Legacy of Sin

by Nikki Soarde

When Sloan Carver left home, he never intended to go back. Although he carries with him memories of a childhood rife with love and privilege, he tried to leave behind the pain of his parents' ultimate betrayal. And leave buried the one horrible secret he fears could destroy him. Now, having made a lif for himself in Hollywood writing screenplays for - and stealing jewelry from - some of the richest and most beautiful people in the world, he feels that his secrets are safe. But Sloan left more than secrets behind in Bay's Haven. He also left behind some wounded and very bewildered friends. With her mother lying on her deathbed, Sabrina Hampstead decides it's time for Sloan to come home and repay some debts. She concocts a scheme that will lure him home and hopefully bring some joy to her mother's final days. But Sloan's return sets in motion a series of events that Bree did not anticipate. Sloan isn't the only one in Bay's Haven with something to hide. There are those who see him as a threat to their carefully preserved way of life - and they'll do anything to protect their secrets.

About the author

Nikki Soarde is a widely published author of erotic romance as well as mainstream romance novels.

Raised in a "progressive conservative" Mennonite home, Nikki had many issues and obstacles to overcome when it came to views on personal sexuality. Writing erotica played a very influential role in freeing her from many of those inhibitions.

She now writes contemporary, M/M/F and romantic suspense romantica. Her novels are widely published and have been translated into several languages.

Besides writing smut, she works at a hospital laboratory part time. She has been married to the same amazing man for almost 22 years, and has three incredibly smart, funny, intelligent sons to call her own. The first one is heading off to college this fall...and she is NOT going to cry. Much.
