Family honor once ruined his life when he skipped out on his own wedding to the only woman he ever loved. But his parents were right. If he married her, he put her in a world of danger so he let her go.
Sienna McKenna booked a tropical vacation for herself to get away from her secretary job. She intended to read, and do nothing, until she walked into the lobby and saw the man who broke her heart, Aaden Bennett, sitting in the lobby. So when he asked her to marry him, for the second time, she has every reason to run away, but instead decides to take a second chance on Aaden.
Neither one of them expected to care or love ever again, but together both their broken hearts heal. But is it enough to truly fall in love with each other?

About the author
Victoria Pinder
207 books541 followersVictoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
Besides her full time job of teaching, in 2013 and 2014, she sold on her own sold books to three different publishers. The Zoastra Affair, Chaperoning Paris, Borrowing the Doctor, and Electing Love will be published from Soul mate Publishing. Mything the Throne will be published with Double Dragon Ebooks. Favorite Coffee, Favorite Crush will be published with Jupiter Press.
Now she is represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency and she hopes to continue selling her novels that she writes. Moving up to the next level from hard work and determination is rewarding, and partnerships bring new opportunities.
Also she’s the Vice President of Progams for the Florida Romance Writers. She’s gone to multiple conferences and intends to continue. She learns and meets so many people at conferences. Her website is here, www.victoriapinder.com, and she’ll continue to grow my web presence. She is working hard on other projects and found the time to plan her wedding this year.
Before writing, her father had taken her to many star trek conventions and on her own she grew up as the only girl in the 90s at the comic book store. Science Fiction was her first love, but contemporary romance was her second. She’s sticking with contemporaries for the near future.

5 out of 5 stars
Irresistibly Lost is the prequel to brother’s revenge written by Ms. Pinder and the first book that I have read by this author and it won’t be the last. The characters were well written. The storyline was great and this author made me feel a part of this story
Can they have a second chance or will the danger pull them apart again.
Aaden Bentley and Sienna McKenna were supposed to marry two years ago but family honor once ruined his life when he skipped out on his own wedding to the only woman he ever loved. But his parents were right. If he married her, he put her in a world of danger so he let her go.

Secretary Sienna McKenney books herself the perfect vacation but when she walks into the hotel, she sees Aaden, the man who'd broken her heart. Prince Aaden Bentley loves Sienna but left her at the alter to keep her safe when he found out someone intended to kill everyone in his family. Now Aaden needs to marry to inherit most of his father's estate and offers to pay Sienna $10 million if she'll be his wife for 6 months. Sienna still loves Aaden, who's even sexier now, and tells him “I’m only saying yes because I need to ensure my mother can retire." Will Aaden and Sienna's marriage of convenience turn into something more?

I really want to say I love this very short Prequel to a new series by Victoria Pinder but it falls a bit short for me. First, it was way too short only 3 chapters and I found Aedan's character to be unbelievable as one minute he is telling himself one thing and the next doing exactly what he said he would not do. It all happened too quickly for me.
But it is full of intriguing mystery's that will hopefully lead us to some great books to come. What would you do if you came face to face with the man that left you standing at the alter some 2 years ago? Well, this is what Sienna is faced with at the start of her spring break holiday.

This was a novelette that I grabbed to read based on a trope prompt for a Marriage of Convenience. This short read fit a lot in it - a bit too much in my opinion. If this was a full novel, or even a novella, things could have gone better. Because there was so much packed in, I felt like the characters had to change their minds and then move to the next thing every couple paragraphs. The whole premise of the plot was great, but the execution of such a developed plot in so few pages fell short (honestly, I think it's simply because there was too much plot for this short of a read). This was a sweet, closed door romance.

This is Sienna & Aaden story
This is a short story, a prequel to Brothers in Revenge. Sienna was taking a vacation but upon arriving at her hotel, there was Aaden, the man who disappeared the day they were supposed to get married.
Aaden explained to her that he did this to protect her. They decide to get married for six months, an arrangement proposed by Aaden. The whole thing is complicated. But I believe at will be a great series and I cannot wait to read more about those two.

The well-written and entertaining short story which is a Prequel to the series
Brothers in Revenge sucked me up until I saw the last word.
I recommend it to everyone who's looking to curl up and lose themselves
for a while.
The really great story-line contains cruel parents (can they change?), blackmailing,
crime, self-doubt, forgiveness, a tiny bit of hope and finally realizing what's important
in life -unconditionally LOVE.
I'm so looking forward to the next one in this series.
So, go ahead, grab this book and let the story give you a relaxed reading time.

He stood her up on their wedding day. Now he needs her. This is a very short intro to the series of revenge books. This doesn't give you an ending but the beginning of what will happen to family members who are in reality royalty that were overthrown in their own kingdom by ruthless men. Here is just the wedding that should have been two years ago. I will be getting the whole series to find out if they survive the coup.

Irresistibly Lost is a short read with a lot of loose ends dangling. It introduces us to Aaden and Sienna, and the threats to his family. This book is a Prequel to the series Brothers in Revenge and sets the stage for the coming books. It is well-written and opens the door to a wonderful romance full of suspense.

A Second Chance
He left her at the altar because being married to him would have put her in danger. Now he's back. Is he there to stay? He left, but their love is as strong as ever. There is danger, but you really don't get very many details about what they face. This is a very short story, and it is a prequel to a series. I look forward to reading the rest of the books.

This a great start to a new series. I enjoyed the story of Sienna McKenney and Aaden Bentley. Aaden was young adult when he made a grave error. It almost destroyed Sienna. Two years later Aaden seeks Sienna out to propose a marriage of convenience for six months. Sienna wants to hate Aaden for what he did but she finds she is still in love with him. A wonderful short story.

A quick short read!
It was well written also very short I usually read books with no less than 1,000 pages so it seems short to me but I really enjoyed this book I’m not sure that I would be as forgiving as the girl in the book i Think I would want to shoot someone that left me at the alter not get married to them.

Great novelette. Sienna is a woman in love with the man who jilted her: Aaden. A wonderful introduction to them both.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and voluntarily posted an honest review.

A pure romance with just a hint of suspense. A good well-written read, I went through it in about a half-hour. I will be reading more by Victoria Pinder, she seems to specialize in ongoing series that draw you in and make you look forward to the next book in the series.

Great reading for a sample, I imagine he full book would be well worth reading. A story of wealth and deceit all in one book. Waiting for the full book. This review is a short one as I only had the short version of this story. Norma Gorrill

The first book in the Brothers-in-Revenge series a book I enjoyed reading and one I was not putting down until I had finished. I liked the way, Aaden Bentley and Sienna McKenna's story flowed from page to page. A book I would recommend.

To secure his inheritance, Aaden must seek out and convince the woman he once walked out on to marry him before the deadline. Sierra is shocked to Aaden while on vacation, but is quickly reminded of how good they are together. Wonderful book.
September 1, 2019
I don't know if it's just because I had such a connection to a previously read book, or if I just am not in the mood for a novel such as this one- but I did not feel the pull to this novel that I normally do when I am reading a new novel. I will definitely have to try again later.
November 3, 2021
This was a great story with a second chance at love for Aaden and Sienna. My only regret was that it ended too soon. I was totally caught up in the story and was so ready to see where it went. Totally captivating!
April 27, 2018
I adored this one. It was fun to read and sucked me in from the very beginning. Well written and constructed as ever.
May 23, 2018
A lovely prequel to a romance that might be. Aaden is a deposed Sheik who has to marry to get his inheritance. Short and sweet story that leads to love. Don’t miss out once it’s released.
September 25, 2018
A delightful read, easily read in a couple hours, family friendly.

Is this just a preview?
This is more like a novella, definitely not a novel or even a full-length story. I’m confused....was this just a preview?
