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 March 22, 2024

My Villain. My Rebel. My Ruthless Hunter…
Hunter Le Blanche is one of New York’s most sought-after billionaires.
People call him the Wall Street Shark because he always gets what he wants.
His latest conquest just happens to be me.
We met by mistake.
I thought he was someone else when I was attempting to cross off the most significant item on my bucket list—
losing my V card.
Fleeing with embarrassment, I hoped never to see the beautiful devil again.
However, fate had other plans for me the next day when my father announces I’m to marry him.
My father needs Hunter’s investment and our union to increase his chances of becoming governor. While Hunter needs a wife to get the Le Blanche empire.
Bound by duty, I agree to the marriage—as if I had a choice.
That’s the moment my world becomes a twisted fairytale.

Belle had the Beast.
Persephone had Hades.
I have the Shark.

Falling for Hunter Le Blanche is a mistake I can’t afford.
Our tale isn’t exactly like the one as old as time.
But suddenly I’m enjoying his touch and him calling me his wife more than I should.
Everything about him weakens my resolve, and soon I can’t help myself.
Neither can he.
Until the day I find out his true intentions and dark secrets.
Hunter isn’t the man I believed him to be.
Neither is our marriage.

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 3, 2023

My villain. My monster. My Ruthless knight…
Knight Grayson isn’t just one of New York’s elite billionaires.
He’s the embodiment of Hades in a tailored suit and a beautiful devil waiting to destroy.
He always gets what he wants, no matter the cost.
Including me.

One harmless, sexy encounter places him in my path and before I know it, I’m caught in his strategic trap.
Although he insists I’m not his Persephone, he steals me away from my almost-fiancé́.
And my life.

This isn’t like the mythical tale of old driven by love.
To him, I’m a pawn in a game of power because I have something he wants.
In order to build his empire and get his legacy, he needs my inheritance.
Since the only way to get that is to marry me, he forces my hand by using my father.

Six months of marriage, along with the ownership of my inheritance, and my father’s extortionate debts will go away.

To save my father, I signed Knight’s contract, binding myself to every term and condition.
But then, the boundaries between us begin to blur.

Each public kiss, intended for show, feels dangerously genuine and pulses with undeniable attraction.
As his hunger for power evolves into a craving for me, we start to forget that our marriage is a contract.
Yearning for his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was becoming his new obsession.

But when the veil lifts, revealing his dark secrets and twisted lies, we both realize we have more to lose than just ourselves.

REVIEW:RUTHLESS KNIGHT is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES dark, erotic, romance series. This is thirty year old, billionaire Knight Grayson, and twenty-four year old, writer/journalist Aurora Wright’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Knight and Aurora) RUTHLESS KNIGHT follows the building relationship and arranged marriage between Knight Grayson and Aurora Wright. The only thing standing between Knight Grayson and the position of CEO at Grayson Inc is our story line heroine. Knight and his brother Jericho 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, each of the grandsons must prove they are worthy by first performing a task that will be difficult for everyone involved. Knight is determined to win at whatever game his grandfather is playing but never expected to fall in love with his intended target. Enter journalist/writer Aurora Wright, a young woman whose life is about to be destroyed by her reckless father, and a determined billionaire who will win at all costs. What ensues Is the building but acrimonious relationship between Aurora and Knight, and the potential fall-out as their arranged marriage/marriage of convenience is a ruse; a betrayal from the father she loves, and the man who is stealing her heart.

The world building focuses on the dysfunctional family dynamics of the Grayson family, and the betrayal at the heart of Aurora’s loss. The only way to protect her father, Aurora must marry a man she does not know but a man who is about to control every aspect of her life. Aurora is unaware of the true nature of the deceit but truth reveals years of lies perpetuated by secrets and sins of which our heroine is completely unaware.

The relationship between Aurora and Knight begins as an almost one-night stand but Knight is well aware of his intended victim, and Aurora is about to fall for a man who will control her life. Married within weeks of introduction, Aurora must play the part of a loving wife or lose control of what is left of her spiralling life. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several key characters who play a significant role in both Aurora and Knight’s relationship and life: Knight’s brother Jericho, their half-brother Bastian, and father Tobias Grayson; grandparents Bradford and Etta Grayson; Aurora’s embattled father William Wright; her best friend Madison, and Aurora’s ex boyfriend Nathan, who is determined to claim what does not belong.

RUTHLESS KNIGHT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, games and manipulations, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the characters are broken but determined and desperate; the romance is intoxicating and aggressive but Aurora is defiant to the end.
