The first in a new three book series from
Ghiselle St. James
This is not a fairytale. This is not a story of a woman who is perfect. This is not the story of a perfect couple that sails off into the sunset. This is gritty. This is frustrating. This is heartbreaking. This is my story, hard as it may be to tell.
**********
My name is Sullivan Beal – at least, that’s what I tell people – and I live life by my own rules. Most of my adult life has been spent hiding from my past. That is, until I meet him face-to-face.
Ben Hayes is the demanding C.O.O. who is hell-bent on having me for himself. But, I’m wrong for him. I know it, the universe knows it.
If he ever found out who I really am, how utterly tainted I am, he wouldn’t waste his time wanting me.
There are things in my past that would destroy everyone in my wake.
But Ben is relentless, trying to break down the walls around my heart that a messy past has caused me to construct. It’s a pity he doesn’t know…I am too tainted for love.
“Love isn’t for me, and my kind of love is too tainted, too blemished to share with anyone.”

Meet Sullivan Beal who is the epitome of tall, beautiful, confidence – and she is on the prowl.
She isn't a cuddly-cute character, she's a man-eater and makes no qualms about it. I liked her immensely – she's different (yay!) from the typical romance heroine.
Enter Ben Hayes, successful, dominant, sexy-Alpha, and lusting for Sully! He's a big-shot C-O-O and he WILL get what he wants, one way or another.
I loved the characters, they could be real people – they were developed with good and bad traits. They are really the reason I enjoyed this story.
Sullivan and Ben together are explosive (as is the erotica), and they are just getting to know one another.
Unfortunately due to Sullivan's past, she is trying to keep him and herself protected, but just can't deny the pull Ben has on her. Even worse, Sully is waiting for the right time to tell him about her past...which may never come.
Especially when that PAST comes back to haunt!
I need to know what happens, I'm invested in these characters and the wait is going to kill me!!!!

When I read this book I forgot that it was part of a series. I was so into the book and then BAM it ended with a cliffhanger and I was screaming “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” I was hooked from the beginning. Sullivan is a woman who knows she is hot, can have any man or woman she wants and she uses that trait to her advantage. Ben is your typical sexy, successful Alpha. I love the relationship Sullivan has with her best friend Rachel. When Ben and Sullivan are together it is hot, explosive and just pure amazing but there are things Ben doesn’t know about Sullivan. Sullivan has a past that haunts her still to this day and it seems like that past is about to catch up with her. This book ends on a major cliffhanger; I sure hope the next one is out soon because I am dying to know what happens next.
Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: Oh yeah
Religious: No
Would I recommend to others: Yes
More than one book in the series: Yes
Genre: Erotica/Romance
Would I read more by this author: Yes
Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Delilah is running, running for her life. She left a mess in New York. Changing her name to Sullivan Beal surviving the only way she knows how. She never intended to meet Ben. Ben is a game changer. Will her past find her before her future story can be written?
I had a hard time with this one in the beginning, it wasn't keeping my interest. At about 34% I couldn't put it down. The story picked up for me and it picked up quick. It really was a good read and a great start to a series. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Ghiselle St. James is a Jamaican author who has a never-ending love for written thoughts: poetry, song lyrics and non-fiction. A songwriter by the age of 9, Ghiselle enjoys singing just as much as she loves writing. She has been writing erotic novels since she was 13 years old. Never mind that they went unpublished; she had something inside her that wanted to break free…and it helped that it made her popular with the boys (hehe). Writing has been her outlet for most of her life, and will continue to be.
Ghiselle lives in Jamaica with her husband, Chris, and her handsome baby, Panthro the cat. She works full time but always makes time for music, writing, reading and chatting on Goodreads.
Ugh, I hate talking about myself in the third person.
Anywho…
I went to the Jamaica Theological Seminary (haha, yes!) where I studied Social Work and graduated with honors in June 2010. Since then, the writer in me has reawakened and hasn’t gone to sleep. I completed my first novel in January of 2013 and had never felt so accomplished in my life.
I pray my passion brings you as much joy as it has brought me.
