From New York Times & USA Today bestselling
author, Kendall Ryan, comes the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series!!
Synopsis:
Pace Drake loves sex. He knows where get it, what
to say, what to do, and he makes no apologies for satisfying his needs. But
when he meets single mom, Kylie Sloan, he's enthralled by her, and begins to
question his standard operating procedure. After all, there's no chase, no
mystery when banging a woman in a nightclub bathroom. Kylie's depth and
determination make the sloppy, drunken hookups that fill his weekends seem
empty and shallow. She's the opposite of the desperate, clingy women he's used
to. She doesn’t want or need anyone to take care of her and that only makes him
want to care for her more.
Kylie's trust in men has vanished. The last guy she
was with played ding-dong-ditch-it with her uterus and left her with a baby to
raise. Now her infant son is the only man she has time for, even if she misses
sex and intimacy more than she'd ever admit. Opening her heart up to a younger
man who's best known for no-strings-attached sex and his casual lifestyle is
probably the worst idea she's ever had. But Pace wants to prove to her there
are still a few good guys left, and watching the sweet way he interacts with
her baby makes her want to try…but she can really trust that his days of
hitting it and quitting it are in his past?
Filthy Beautiful Lust is the third book in the
Filthy Beautiful Lies series, however it can be read as a standalone novel (no
cliffhanger). To understand the full growth and development of the characters,
it is recommended that you begin with book 1, Filthy Beautiful Lies.
Excerpt:
Chapter 1
I still recall that
day in the pool last summer when I'd taken the crying baby from her and
entertained him all afternoon. I couldn't even be sure why I'd done it. I
suppose, looking back, she just looked like she could use a hand. I've never
liked seeing a woman struggle. Although a damsel in distress, she is not. I get
the sense she's not the type to back down from a challenge and has enough
strength and determination to succeed at just about anything she tried. A sexy
quality, to be sure.
As we stand there,
me sipping my bourbon, and Kylie grinning politely at the crowd, the silence
between us grows. I feel like we have nothing in common, and I'm at a loss,
trying to think of something to say, anything that will keep this beauty in my
presence. There are so many things I want to know about her, but none of them
are any of my goddamn business. How she tastes, what noises she makes when she
comes. I also want to know how she ended up a single mother, and if Max's dad
is still in the picture. I tried asking Colton about it once, but he remained
incredibly vague. The asshat. If there was a worst wingman award, it would go
to my brother.
"Have dinner
with me this week," I say. It wasn't what I'd been planning to say, but
once the words leave my mouth, they feel right.
"Pace, that's
sweet of you to ask, but I can't…" She pauses, like she wants to say more,
but doesn't. Her body language is all wrong too. Where women are normally vying
to get closer, placing their hand on my bicep, or even brushing their breasts
against my arm, Kylie stands straight and tall, like she wants to avoid
physical contact at all costs.
"Are you here
with someone?" I ask. It's also absolutely none of my business, but I'd
happily shell out ten grand just to find out if she's fucking someone.
"No," she
confirms.
"No
boyfriend?" I press further. I need to know what I'm up against.
"There's been
no one since Max's father," she says quietly.
My inner alpha male
beats on his chest in triumph. "That's quite a dry spell."
"Indeed,"
she murmurs.
"It's just
dinner, Kylie. It's not like I'm offering to step in and play daddy." I
treat her to a playful, crooked smile, my dimple out in full force. I've heard
it's quite irresistible and that's what I'm banking on.
"That's exactly
why I can't. I'm sorry."
Fuck. Why am I such
a fucking idiot?
"Oh," I
stammer, at a loss for words for the first damn time in my life. Christ. Grow a
pair, Pace.
"Besides,
something tells me if you're interested in a woman like that," Kylie tips
her chin toward the bar where Sheena, or Trina, is making a spectacle of
herself, "you can't possibly be interested in a woman like me."
Hold the fuck on.
Now that's where she's wrong. "Why's that?" I ask, meeting her fiery
green gaze. If she's about to criticize herself, I will not hold back in
proving to her how very wrong she is.
"Pace,"
she admonishes. "Look at her. They look…inflatable."
When I realize she's
not tearing herself down, but instead chastising my taste in women, I almost
want to laugh. "A woman like that is good for only one thing and we both
know it," I say.
She raises her
eyebrows, waiting for me to explain.
"One good
fuck," I continue.
"You're
crass." Her eyes light up, and her mouth twitches in an attempt not to
smile.
"I'm direct,
and you like it."
She shrugs. "At
least you're honest. That's more than I can say for most men."
"Go out with
me. One time, Kylie. What do you have to lose?"
I can practically
see the wheels turning in her head, and for one brief, beautiful moment I think
I might have a chance. "Bye Pace." She turns and walks away, her long
legs carrying her across the room while my heart throbs.
Fuck.
"Kylie,
wait."
She turns and tosses
me a sexy wink. "Go have fun with Malibu Barbie."
This is not over.
I play to win.

Meet Colton Drake...
I have no idea why she auctioned off her virginity for a cool mill. Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me.
