About this ebook

I invited her into my world—never knowing I was already in hers.

I built my empire on one principle: know everything. Every connection. Every secret. Every threat.

Yet she found my blind spot.

I gave her everything—my bed, my secrets, my trust. The heart I'd buried under years of ambition and isolation.

Only to discover she didn't find me by accident. Former CIA. Investigating a deadly leak. Hired by shadows to hunt rumors that could destroy everything I've built.

Every kiss was a lie. Every vulnerable moment, a calculated move. She played me like a fucking mark, and I let her.

But the fire between us? That was real. And now that same fire might burn us both.

I've always been willing to pay any price to protect what's mine. Now I'll pay any price to keep her. Even if it means becoming the monster they already think I am.

Only the Wicked is Book 1 in the Sinful State series, where elite operatives and ruthless billionaires discover that the deadliest game is the one played with the heart.

Standalone romance. No cliffhanger. If you love these characters, the world continues—but this Wicked story is complete.

I invited her into my world—never knowing I was already in hers. I built my empire on one principle: know everything. Every connection. Every secret. Every threat. Yet she found my blind spot. I gave her everything—my bed, my secrets, my trust. The heart I'd buried under years of ambition and iso...

4.5 stars. Once I started reading this I had to finish it in one sitting as I wanted to see how it would all end, I felt a connection to both Rhodes and Sydney and believed in theirs. I loved that I wasn't sure what was going to happen, that there were so many different layers to this story. I loved seeing the connection between them and that they could trust each other. I'm looking forward to reading more from this series.

This was my first experience with this author's work. I was entertained by the story. I liked Sydney who was independent, courageous, and driven to find answers regarding her last assignment. I liked Rhodes who buried himself in his work until he met Sydney. When the two were forced by circumstances to work together, in spite of their mistrust, the suspense kept me on the edge-of-my seat. I enjoyed all the twists and turns. There were some steamy scenes depicted. I liked the dual narration.

This was a fantastic way to kick off a series and was very nearly a top read (the only reason it wasn't was due to personal taste rather than quality). I adored the characters, including the side ones and cameos from previous series, and the plot will keep you guessing until the final few chapters. With everything that went down and that was also uncovered it'll be interesting to see what follows. Speaking of, I couldn't write my review instantly like normal, so I'm keeping my review short.
