Hugo
I’ve never claimed to be a righteous man. It’s not part of my DNA.
My ruthless father lived his life always wanting more, more, more, and he raised me to follow in his footsteps.
Why be satisfied with what you have when you can have more?
My greed has served me well. It’s driven my ambitions and helped me turn my father’s small kingdom into a global empire. At forty-three, I’m at the top of my game, the king of Wall Street---a corporate raider who takes what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants it.
But the more you have, the more you want, and the vicious cycle never ends.
When my greatest nemesis comes knocking, my mother makes an arrangement to keep him at bay.
But I should have known better.
How could I have known the girl of my dreams was just around the corner?
Amelia Sinclair is a nobody---a girl on the train who won’t stop singing a song out of tune.
I’m immediately intrigued. Then utterly fixated.
She’s the wrong girl at the wrong time. Amelia has no place in my tidy little world, but I already know she’ll rule it.
Amelia
Hugo Chamberlain can eat dirt. He thinks we’re an accident of fate, two strangers on a train with enough spark to light up the New York skyline.
He doesn’t know I’m plotting against him.
He and the sperm donor who calls himself my father are conspiring to take what rightfully belongs to my mother---the first wife he discarded. I’ll play the game, bat my lashes, and wiggle my behind if it helps me bust up the travesty they call an engagement.
He may think he’s God’s gift to women---with those eyes, that hair and goddamn, that body---but I see him for the greedy monster he is.
And there’s no way I’m falling in love with Hugo Chamberlain.
Virtue—sincere, wholesome living as the remedy and atonement for sin.

Fourteen of your favorite romance authors have come together to treat you to a steamy selection of carnal temptations. Whether you’re steeped in sin or pervaded in purity… this October, fall victim to the Vices & Virtues.
