She’ll do whatever it takes to protect what her family built. He’ll do whatever it takes to win her.
Pierce Real Estate was never supposed to be a battlefield.
But here I am - locked in a power struggle with my own brother for the company my mother built from nothing.
I’ve spent years proving I belong.
Years earning my place.
And I won’t lose now.
Not to my brother.
And definitely not because of Dean Carter.
Quiet. Controlled.
He's the kind of man that doesn’t waste effort on anything he doesn’t intend to win.
Including me.
Dean doesn’t hear no.
He doesn’t back down.
And the more I try to keep my distance, the closer he gets.
He’s a complication I don’t have time for.
A distraction I can’t afford.
And the only man who makes my pulse betray me every time he looks my way.
Because Dean doesn’t flirt.
He claims.
He makes it very clear he’s not interested in walking away.
I tell myself I can handle him. That I won’t let desire cloud my focus.
But Dean doesn’t want a piece of my world.
He wants all of me.
And I’m starting to realize he’ll tear down every wall I’ve built to prove it.
The Vice is a high-heat romance with a strong heroine, a relentless hero who falls first and hard, morally gray devotion, charged power dynamics, dual POV, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It’s the third book in the Carter Brothers series and is best enjoyed in order.
Tropes:
