Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Willow Winters comes heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat-gripping romantic suspense.

I saw her from across the bar. My bar. My city. Everything in that world belonged to me. She stood out from the crowd like she was looking for someone to blame for her pain.

That night, I felt the depths of my mistakes. I felt my scars. With a single glance, I knew her touch would take it all away. I craved it more than anything.

I knew she would be a tempting, beautiful mistake. One I would make again and again...even if it cost me everything.

Can’t wait for Book 2!!

Normally Dark Romance isn’t my cup of tea....but this book changed my mind! It’s definitely worth the credit! ♥️♥️♥️

Sebastian York doing what he does best

First, I was not prepared that this was the first book in a trilogy, so be warned if you haven't done that research already. It ends in a cliffhanger. Second, narrator Sebastian York was MADE FOR characters like Jase. This is his sweet spot and you are missing out if you don't take advantage of the audio. And Ava Erickson is excellent as well she is a perfect match for Seb.

The first installment of Jase and Bethany's story has some hiccups along the way, but the suspense that builds caused me to forgive them. The first half of the book opens in a short of shadow, with non-sequitur scenes and character flaws that don't add up. Several times I thought I'd missed something. Stick with it! As the story unfolds, and the characters develop those hiccups begin to look more and more like intentional strategies in the writing. I'm dying to see what happens next, and who Bethany and Jase are when their story concludes. They're hot together. He's a mystery. She's broken but strong. The full story is going to be good, I can feel it.

Love it

I could listen to this man's voice forever and never get tired of hearing it.

Emotional , Suspenseful, Unforgettable

A love hate relationship . To love someone you hate. To be confused by what you feel. Willow does not disappoint. ❤️

LOVED IT.. BUT IT’S A TRILOGY WITH A CLIFFHANGER

A single glance at who this book was written and narrated by is all it took for me to one click this dark, villainous and deliciously twisted story. BUT, nowhere does it warn the unsuspecting listener of a CLIFFHANGER ending.. or say “book 1 of a trilogy”.. AAARRRGHHH. I personally don’t like cliffhanger endings and only start them when they’re ALL there. So, please.. please.. PLEASE Audible people and lovely lovely Authors, WARN us that the unresolved story will end on a sour stop cliffhanger and then let us choose. Anyhoo, I’m stepping off my virtual soapbox now and on to my review.

This fairly short, addictive and entertaining dual POV first instalment by Willow absolutely flew by in a wicked cocktail of duty and dirty desires.. demons and distrust.. lust and lies - and, at the start of every unpredictable chapter, I knew I was all in until the very end. Bethany is mourning her sister Jenny’s bloody murder after her drug abuse slowly wrecked her life.. and Beth is convinced Jase Cross had something to do with it and angrily confronts him. Jase is a successful Bar owner but he’s something much more dangerous… he’s a ruthless and powerful criminal and he’s focused solely on his drug ring - and he doesn’t want any distractions. He’s a handsome, charismatic, dirty-talking alpha with very particular sexual tastes.. and he’s got a bag full of toys to indulge his bossy side. So, when beautiful, feisty, fiery Beth storms into his Bar shouting, he can’t take his eyes off her.. and slowly there’s a plan.. and a devious smile.

Jenny had died in debt to Jase the opportunist Drug Baron.. and now he’s got a wicked proposition and a Contract with Beth’s name on it. A Contract that will put her in the hands of Jase the skilled man with a very vivid imagination, a Dom who is going to tie her up and test her limits.. because Beth pushed the wrong man’s buttons. Beth is angry, she wants answers and she naively thinks she’ll get them from Jase.. but, she gets a Contract instead. But, when the clock starts to tick on the Contract, their chemistry simmers, smokes and starts a sizzling sexual awakening. And, as they slowly barter and banter and use each other for sex and answers, the exotic become erotic. However, it will ignite an emotional spiral and they’ll push boundaries, walls will crack, lines will get blurred and armour will fall. But desperate actions have consequences, Jase’s promises are broken and littered with secrets, they’ve held back truths and told lies.. and, as Beth starts to put the puzzle pieces together, their downfall will be painful.

Worth a credit? Yes definitely. It’s a well-written enemies-to-lovers story that is fast-paced, hot, gripping and suspenseful.. and it’s just warming up!! It’s also expertly narrated by Ava and Sebastian with absolutely no down-time on feels as these two wonderful narrators bring the damaged, yet likeable, characters to life.. to cause havoc and rock the stability of each other’s worlds.

Amazing start to a new series!

5 stars had me on the edge of my seat! I was caught up from the beginning and all the way through to being gasping when it suddenly stopped leaving me wanting more more more! Can’t wait for the next one. Hot! With a plot!

Need full series at once

FANTASTIC first book.. but it should be illegal for authors to publish a book at a time, when it is a series!!! Now I need to wait and I don’t even know for how long. It has me so hooked!

Willow Winters continues to enthrall me as a reader of romance! I loved this story to the very end, except for the cliffhanger. However, Ava Erickson and Sebastian York’s narration made up for it (a little)!😂😂Carter and Aria are smoking hot as a couple! Can’t wait to listen to the next audiobook.

Love this world!

The Merciless world is one of my favorites to be in! I love these characters and getting to know every single one of their stories! Jase and Bethany have a long twisted road ahead of them and I can't wait to walk it with them 🖤

Loved it

Oh I just loved Jace and Bethany story!! Listening to the Audible is amazing and makes the story come to life!! I would recommend this book to everyone!
