ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 19, 2021
Red is the color of blood, sacrifice, danger, and courage. It’s also associated with heat, passion, and sexuality. When two people meet unexpectedly with an inexplicable attraction that defies common understanding…it can be called RED SIN.
Julia and Van found one another in a shaken snow globe. Stranded in a blizzard, they embraced being two individuals with no last names. The plan was to walk away from each other with no regrets—until that plan changed.
Julia’s life was delivered a staggering blow the day she discovered her fiancé’s infidelity. The night she met a handsome stranger, one who showed her the possibility of a life filled with more than the fulfillment of expectations, she took a chance.
When it comes to business, Donovan Sherman is a wolf—a bloodthirsty carnivore who leaves wounded prey and victims in his wake. He learned from the best, his onetime nemesis and now-mentor, Lennox Demetri, who showed him that opportunities are only ripe for those willing to risk it all, a lesson Donovan took to heart.
With Julia McGrath, Donovan must decide if this beautiful woman who showed him the meaning of red sin will fall victim as his prey or if after experiencing the unbridled passion, there is more that he wants.

REVIEW: RED SIN is the first full-length instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult SIN erotic, age-gap, romantic suspense series focusing on forty-one year old businessman Donovan ‘Van’ Sherman, and twenty-four year old Julia McGrath.RED SIN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of the prequel WHITE RIBBON.
.
NOTE: There is a prequel novella -WHITE RIBBON -that was first released as part of the I HAVE LIVED, AND I HAVE LOVED anthology. Depending upon your copy of RED SIN, it may or may not contain the introductory story line.
SOME BACKGROUND: Weeks before her wedding to childhood friend Skylar Butler, Julia would discover a double betrayal from her fiance and her best friend. Leaving Chicago, and heading to the deep country of Wisconsin, Julia embarked on the next phase of her life, a life that included Donovan Sherman.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Van and Julia) RED SIN picks up immediately after the events of the prequel WHITE RIBBON in which Julia was rescued during a blizzard by a stranger, a stranger who would become her lover and her boss but within hours of introduction, Julia would discover there is more to Donovan ‘Van’ Sherman than she could ever have imagined. Donovan is a businessman who acquires other companies, in an effort to dismantle, sell or ultimately destroy. With Julia’s family owned pharmaceutical on the brink of bankruptcy, Donovan has offered a deal, a deal that will either make or break our story line heroine. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Julia and Van, and the potential fall-out as Van’s secrets are about to be revealed.
The relationship between Van and Julia begins as a rescue when Julia finds herself caught in an unexpected blizzard. Rescued by Van, Julia would succumb to Van’s alpha demands, demands that Julia is willing to submit and obey. One week together, and Julia and Van make plans towards a happily ever after but all is not well behind the scenes for our story line couple. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Julia’s ex fiance Skylar Butler; her parents Gregg and Ana McGrath, as well as Van’s housekeepers Paula and Margaret.
RED SIN is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control; family, relationships, secrets and lies. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive ; the characters are charismatic, lively and impassioned. RED SIN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
