Exposed Desire

**2024 National Indie Excellence Award Finalist - Romance**

Kipling and Alyssa join together to fight for the future one man is determined they won't live to see...

Kipling Benedict has no plans to fall in love. As the oldest Benedict brother he has dedicated his life to running Benedict Industries. Love is for his younger brothers, not for him. Or at least that's what he keeps telling himself. But after months of verbal sparring with Charleston police officer, Alyssa Adams, he finds it harder and harder to believe that particular lie.

Alyssa Adams doesn't have room in her life for a man, especially one as conceited and self-serving as Kipling Benedict. But when her investigation into Benedict Industries uncovers a connection to the long ago unsolved murder of her sister, Alyssa finds herself needing Kipling's help. As they grow closer, she starts to see the real man under the facade Kipling shows the world.

However, instead of finding answers, Kipling and Alyssa only create more questions. Working together has made them certain of two things, one, they can no longer ignore the chemistry between them, and two, someone wants them dead.

With all the long buried secrets finally brought to light, Kipling and Alyssa prepare to fight the ultimate evil. But even if they succeed, they aren't sure the Benedict family can survive.

Success. Wealth. Power.
Franklin Benedict left his three sons a legacy and an empire, and the brothers are now at the helm of one the most powerful shipping corporations in the world. Though they were raised as southern gentlemen, they have no problem living up to the playboy label they've been given.
Secrets. Lies. Betrayal.
But their father left behind something else. Something he thought long buried in the dark corners and the ever churning tide of the Charleston low country. And that something has the potential to tear apart the brothers and the women they've come to love, if it doesn't destroy them all first.

Originally published as The Sons of Broad Series, all books have been rewritten and reedited. Each book tells the story of one brother. They can be read as standalones (with HEA) but the overall mystery won't be solved until Book 3.

Book Three: EXPOSED DESIRE (Originally titled BROKEN PROMISE)
