One night. No names. No faces. It should have been simple. I’ve never been reckless with my heart until I meet a handsome stranger at a secret masquerade ball. From the glint of his dark eyes, he knows I don’t have an invitation. I’m not rich or a celebrity. I’m just the personal assistant of someone important. Instead of showing me the door, he escorts me through the gardens and into a world of … through the gardens and into a world of decadence, sin, and forbidden pleasures.
From the moment we meet, I can’t stop thinking about him. The way his hands feel on my hips. The press of his hard chest against mine. Everything about this night is a sham except for the way he owns my body. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to my normal life and forget this ever happened. Tonight, I’m going to live it up.
Except…this isn’t the ending. It’s just the beginning. A few months later, my new boss is the billionaire exiled prince from the masquerade, and I’m in serious trouble.
Cinderella meets Fifty Shades in this dark, royalty romance.

Very intriguing start of the trilogy
I simply couldn’t put this book down. It has all I love in a good romantic suspense. Mystery, angst, tension with a great build up. All the right emotions including lust, jealousy, special connection between main characters and evil powers that are trying to keep them apart. All the mystery, unsaid truths, secrets add something special to the plot which is very well thought through. I loved all the characters from the book even the secondary ones. Very well written and developed. Now I just can’t wait to find out what will happen next and how their decisions will impact the people around them and themselves. Great, captivating story.
Lots of love, lots of heat, lots of intrigue!
Rourke meets her Prince of Secrets at a masquerade ball and lets go of her inhibitions for one glorious night. Months later, she gets her dream job as the personal assistant to a man so unlike her Prince Charming that it’s all she can do not to just walk out.
How Rourke and Roman learn to work together as they uncover each other’s secrets makes this a fascinating love story that will hit you square in the heart. I loved the way the characters were developed, and while there was plenty of steamy action the emphasis on their emotional connection really elevates the story.
The writing was sharp and captivating throughout. I appreciated that even though this is book 1 of a trilogy, we get a HFN that doesn’t require the remaining books to feel complete.
I really liked this! It was a fun story and I loved their antics. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A great first read for me by Jeana Mann. Rourke meets Roman after being dragged to a masquerade ball by her best friend. All guests are required to wear masks so identities are secret. After they spend an incredibly erotic night together at the ball, they part ways. Now months later Rourke is looking for a job and Roman still can’t get the mysterious woman out of his head. Imagine his surprise when he meets his new personal assistant! Cannot wait for book 2.
The storyline had me turning pages in anticipation to where it would lead intrigued with the characters. An exhilarating, refreshing, spin you can not get enough of.
Rourke crashes a masquerade ball using her cousin’s invitation where she meets Roman, a Prince. This modern day twist on Cinderella is a steamy romance and my first book by this author. Loved the sexual tension and chemistry between Rourke and Roman and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series to find out what happens next for these two.
This was a stunning story. It was intensely entertaining and full of passion and intrigue. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
This is a fairly quick read. It has romance, steam, fear, intrigue and humor between the characters that all go to make this an enjoyable read. It’s Part 1 of a trilogy but it is a stand alone novel in its own right, I’m sure reading the rest of the trilogy would be just as great as reading this one.

Will the secrecy of their meeting keep the allure of their fantasy going?
This is my 1st book by the author and will definitely look for another as I love an author who writes in dual point of view. This is a Cinderella-like story but instead of a glass slipper, it is a tube of lipstick. Rourke crashes the masquerade with her girlfriend and unknowingly meets Roman, the host. They have a quick tryst in his castle playground until Rourke has to leave, never knowing each other’s identities. With her girlfriend married, Rourke looks for a new job and lands as the personal assistant to Roman. Neither know the other is whom they had a tryst with at the start. Add in Rourke’s aunt mishaps in a nursing home, Roman’s ex-wife hiding their daughter and it all makes for many plot twist in the story. What happens when each discover the other’s identity? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down.
ONE FANTASTIC READ!!!
Oh my, talk about hot and heavy. This is one exciting, intriguing, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page turning wonder that’s as riveting as it is captivating. All the drama, heartache, fear, uncertainty and intrigue increases while tension spirals. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few glitches and bumps make for one thrilling experience. The two main characters are complex and believable with such depth and individuality that really lights up as sparks fly. The scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little jewel together beautifully. Jeana did an amazing job bringing this read to life. Awesome job Jeana, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
I initially thought that I knew what this book would be about, boy was I wrong. I could not have enjoyed it more. The characters were well developed and interesting. The story line was great and had some interesting twists. I enjoyed everything about this book.

This book tastes like more .. I can not wait for the next part. A hot encounter tastes like more .. but they know nothing about each other. When they see each other the first time, they do not know that it is the one that they long for. But it tastes like more because not everything is as it seems. The characters are made for each other. The delicious chemistry and drama with each other are well described. From me 5 stars.

The Exiled Prince
Great characters and interesting story that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride
For seventeen of her twenty-six years, Everly had been Rourke’s best friend. She was also the daughter of the former Vice President of the United States, her boss. They’d attended the same private schools, their lives weaving parallel lines until her parents died and her life changed forever. As Everly’s personal assistant, Rourke organized the chaos in her life, attended social functions, and kept her company during her travels. This particular night, her duties included crashing London’s most exclusive masquerade ball. Everly had received an invitation, she had not. So the plan was for Rourke to use her cousin Beverly’s invitation since she would not be attending. Instead of a bachelorette party for Everly’s last night of being single, she wanted to attend the ball and she wanted Rourke to go with her in the hopes that Rourke would meet Roman Menshikov, the dark-haired enigmatic Russian prince that was to be in attendance.
Every Spring Roman Menshikov hosted the event of the year, not for himself but for the amusement of his friends. He’d grown bored with the whole thing years ago and only personally saw to the hand selected invitation list. So when he saw the blonde come into the party, he had no idea who she was and really wasn’t interested once he watched her and deemed her not a reporter. Until he noticed Nikolay showing a proprietary interest in her. The two had been in competition for years; the best business deals, the fastest cars, the prettiest girls. They had similar tastes in woman and it was the last one that caused the most strife. They both liked voluptuous blondes, and as fate would have it, his ex-fiancée had been both. Tales of intrigue and revenge peppered Roman’s family history and Nikolay had done him wrong. This was his chance to even the score. Yes, yes, it was petty, but Roman was rich and he was bored.
Just wow!! Wouldn’t it be lovely to wind up going to a ball, find a hot handsome man who you were not only intrigued by but attracted to as well and then be able to have uninhibited sex with no repercussion or backlash because it was anonymous? Yeah, you’ve got to read this book. This plot takes a few twists and turns and will make that line form between your brow a few time, but the sexual chemistry between Roman and Rourke is what will keep you tingling throughout the book. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
