Play With Me by Alisha Rai

You're going to play for a whole night.

... or just for show?

Despite the fact that Tatiana Belikov has gotten older and learned how to be more careful with her impulses, wickedness is still her best friend. When her family problems bring her to Las Vegas and she meets the man who knows all of her darkest desires, it's pointless to try to fight temptation. In the middle of the night, there will be no rules. Jackpot.

Wyatt Caine used to be a billionaire, but now he has a lot more money than he used to. He can give Tatiana more than just his heart. King of vice: He now has that title. He always gets his way. It's even worse when all he wants is her, all grown up and ready to play any dirty game he can think of.

Betrayal by Aleatha Romig

One week, then. There is no more. There is no history. Only once more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree. There will be no ghosts of the past or pressures of the future to keep her from having fun. "Charli" is a new name for her. She gets knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she's never had before! The decision that she made in the dark of night comes back to haunt her when she wakes up in the morning.

Some of my tastes are different. They aren't for everyone, though. :)

Lennox is called "Nox." There are many things that make Demetri happy. He is rich, confident and decisive, which means he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at a very expensive resort, he knows he wants to get married to her. One thing they agree on is that he should make the rules.

One week, then. Only once more.

Betrayal comes from people who are close to Alexandria. She has to figure out what kind of lengths she is willing to go to stay alive. It isn't always easy to make decisions that affect your heart, body, and soul, though. When it comes to sex, it's business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

When you do something to yourself, is it really cheating?
