From USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Ash comes a single dad, age gap, dark romance ...

She’s too young. Too reckless. And now she’s my wife.

Vanessa Baker is a temptation with a body made for seduction and secrets swirling in her violet eyes.

There’s no denying that she’s a stunning woman, but she’s a wild card.

Irresistible, unpredictable, and unexpected.

Exactly the kind of trouble I’ve vowed to stay away from.

So, imagine my shock when I wake up in the Bahamas with a ring on my finger and Vanessa in my bed—with no memory of how either got there.

She swears she had no choice. That marrying me was the only way to save herself from a dangerous deal she’d never agreed to.

And now I’m torn between protecting her and resenting her … doing the right thing and wishing I’d never met her.

I don’t trust easily. Not with my heart. Not with my son. And I definitely don’t trust her.

But I bring her home anyway—because her life is at risk. And even though she doesn’t deserve my protection, she has it.

Every day she’s here, charming my son, slipping past my walls, she reminds me of what love is supposed to feel like.

So, what happens when she doesn’t need me anymore … and I still want her anyway?

Secret Seduction by Nikki Ash — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great audio listen! Lorenzo and Vanessa's forced-marriage, forced-proximity storyline pulled me in from the start — the tension between protecting her and resenting her made for such a compelling dynamic. Lorenzo is sweet underneath all that guarded exterior, and Vanessa matches him perfectly. Loved Leo too, he added so much heart to the story 🥹. A happy ending done right — highly recommend!

Nikki Ash does it again as she pulls me into the fourth book of her Tempting Love series. This is Lorenzo and Vanessa's book and it is everything I love. Single dad, romantic suspense, marriage of convenience, close proximity, it's all there for the taking and my heart was all in. Vanessa has found out she is in danger and she does what she has to do keeping her out of the clutches of her stepfather. But why? Who is behind his need for keeping her? Tricking Lorenzo into marriage was the answer, right? Maybe, he understands her situation, but there are still secrets she is keeping from him, even after finding out her reasons. She is great with his son, and there is something about her that is drawing him to her. Ash pulled me into this as the danger grows, the darkness is real and the love story is there for my heart to grab on to. This story is packed full of it all, answering questions from the first three, brings in characters I have come to know and love and gave me hours of enjoyment.

Theo Sinclair and Leanne Woodward give me all the feels with their performance. Sinclair is Lorenzo, the alpha male, the overprotective parent, the dangerous man and the man in love. He uses his voice to create a man that is truly flawed yet relatable. Woodward is Vanessa, desperate and broken, in need of love. Her voice easily flows with every emotion and she is fantastic. These two made this listen so good I couldn't stop. Give this one a listen.

All the tropes I love in one book!

Amazing narration from Leanne Woodward and Theo Sinclair


Lorenzo and Vanessa marriage doesn’t start the normal way. After both are recovering from bad experiences in love. Vanessa is needs protection against her stepfather so the best idea she has is marrying Lorenzo for protection. She is one independent, sees the silver lining and determined. While Lorenzo comes across as one big grump he is a very devoted father to his son, and very caring .
So waking up with a new bride and not knowing anything about it may not be the best way to start a marriage. When Lorenzo sees how Vanessa is with his son Leo he starts to loose his grumpy self.
Loved the characters, drama, angst, chemistry a great slow romance.

I have enjoyed all the other books in this series, so I was excited to finally dive into Lorenzo's story, and it did not disappoint. Lorenzo was burned by his former love/baby mama and he hasn't quite recovered, swearing off women for the most part and focusing on being the best dad to his son Leo. Vanessa finds herself in the trauamtic situation of knowing her stepfather is trying to hand her off to a despicable human to pay his debt. Vanessa and Lorenzo find themselves attending the same wedding, in which Vanessa comes up with a plan to help keep her safe, Vanessa and Lorenzo find themselves tied in marriage.

While Lorenzo is angry about what Vanessa has done, there is no doubt that there is still a little something between them. Add in how well Vanessa cares for Leo and Lorenzo can't help but fall for Vanessa for real.

I adored these characters. Lorenzo was the absolute best dad which is ultra swoony, and Vanessa took to being a caregiver for Leo like a natural. Their protectiveness towards each other was beautiful. The chemistry was there, and these three were the cutest little family.

Secret Seduction had it all: suspense, romance, fantastic characters, and I love this group of characters so much. The audiobook was well done and both Leanne Woodward and Theo Sinclair did a fantastic job bringing this story to life.
