Surrender: Book One, A Billionaire Vacation Romance
Dr. Nicole was supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead, she’s trapped on a luxury ship with a billionaire who demands her total surrender.
Dr. Nicole’s life imploded at the altar. After catching her fiancé cheating with her maid of honor on their wedding day, she desperately needs an escape. Her plan is take her prepaid, five-star honeymoon cruise alone, hide in her cabin, and nurse her shattered pride.
Then she collides with Riley Kingley.
He isn't just a first-class passenger. He is the extravagantly wealthy billionaire who owns the entire cruise line. He is commanding, fiercely protective, and used to getting exactly what he wants. And from the moment his dark gaze locks onto hers, Nicole's isolation is over.
Sensing her broken trust, Riley decides to rebuild it—his way. He introduces Nicole to a world of dark, demanding pleasure. Whispered commands in crowded ballrooms. Hidden secrets beneath designer gowns. He pushes her boundaries, demanding absolute obedience behind closed doors and awakening a desperate craving she never knew she possessed.
But surrendering her body is easier than risking her heart.
As their high-heat shipboard romance intensifies, the real world threatens to tear them apart. A vicious, jealous ex-pop star is scheming to reclaim Riley, and the massive wealth gap between an indebted doctor and a global mogul looms large.
When the ship docks and the fantasy ends, Nicole must make a choice. Was this just a steamy vacation fling to heal a broken heart? Or is she brave enough to surrender to a man who wants to own her forever?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book part one of the surrender series by Lucia Jordon.
Nicole finds her fiancé having sex with her maid of honour in the church they are about to get married in. Afterwards she breaks up with her fiancé and is taking the honeymoon cruise trip on her own.
She meets Riley while waiting to board and they are instantly attracted to each other. Riley invites Nicole to dinner but before they can get there Riley tests how submissive Nicole is. Very sexy scene before dinner and really like the relationship so far and Riley sends Nicole a very sexy gift also to test her willingness to explore BDSM but the abruptly ends. This book is only 36 pages but I really dislike books in parts this is the only reason it's 4 stars not 5.
Free on Amazon will look at the next book and see if it's reasonable price.
Ps the full collection is £1.99 and only 83 pages long. Considering at this point I've already read first 36 pages of it it's a bit much personally.

This is the first 36 pages of the whole book. You can skip this sample and jump right into the main book and not have to flip through till you get 36 pages in. It's not a bad story, but I'm not sure I'm going to continue with it at this point as I have several other books that have piqued my interest also. If you're into submissive and spice right out of the gate, this story will definitely work for you.

Very hot beginning. I'm looking forward to read more about Rileys and Niicoles relationship. Jules sounds like she needs to be pushed overboard.

Nicole got dumped literally at the alter when her fiancee was caught having sex with her best friend behind the alter at the church. Instead of cancelling the honeymoon cruise she goes anyway and meets the handsome Riley, and that's where it heats up. Very sexy short story, but leaves you hanging and wanting much more of it!
18+ due to sexual situations.

I loved this first book in this series. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Riley is a total alpha/Dom. Can't wait to see what Nicole decides to do with his instructions.
