Tainted by the Bad Boy
(2026)(The second book in the Spence's Family Billionaires series)
A novel by Kathy Asher
He's my brother's best friend. Arrogant. Infuriating. And after one night, an obsession I can't quit.
I had three rules: No clients. No criminals. And absolutely no Jonas Charlton.
But when I bailed him out at 2 AM, his smirk told me he knew exactly how to shatter every single one.
Stuck in a seedy motel during a rainstorm that one night rewired my brain.
I didn't expect the way he'd look at me in the dark. Didn't expect his hands to be gentle when the rest of him is chaos. Didn't expect to want more.
But Jonas doesn't let go of what he wants.
And apparently, he wants me.
When his past explodes into the present, I'm the only one he trusts. My brother—his best friend, my boss—can never know what we've done. But keeping secrets gets harder when one night becomes two, then three, then something that consumes us both.
He calls me his salvation. I call him my ruin.
One truth could destroy my family. One confession could end us.
But walking away from him? That might be the one thing I can't survive.
