EIGHTY-ONE NIGHTS: Book 1 in THE BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS DUET Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman. Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance? It's not. This story begins with a contract. And an exchange of money. A lot of money. An angel perches nervously on one shoulder. A devil lounges smugly on my other. And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I'm doing. Maxwell Hutcheson wants the girlfriend experience. All of it. And I'm going to give it to him. I'm not supposed to enjoy being his whore. I'm also not supposed to fall in love with him. But I do. Both. When our contract expires, I will walk away. Because I have to. But he'll always have a piece of me. I'll mask my sorrow with a smile. I'll hide my love with indifference ... all while it's killing me softly. A fairy-tale romance. It isn't mine to have. And this man I've come to love so dearly isn't my happily ever after.

BEAUTIFUL EVER AFTER: Book 2 in THE BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS DUET Everything in my life has changed. This woman, my paid companion, has turned my world upside down ... while making it right for the first time ever. We were brought together by need. Hers was money. Mine was companionship. And sex. Caitriona Louden gave me the girlfriend experience. All of it. And now she's gone. I'm not supposed to miss her. I'm not supposed to love her. But I do. Both. Our contract expired, and she walked away. Now my world is falling apart without her in it. Because she is my everything. A fairy-tale romance. It's ours to have. And this woman I've come to love so dearly is my beautiful ever after.

This bundle contains both books in THE BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS DUET. This is the complete story. No additional books to be purchased. ABOUT EIGHTY-ONE NIGHTS and BEAUTIFUL EVER AFTER: While the characters are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou's story. Let's call it a "story fusion" between our old favorites and new material. Enjoy!
