Part of Series

A Den of Sin Season 4 MMF romance novel. ___ Seventeen years ago, beautiful blueblood Emilie Beaudelaire left New Orleans carrying a dirty little secret that could have sullied her family’s pristine reputation. At thirty-three, she’s content with her quiet life on her Texas ranch and the solitude residence in the middle of nowhere brings her. When her uncle has a brush with death, she returns home, reluctantly, to lend her support…only to come face to face with the man half responsible for her leaving in the first place. It would seem the baseball team her big brother Henri sponsors has a blast from her past on its roster, and that man has never forgiven her for how she left. The Reedsville Roosters’ first baseman Leary Marshall last heard from his high school sweetheart Emilie via a stack of paperwork sent by her family’s lawyers. Running into her after so many years at her family’s hotel rips open old wounds…but reignites former passions, too. As if things aren’t complicated enough, Leary’s been in a committed relationship to his cowboy right fielder Ren Thompson for a year. He loves Ren, but Emilie’s allure as “the one who got away” is impossible to ignore. When the sometime dominatrix Emilie turns out to be a convenient teacher for Ren’s BDSM curiosity, Leary wonders if it’s possible the three of them could each have it all. They could make a perfectly balanced trio, but first, Emilie has to accept that being a Beaudelaire means scandal at every turn—and that cause of her newest one may be the perfect cure for what ails her.
