Red Sin
Sin Series Book 1
by Aleatha Romig
Genre: Steamy Romantic Suspense
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.
From
New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new
age-gap, family saga, chance meeting, contemporary romantic-suspense
novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and
revenge is sweeter.

Lifting the bottle of wine, I knew that I was losing my battle with myself. The restraint I’d exercised throughout the day disappeared with the sunlight. Much like the wolves that came and went from my property, I had my prey in my sights and any self-control I’d forced myself to exhibit waned with each passing second. My hunger was growing to the point of starvation, and it wasn’t food that I sought.
Julia walked beyond the sofa and fireplace to the windows and stared out toward the bay. “I can’t describe how I feel right now.” She spun toward me. “It’s new.”
I could stare at her for hours. Julia carried herself in a way that exhibited confidence and need at the same time. The dichotomy was fascinating. Her openness and honesty were inviting. It wasn’t simply her beauty and her youth; Julia had a presence that lured me toward her.
“Tell me.”
She shrugged. “It’s consuming, you know, as they talk about in books. I didn’t think the kind of attraction that they described was real. I’ve never been attracted to someone so much that everything else in life pales in importance.”
Her admission made me smile. “You described it well.” After setting the bottle of wine on the table between the sofa and fireplace, I took a step toward her. “I can describe what I see.” I scanned from Julia’s painted toenails to her beautiful yellow hair, no longer contained in a twist as it had been earlier in the day. Now it flowed over her slender shoulders creating a wavy veil.
Her lips parted and closed.
“You’re stunning, Julia. There’s no denying that. If Butler didn’t tell you that a thousand times a day, he didn’t truly see what a rare gift he wasted. The thing is, as gorgeous as you are, your beauty isn’t your greatest asset. When I see you and I’m near you, I sense your energy, your vitality, and your genuineness. Those are rare qualities.
“I spend a lot of time alone, but I also spend time with business, here in Wisconsin and while traveling. The authenticity I sense in you is unique.” Taking another step toward her, I reached for the stem of her glass and set it on a nearby table. “I could become addicted.”
She inclined her chin, keeping her blue eyes fixed on me. “Van, right now, I’m not sure about who you think I am. I’m different when I’m with you.”
“I can’t imagine you any other way.”
