Isabelle’s father Principal Kolyav, and new university director Parker Federov.

DEVIOUS KNIGHT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession, redemption and determination, acceptance and love but saying that there is a familiarity to each instalment and interconnected series and stories . The character driven premise is dramatic, intense and captivating; the romance is forced proximity but seductive; the characters are animated and tragic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27, 2024

I need the money to save my mother.
The mafia boss needs a temporary wife. I ran back home, seeking solace from my troubled past. But then I plunged into another fiery abyss.

My mother is ensnared by an enormous debt to Cillian O’Ridian, the dark and dangerous king of the Irish Mafia. And she’s seriously ill. Without the money for her surgery, she won’t survive.

I need funds not just to pay Cillian off but to save my mother’s life.

Cillian is a man shrouded in danger—someone you instinctively avoid. In my case, he’s the ruthless debtor. But then he makes me an offer I can’t refuse —

Be his wife for six months so he can secure his empire, and he will settle our debts and cover my mother’s medical expenses.

It should have been a simple business arrangement, but things quickly became complicated. Before we even exchanged vows, I found myself falling for him.

I know it’s wrong. I’m not supposed to want this man.
Given my past and his status in the mafia, he should be off-limits to me.

Yet, every time he calls me ‘my wife,’ and his touch makes me feel like I belong to him, my heart becomes entangled in ways I never anticipated.

Foolishly, I begin to dream of a future together.
Until reality hits hard, and I realize that losing my heart to Cillian isn’t the only threat.
His enemies have become my enemies, and “till death do us part” might come sooner than either of us expected.

•••••

REVIEW: FEARLESS SINNER is the third instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult EMPIRE OF SINNERS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is head of the Irish Crime Family Cillian O’Ridian, and former dancer Chloe Ricci’s story line. FEARLESS SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cillian and Chloe) FEARLESS SINNER follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Having barely escaped an abusive relationship, Chloe Ricci is called home to discover her mother is sick, and her step-father has plunged the family into debt with the Irish Mob. Desperate to save both her mother and the family business, Chloe is willing to do anything but never expected to find herself married to the Irish boss. Enter Cillian O’Ridian, the man with whom Chloe will fall in love. Cillian O’Ridian has six weeks to get married as part of the position as the man at the top. Cillian believes the only woman he would ever love is gone but falling for Chloe meant a second chance at a happily ever after . All is not well in Cillian O’Ridian’s world, and Chloe is about to get caught in the middle, a pawn to be used in a game of cat and mouse. What ensues is the building relationship, and marriage of convenience between Cillian and Chloe, and the potential fall-out as the O’Ridian Crime Family is forced into a war with an unknown foe.

The world building follows several paths including Chloe’s desperate attempts to save the family business; a faceless enemy who is taking aim at our story line hero; and betrayal from within that threatens everything Cillian holds dear.

The relationship between Cillian and Chloe begins when Chloe approaches Cillian about the debt her step-father incurred. Cillian demands payment from our story line heroine, unaware of the steps Chloe is willing to take in order to save face and the family business. As Cillian begins to ‘seek out’ the woman with whom he will fall in love, someone else is targeting our story line hero. The $ex scenes are provocative and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters are dynamic and colorful. We are introduced to Chloe’s mom, and Chloe’s best friend Roxanne, Jaxon Bortsov, as well as the return of Bratva second in command Dante Levitsky; Cillian’s sister Olivia O’Ridian and Bratva heir Virgo Antonov. The requisite evil has many faces.

FEARLESS SINNER is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and intriguing; the romance is passionate and fated; the characters are desperate and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 19, 2024

My villain, my monster, my vicious Knight…

I’m supposed to be a secret.
No one can know my true identity.
Or that I’m a dead girl walking.
But I caught the attention of the one guy my parents warned me to stay away from.

Thorne Ivanov reigns supreme at Raventhorn University, home of the Knights, one of the most powerful secret societies in the world.

An heir to its leader, Thorne is as devastatingly handsome as the dark villains in movies you’re not supposed to like—but you do.

Thorne is a twisted, devious savage.

I knew better than to fall into his trap and become his latest obsession. But my world turns upside down when he uncovers my secret and decides to blackmail me.

In exchange for his silence, I belong to him.

His fascination soon becomes my nightmare.
Our arrangement dragged us into a labyrinth of dark secrets we were never meant to discover.
Then we find ourselves fighting for our lives.

•••••••

REVIEW: VICIOUS KNIGHT is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, new adult SINS AND SAINTS dark, erotic, Mafia bully romance set in the author’s Cruel Lies/ Cruel Promises world, as well as the author’s Raventhorn Academy and Dark Syndicate worlds. This is Bratva heir/ Knight legacy Thorn Ivanov, and Ivy ‘Annika Bershov’ Yegorov’s story line. VICIOUS KNIGHT can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading CRUEL LIES/ CRUEL PROMISES Duet. VICIOUS KNIGHT takes places shortly after the events of the aforementioned duet.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, including descriptions of graphic violence, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Thorn and Ivy) VICIOUS KNIGHT follows eighteen year old Ivy Yegorov’s first year at Raventhorn University, a school for the legacy children of the secret society of Knights but Ivy is hiding in plain sight, she is not whom she claims to be, and as the step-daughter of a Legacy Knight, her position is questionable on many levels. Warned to stay clear of anyone with the Ivanov name, Ivy struggles with her attraction to twenty year old Thorn Ivanov, in the wake of Thorn’s need to blackmail and control. Thorn is determined to claim Ivy as his own but when their pasts collide, Thorn is determined to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, and prove that betrayal has come at a cost to everyone involved.

The world building follows several paths including the numerous betrayals and deceptions of and by the previous generations. Along with Ivy and Thorn, many of their current classmates and friends have also felt the wrath of those who continue to control the families and the school.

The relationship between Ivy and Thorn begins as enemies to friends to lovers, a bully romance in the face of secrets and lies, and the innocence of one young woman caught between the truth and the past. The $ex scenes are provocative and aggressive, and not without some questions of consent or coercion.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, colorful and dangerous secondary and supporting characters including Thorn’s cousin Caspian Ivanov, and Willow Raventhorn, (Cruel Lies Duet), Lucian and Eilish, Kade and as well as Ivy’s mother and step father, and Thorn’s controlling father Aleksander Ivanov, mean girl Tiffany Vasilyev, and Ivy’s friends Isabelle and Mackenzie. The requisite evil has many faces. Kade and Isabelle’s story line is next.

VICIOUS KNIGHT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, murder and retribution, power and control, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense but there is a definite ‘YA’ young adult feel to the story line with the mean girls and controlling/ oblivious adults; the romance is forced but eventually passionate and loving; the characters are broken , determined and embattled.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 6, 2024

My Knight. My Rebel. My Forbidden Villain …

In the dazzling lights of Vegas, I indulged in a passionate one-night stand with a man who looked like a Greek god in the flesh.
We agreed: no names, no strings attached, just an unforgettable night of fun.
The plan was simple—say goodbye and move on.
Little did I know fate had other ideas for me.
I never expected to run into Mr. Greek god in New York a week later at my father’s fundraiser.
Nor to find out that the godlike man is Luc Le Blanche, the NHL star defenseman for the Hawks.
The Hawks, as in the hockey team my father just bought.
To make matters worse, my father declares me off-limits to him because of the bitter rivalry between Luc’s father and mine.
Luc has also made an enemy out of my father since the team’s sale.
Due to the control my father has over my inheritance and Luc’s career with the team, we’re forced to obey his demands.
The problem is we can’t keep our hands off each other.
Despite the stakes, neither of us can resist the magnetic pull drawing us together.
Caught between desire and duty, Luc proposes a daring solution:
We see each other in secret.

Of course I agree.

I know the risk and what’s at stake if we get caught.
I also know he can’t be mine.
Yet each stolen moment and every forbidden kiss fuels my hunger for the 6’6 tattooed hockey god.
When things get complicated, I’m not sure what will break me more.
The exposure of our secret romance.
Or falling for him…
A man my father calls the villain.

REVIEW:RUTHLESS VILLAIN is the third instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is thirty-one year old, professional hockey player/billionaire Luc Le Blanche, and twenty-four year old heiress/journalist Autumn Jakobe’s story line. RUTHLESS VILLAIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Luc Le Blanche is best friends with Knight (Ruthless Knight 1)and Jericho Grayson (Ruthless Rebel 2).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luc and Autumn) RUTHLESS VILLAIN follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Luc Le Blanche was on leave from the New York Hawks, and Vegas looked like the perfect destination to lick his wounds but Luc never expected to be ghosted by his one-night stand, a woman who quickly would steal his heart but upon his return to the team, Luc would discover the woman of his heart is the team owner’s daughter, a man who has targeted our story line hero. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple, and the potential fall-out when Luc and Autumn’s affair become public knowledge.

The world building is detailed and dark. Autumn’s past is heart breaking,and in the interim she is no longer in control of her life, having all of her personal and private directed without her consent. Having met Luc meant a new start and a new future but lines will be drawn, rules will be broken, and Autumn will become a pawn in a dangerous game. Luc has been proclaimed the bad-boy of hockey but he is struggling in the wake of the team owner’s hatred of, and dislike of everything Le Blanche. A history between families threatens the growing love between our story line couple, and someone else is taking aim at the woman Luc loves.

The relationship between Luc and Autumn begins as a one-night stand in Las Vegas, wherein neither one knew the other’s true identity. Unable to locate the woman with whom he would fall in love, Luc would quickly discover that claiming her heart comes with too many barriers he may not be able to control. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several teams members, Autumn’s parents including her father Shawn Jakobe, her sister Charlotte and fiancé Cole; hockey player Evan Kowalski, as well as Knight and Jericho Grayson.

RUTHLESS VILLAIN is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is emotional, captivating and edgy; the characters are animated, tragic and inspiring; the romance is seductive and provocative.

••••••

REVIEW: RUTHLESS REBEL is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is twenty-nine year old billionaire Jericho Grayson, and twenty-six year old dancer River St. James’ story line. RUTHLESS REBEL can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading book one Ruthless Knight.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: Jericho Grayson and his brother Knight are their father’s eldest sons but Tobias Grayson refuses to recognize his eldest boys. Grandfather Bradford Grayson has made it clear, in an effort to gain control of Grayson Inc, each of the grandsons must prove they are worthy by first performing a task that will be difficult for everyone involved.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jericho and River) RUTHLESS REBEL follows the rekindling romance, and marriage of convenience between our story line couple. Approximately eight years earlier Jericho destroyed the woman he loved, walking away in an effort to protect her heart, and his own reputation. Fast forward to present day, Jericho will come face to face with the woman he still loves, the woman he would destroy, a second time around. River St. James is struggling with life including paying the debts of her ailing aunt, and catering to the whims of her embittered father.At the demands of his grandfather, Jericho needs to marry to inherit the mantle of CFO and thirty percent ownership of Grayson Inc, and River is ripe for the picking. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and marriage of convenience between River and Jericho, and the fall-out when secrets from the past threaten our story line couple.

The world building focuses on the River’s need to protect her father, and save the woman who sacrificed everything for our story line heroine. Jericho Grayson is hiding years of betrayal behind his need for a woman whose heart he destroyed, a betrayal, that once revealed, runs much deeper than anyone could have ever imagined. Jericho’s backstory is heartbreaking; River’s history in the aftermath of Jericho’s rejection is rife with suffering and betrayal, a betrayal that will continue without her knowing.

The relationship between Jericho and River is one of second chances. River struggles to forgive Jericho for breaking her heart but the truth will reveal a much darker betrayal by someone else. Jericho has never stopped loving our story line heroine but Jericho believes his secrets and lies will destroy everything he has worked hard to forget. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

Most of the secondary and supporting characters have questionable intentions, and not without a darker agenda. We are reintroduced to Jericho’s brother Knight, and their embroiled half brother Bastian: River’s ex fiance Sasha Konstantin, and her father Neil St. James; Jericho’s best friend, professional hockey player Luc; River’s best friend Eden; and Jericho’s assistant Corey. The requisite evil has many faces. Luc’s story line is next.

RUTHLESS REBEL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, greed and deception, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, impassioned and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are broken, charismatic and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2023

I don’t remember who I am or where I came from. But he does. He found me. He knows me. He told me we used to belong to each other. And he wants me back. His name is Virgo Antonov. The man with a face and body that looks like it was sculpted to flawless perfection by all the angels of Heaven. I might not remember him, but that night when he found me, he sparked something familiar in my heart. The problem is, after I was rescued from the accident that stole my memories, I was given one warning- Don’t trust anyone who recognizes you.

Virgo has trouble inked all over his body in decadent Bratva tattoos. He’s the kind of man you’d run from, anyway. But the choice to run is taken from me when I find myself behind bars, suspected of murder. When Virgo saves me with a crazy offer of marriage, I accept because I don’t have a hope in hell of clearing my name. I’ve been calling myself Alice because it feels like I’ve been crawling down an endless rabbit hole. Now he’s taking me to Wonderland.

The place that holds answers I might not want to find and dark secrets someone wants to keep buried. As my memories start pouring back, I remember the danger that sent me running. Although Virgo vows to protect me, being with him is one mistake I shouldn’t have made. Because someone still wants me dead.

REVIEW: MERCILESS SINNER is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult EMPIRE OF SINNERS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is twenty-six year old Irish mob princess Olivia O’Ridian , and thirty-one year old, Bratva heir Virgo Antonov’s story line. MERCILESS SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but for back story I recommend reading book one RUTHLESS SINNER.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Olivia and Virgo) using present day and memories from the past, MERCILESS SINNER focuses on the rekindling romance and relationship between our story line couple. Several years earlier, Olivia’s parents were murdered, and our heroine disappeared without a trace leaving a heart broken and angry Virgo Antonov behind. Fast forward to present day wherein Virgo, who has never stopped looking for the woman he loved, will discover his heart working in Monte Carlo, a woman who no longer remembers what happened or why. To keep Olivia safe, Virgo forces Olivia to become his wife, as he searches for the people responsible for destroying the their lives. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Olivia and Virgo, and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to let, again taking aim at our story line heroine.

The worlding building continues to focus on the group known as the Creed, a collection of Mafia, Bratva and Mob leaders who control the illegal underground around the world. As Olivia struggles to regain everything she has lost, Virgo begins to suspect someone close, for destroying the woman he loved.

The relationship between Olivia and Virgo is one of second chances. Olivia no longer remembers her past but for a few moments including the death of her beloved parents. With the help of a professional, Olivia must come to terms with the cruelty of her world, a cruelty that very well extends to the man she once loved. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are introduced to Virgo’s sister Piper and her husband Ivan; Bratva Pakhan and Virgo’s boss Dante Levitsky (Ruthless Sinner #1); Olivia’s uncle Seamus, and her brother Cillian, as well as Virgo’s father Andreas Antonov; and Olivia’s friend Amelia. Cillian’s story line is next.

MERCILESS SINNER is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, greed and jealousy, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, twisted and dramatic; the characters are deceptive, charismatic and dynamic; the romance is provocative and healing.
