Secretly His: A Spicy Billionaire Sports Romance
Originally published under the title His for Tonight Book 1
I’m not the kind of girl who sells herself to a stranger.
At least, I wasn’t—until my sister’s medical bills threatened to destroy everything my family has left.
So I signed a contract. One hundred thousand dollars. One anonymous night. No names, no strings, no complications.
The mysterious man I’m matched with calls himself Mr. West. He’s European, arrogant and so gorgeous it hurts to look at him. He demands complete control…and for one night, I agree to give it to him.
Blindfolded. Bound. Surrendered.
I tell myself it’s just a business transaction. I tell myself I won’t feel any emotions.
I’ve never been more wrong.
He awakens longings in me I’ve buried my whole life—dark, desperate cravings I didn’t even know existed. By morning, I’m shattered in the best way possible. When he vanishes without a word, I try to convince myself I can forget him.
Then a white envelope arrives with three words in his bold handwriting.
I want more.

"Just one night"
This was such a fun, spicy little intro to this duet. Giving major Pretty Woman vibes with a “just one night” setup that obviously gets way more complicated once the chemistry kicks in.
The sub/dom dynamics were hot, the Italian soccer player MMC was ridiculously swoony, and I loved that the FMC balanced smart and sexy while still having this softer innocence to her.
Short, fast-paced, and very addictive - definitely the kind of novella that leaves you immediately reaching for book two.
