AUTHOR: Stacy Gail

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

RELEASE DATE: December 18, 2020

Baby steps…

Mads Daniels may have landed at House Of Payne, but she sure as hell doesn’t want to be there. Her tattooist father started out with Payne, and his tales of the boss stealing artists’ work freaks her out in a big way. If Payne ever attempts to steal her art, she’ll have no choice but to unveil him as a fraud. And that could bring down House of Payne itself.

Step by step…
Sage McCormick never had a stable home until he joined House of Payne. It’s such a sweet gig he’s even willing to get involved in events like its annual charity auction. Everything is just about perfect, except for the newest recruit, Mads. She refuses to fit in, and he’s determined to find out why. Getting her sexy ass involved in the auction is only the first step in getting close to her… in more ways than one.

Leap of faith
The cocky charm Sage exudes like a pheromone bowls Mads over straight into his bed. But as Sage tries to coax her into thinking of the House as her new home, she realizes she has a decision to make—listen to the poison her father spews, or put her faith in the man she loves.

***This standalone contemporary romance contains lots of cursing from both the hero and heroine, multiple sex scenes, and a protective Alpha male who will use any trick in the book to get his chosen woman out of her shell. No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed, along with a satisfying epilogue. Due to adult language and sexual content, this book is not intended for people under the age of eighteen***

4.5 Stars from Renee!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was pulled right into this story. The story flowed well and I was able to keep interested in the story. Read it in one sitting. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, steam, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first:

Styx (House of Payne #9)

Loki (House of Payne #10)

This is Mads and Sage’s story. Mads is at house of Payne but not happy about it. If things like her father told her about happen she has no problem taking it all out. Sage is super happy to be at house of Payne and willing to help out if anyone needs him. He also wants Mads in a bad way. But in the end will that be a good or a bad thing? After all she has secrets and if exposed, she might not be there anymore. For Mads it will come down to love or loyalty. She had to figure out if she can have both or let one go.

I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book and this author.

A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, STACY GAIL began writing stories in between events to pass the time. By fourteen, she told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also a published romance author, or a romance author who was also a figure skating pro. Now, with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams have come true.
