Dirty Little Secret by Kendall Ryan: Emma is a librarian who loves romances while she hasn’t the success in own love life that the heroines in her favorite books have. She’s beautiful, smart, well-read, and has a backbone when pushed.

Gavin is a sexy, dominant, alpha male. He’s in business with his brothers and they’ve come a long way from their circumstances growing up. He can be charming when he wants to, but he so rarely has to with women falling at his feet.

Emma is intrigued by the sexy stranger she routinely sees at the coffee shop. There’s something about him that calls to her, despite the fact that they’ve never really interacted. When she steps out of her comfort zone and pursues a chance to know more about the enigmatic stranger, both are surprised, but in different ways.

“Must be the librarian in me. I love a good story.”
“Which do you prefer…tragedy or romance?”
My smile faded. “I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”
He nodded. “In my experience, there’s usually not a difference.”

Gavin is absolutely not looking for a relationship. He’s been down that road before and been burned…badly. But he can’t resist the temptation and chemistry between them despite his efforts to ignore her. Gavin pulls out a side of Emma she never knew she had and she challenges him. They finally give in to temptation only to find more than they expected.

“Apology accepted. But…”
His eyebrows drew up. “But?”
“I have a few stipulations first.”
Looking amused, Gavin motioned for me to continue. “Go on.”

Dirty Little Secret is a sexy, hot, rollercoaster that will leave you hanging as it ends on a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more. Kendall Ryan draws you into a world of money, power, sex, and secrets. Ms. Ryan created an intriguing cast of friends, family, and employees. Fans of Lisa Renee Jones, Beth Kery, and Roni Loren will enjoy Dirty Little Secret.

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan…

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How can I resist when the sexual sparks zapping between us set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns about my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

The story continues in Dirty Little Promise, releasing October 9.
