How did I end up marrying my high school bully?
I first met Ethan Carson when I was ten.
One look and I knew he was trouble.

He could charm you with his striking blue eyes, his killer smile, and a face that was made for Hollywood. But look closer and you’ll see the devil incarnate who was always a breath away from juvie.

To say we were mortal enemies growing up is an understatement.
I avoided him then, and I continue to do so now, even though he’s a cop—who would have thought. My avoidance tactics worked until the day I needed him. I took one tiny trip to Vegas, where we ended up drinking far too much. Big mistake-as in the mother of all mistakes.

We woke up the next morning in bed!
And neither of us can remember what happened.
But wait, it gets worse. So much worse.
That’s not the only thing we did.

The come-to-Jesus moment hits when I see the wedding ring on my finger.
We got married!
I married the devil.

Of course, I want this craziness fixed—ended—returned to the world where I’m not his Mrs.
But he wants us to stay together because he has other ideas.
When he makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I might be desperate enough to accept.
I just hope I don’t lose more than I bargained for in this outlandish scheme.

Like my heart.

“Maybe if we can remember where we got married we can go back there and tell them we were drunk and made a mistake, so they can fix it.” She’s flipping out. I can see it. “This is Vegas people must do this craziness all the time right?”
“Yeah, yeah,” I agree just to humor her.
“It could be done within the hour, and we could go home and laugh about it and tell everyone we were screwing with them.”
The quiver in her voice suggests she’s about to break. I might make her break faster because even though this is Vegas, you can’t get a marriage annulled within an hour.
“Bree. It’s not exactly as simple as that. It won’t happen that quickly.”
“Well, how long do you think it might take?”
Last I heard it might be a week and that’s if you can get through all the paperwork on time, but I won’t tell her that.
An idea forms in my mind as I stare at her and see how much she’s freaking out.
“It’s going to take a while, Bree. What if I get all the paperwork and take care of everything as best as I can while I put you on a flight home.”
“Home,” she mumbles.
“Yeah. Do you want to go home?”
“Yes, are you sure?”
“Yes.” It’s best if I’m not around her. I need to think.
I married Bree Dawson. Married the girl I used to pick on at school like I breathed air.
Her the goody-two-shoes southern belle and me the kid who was always in and out of juvie.
I married her and I can’t even remember saying I do.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 10, 2021

The residue of my sins and secrets arise demanding repayment.
And they might destroy us all over again.
There’s a lot to know about me.
I could start with my sins or my secrets.
But they are one and the same: I’m a liar.

Ten years ago, I left Logan.
My lies destroyed us.
But… what he didn’t know was I lied because I had to.
It was the only way to protect him from my father’s cruel hand.

That last goodbye was supposed to be forever.
I left town and never expected to see him again.
Then Aunt Lily died, and I returned home.
Not knowing her will would open Pandora’s box.

Her will threw me right back in Logan’s path, and back in his bed.
But he’s not the boy I left behind.
He’s the irresistible, tempting ex-marine women put on their wish list.
And our attraction is incinerating.
All consuming.
Undeniable.
And, unlike the past, there’s no one standing in our way.
There’s nothing to stop us.
Except me.

REVIEW:  SINS OR SECRETS is the first instalment in Khardine Gray’s contemporary, adult SINFUL BACHELORS erotic, romance series. This is thirty year old, former-Marine turned PI Logan Savage, and twenty-eight year old divorcee and dance teacher, Quinn Cambray- Lanford’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Quinn and Logan) SINS OR SECRETS follows the second chance romance and relationship between thirty year old former Marine turned PI Logan Savage, and twenty eight year old divorcee and dance teacher Quinn Cambray-Lanford. Ten years earlier Quinn Cambray walked away from our story line hero, breaking both of their hearts in the process but Quinn had a secret, and her father’s run for political office found the family heading to California where life as she knew is about to implode. Fast forward to present day wherein, the soon-to-be divorced Quinn Cambray returns to her home town of Wilmington, North Carolina following the death her beloved Aunt Lilly, a return that comes with the trepidation of facing the man she has never stopped loving. Enter former Marine Logan Savage, and the man with whom Quinn is still in love. The reading of Aunt Lilly’s will forces our couple to work together for the next six months, six months in which Quinn becomes the target of a dangerous man.

Quinn Cambray has no plans to remain in Wilmington, North Carolina but the terms of Aunt Lilly’s will are about to push our couple together, time together that may or may not come with a termination date. Quinn Cambray has never stopped loving our story line hero but the sins of the father are about to come full circle leaving our heroine in a desperate situation. Logan Savage has struggled since Quinn Cambray walked out of his life but a near fatal attack in Afghanistan forces Logan back home, where following a year of physio-therapy Logan starts a PI firm, a firm that is called to help the local police and the FBI. Having battled between head and heart Logan knows that Quinn is the woman he will always love but convincing Quinn to remain in Wilmington is a losing battle.

The relationship between Quinn and Logan is a rekindling romance destroyed by secrets , betrayal, vengeance and control. Logan Savage was blindsided by the Quinn’s disappearance ten years earlier but even more so with her return and the secrets she revealed about the life they once shared. Rebuilding their romance and relationship is easy but Quinn has no plans to stay beyond the six month deadline. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Quinn’s childhood best friend Bree Dawson; Quinn’s father former governor of California Peter Cambray; Quinn’s soon to be ex husband Riley Langdon; Logan’s best friend and Detective Ethan Carson, officer Bryce Taylor; local bad boy Billy Fairchild; Logan’s ex Monica; Heather Vaughn. There is something developing between Ethan and Bree.

SINS OR SECRETS is a story of power and control; betrayal and revenge; family, friendships, secrets and lies. The premise is intriguing, captivating and heart breaking; the rekindling romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are energetic, dynamic, broken but moving forward. SINS OR SECRETS is a wonderful introduction to the Sinful Bachelors Series.

Prologue
Quinn
Wilmington, ten years ago…Undiluted fear carries my trembling body through the night.
The charge of panic clouds my mind so heavily, I might as well be walking around in a thick fog.
I fled from my house, following my father’s orders. Heeding his threat.
That threat.
Oh God, that threat.
The thought brings tears to my eyes again, and I blink several times to stop myself from crying.
I can’t cry again. Not now. There will be the rest of my life to cry for my regrets. And this thing I’m about to do.
I have to focus. This is my one shot at making sure everything will be okay once I’m gone.
Dad was serious.
He’s always been strict with me, and I know any parent would go ape shit just like he did after discovering what happened to me. But his behavior was beyond belief.
I’d never seen him look so mad. Never, and something in my heart tells me I shouldn’t push my luck. After all, there were several times in the past when I suspected Dad of doing despicable things, but I never had proof.
Despicable things like people going missing…then turning up dead.
He works in the state’s attorney’s office, but he runs this town with his wealth and the Cambray oil fortune.
I might be young and I’ve done some foolish things, but it doesn’t mean I’m naïve to how the world works. I know money equals power.
People listen to you, and some keep silent for you.
I know enough to take anything my father says seriously, and that is the only reason why I’m doing this.
Logan’s house comes into view, and I stop in my tracks so abruptly my legs feel like they may snap.
I rushed all the way here, allowing the terror of what could happen to the boy I love to guide me. Now I’m looking at his house, and I can’t move.
I don’t know how I’m supposed to do this next part.
My father told me to break up with Logan.
But how can I do that?
This wasn’t what I saw in our future. What I saw was happiness and love. But if I fight for such a dream, what will happen?
I could lose everything.
I could lose Logan forever.
I would.
