Synopsis:
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan, comes the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series.
Pace Drake loves sex. He knows where get it, what to say, what to do, and he makes no apologies for satisfying his needs. But when he meets single mom, Kylie Sloan, he's enthralled by her, and begins to question his standard operating procedure. After all, there's no chase, no mystery when banging a woman in a nightclub bathroom. Kylie's depth and determination make the sloppy, drunken hookups that fill his weekends seem empty and shallow. She's the opposite of the desperate, clingy women he's used to. She doesn’t want or need anyone to take care of her and that only makes him want to care for her more.
Kylie's trust in men has vanished. The last guy she was with played ding-dong-ditch-it with her uterus and left her with a baby to raise. Now her infant son is the only man she has time for, even if she misses sex and intimacy more than she'd ever admit. Opening her heart up to a younger man who's best known for no-strings-attached sex and his casual lifestyle is probably the worst idea she's ever had. But Pace wants to prove to her there are still a few good guys left, and watching the sweet way he interacts with her baby makes her want to try…but she can really trust that his days of hitting it and quitting it are in his past?
Filthy Beautiful Lust is the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series, however it can be read as a standalone novel (no cliffhanger). To understand the full growth and development of the characters, it is recommended that you begin with book 1, Filthy Beautiful Lies.
Beautiful Lust
by Kendall Ryan
Pace
I take a
sip of the liquor and immediately decide drinking is a bad idea. I'm already on
edge and frustrated. The alcohol will only make me obsess more. Abandoning the
glass, I sit down in a leather chair across from Colton and let out a heavy
sigh. "Tell me about Kylie."
His gaze
narrows. "Fuck no. You and Kylie?" He shakes his head, rising to his
feet. "No. Abso-fucking-lutely not. If this is what you came here to talk
about, you can leave now." He points to the door, his expression unwavering.
Goddamn.
"You're no fun." Changing my mind, I stride over to the cabinet,
pluck up the glass and down the rest of the drink. It burns like a mother
fucker on the way down, but it'll do the trick, numbing whatever this weird
sensation is inside my chest.
"I'm
serious, Pace. She's a good girl. She doesn't need to get tangled up in
your…ways…"
"My
ways?" Now I'm getting pissed. He's saying I'm not good enough for her.
"Hit
it and quit it. Pump and dump. Whatever you want to call it, it's not
happening. Not with Kylie."
"I
know that, asshole. I wanted to take her out – like legitimately take her out
to dinner. Enjoy her company."
He frowns
at me again, that crease in his forehead deepening. "You're telling me you
don't want to fuck her?"
"Don't
be a dumbfuck. Of course I want to. But I'm just saying that I wouldn’t hit it
once and never call her again."
"What
would you do, then? Move in? Marry her? Raise her son?" he challenges.
"I
haven’t thought that fucking far ahead. Christ." Now I'm suddenly pacing
the floor of his office and I have no idea why. This entire exchange is
stressing me out. I came here hoping to get her number, and instead I'm getting
grilled like a steak. He's pulling the older brother card on me like he does so
often. The dick.
"And that's
exactly why I don't want you messing around with her. You don't have a plan.
Kylie needs a man with a plan. Not one with an agenda that only includes
getting his crank yanked."
I sink
down into the chair, hating this concerned older brother act.
