In Laura Marie Altom's scorching new Shamed novel, perfect for fans of J. Kenner and Tracy Wolff, a broken heart pushes a rugged loner to the breaking point—until a not-so-innocent affair changes everything.
When the woman he loves marries billionaire Liam Stone, Nathan Black swears off dating and playing by the rules. He's also tired of being broke. His new gig as a male escort isn't exactly legal, but the cash will help him build a solid future. Then there's Carol Moore, Liam's personal assistant. She and Nathan always seem to get paired up at Stone family functions—and always seem to end up in bed together. She's definitely intriguing. But how could a good girl like Carol settle down with a screw-up like Nathan?
After Carol's dreamy boss gets hitched, crushing any chance of them getting back together, she finds herself hooking up with the bride's best friend. Nathan is hot, adventurous, and just a little bit dangerous. But when one of their sexy games goes too far, Carol discovers how out of control Nathan's life really is. And before long Carol is forced to choose between her safe old life and the bad boy who makes her feel like the woman she's meant to be.
