The ninth book in the sexy International Guy Series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Audrey Carlan. Washington, DC—in the nation’s capital, power and money make the most scandalous bedfellows. I’m not a sentimental man, but even I have to admit life is starting to look suspiciously like my wildest dreams. I’ve got the woman I love in my arms and the world at my feet. So when a seemingly easy consult in DC comes up, I’m happy for an excuse to stay close to home and savor the good life. But looks can be deceiving. What seemed like an in-and-out job covers up a much darker secret that rocks the entire International Guy team to our cores. Luckily, we have the help of one of DC’s savviest political consultants to guide us. Kendra Banks is intelligent, beautiful, and a blast from Royce’s past—a past he’d much rather forget. I’ve never backed down from a fight, and I’m not about to start now—not when I finally have so much to lose. About the Series Parker Ellis, CEO of International Guy Inc., advises the wealthiest people in the world on life and love. And sometimes he can’t help it when things heat up and he ends up in bed with his clients. This International Guy knows that there’s a whole world waiting for him. But as he goes from city to city—and from woman to woman—it’s possible that he just might find his own love along the way… This is the ninth book in a twelve-novella series.
