Rian Court: Zenith, the time at which something is at its most successful or powerful. Her name should have warned me she'd be my peak, the highest point of my life. When Zenith Derosier gives a man her attention, he's already fixed on her. She has the power to elevate him beyond his wildest dreams. But she plays that role in another man's life, an associate who doesn't even acknowledge her external beauty never mind the one she holds within her. I've always been a gambling man; it goes with the territory. There is nothing that could make me fold, the stakes are raised when Zenith is added to the pot, and I get a golden opportunity. Zenith Derosier: I plan to marry young. Well, I'm young. My future husband? Not so much. He's best known for his multiple roles alongside mistress number whatever. But it works, our relationship will be open. Not in the sense of a sexual arrangement. He opens hotel room doors to invite them in, I open his wallet and live a life of luxury. Cheques and valances It all changes when his arrogant business associate pulls me into his orbit. One game of chance leads to another and the coin doesn't stop flipping until he's doing the same to me. One moment I'm content in my life, Lady of the manor with preordained rules. The next, I'm his Lady of the court without any. Book One of Atlantic Courts. All books in the series can be read as a standalone but for best experience read in order. Please check CW/TW as they each contain different levels of darkness.
