Clubs: Aces Underground Three
The deeper they dig, the darker the rabbit hole becomes.
Renowned surgeon Harrison O’Rourke is starting to panic. His two friends said they were going on a trip, but a month has passed with no word and no trace of them anywhere. When the trail leads him to Chicago’s shadowy Aces Underground, Harrison forces his way inside, determined to look for clues.
Bianca Montrose once chased Broadway dreams, but New York chewed her up and spit her out. Now she sings in the smoky corners of her sister’s exclusive underground club, a place built on secrets and silence. When handsome Harrison O’Rourke slips inside looking for answers, Bianca smuggles him in…and one charged moment between them sparks a chemistry neither can ignore.
Their attraction is instant. Their connection is dangerous.
And the club is watching.
As Harrison and Bianca begin peeling back the layers of Aces Underground, they uncover whispers, lies, and a network of power that doesn’t tolerate curiosity. Every step pulls them toward the truth as secrets sharpen, danger rises, and the fire between them blazes hotter.
Together, they might expose Aces Underground…or be swallowed by it.

This is the 3rd book on the ACES UNDERGROUND series and it was so good. It introduced Harrison who is looking into the disappearance of his best friend Maddox and girlfriend Alissa who is also a nurse at Harrison’s hospital. Harrison visits Aces one night and meets Bianca Montrose, sister of club owner Rouge Montrose and immediately they connect. Harrison and Bianca work together to find out what her sister is doing and in doing so they form a deep sexual intimate bond that is off the charts. What can Harrison and Bianca uncover? Of course it ends with a cliffhanger, which means the story continues with Hearts. I can’t wait!

What a great addition to the Aces Underground series. As the story unfolds, we go farther down the rabbit hole! Helen has created an intriguing world in these books. Our first couple, Maddox and Alyssa have been missing for a month without any communication. Maddox's best friend, Harrison O'Rouke goes to Aces to see what he can find out about his friend, and meets Bianca Montrose, the sister of the owner of Aces. There is instant mutual attraction! Together they begin an investigation of all the clubs owned by Rouge Montrose. The more they dig, the uglier it gets. There are twists and turns, surprises, and some spicy romance. I cannot wait to find out how this magnificent series ends.

WOW so this has been a crazy ride. Maddox and Alissa are barely alive and Harrison and Bianca quite possibly have bitten off more than they can chew! I can't wait to find out exactly what Rouge is up to.
