About this listen
Sometimes happily ever after doesn't look like you think it should.
Includes books one to three of the Illicit Desires series, a dark romance that travels a twisted path as three people work toward an unconventional happily ever after.
Illicit Desires: Volume 1 includes:
- Emily's Secret Dom
- Mastering Emily
- Controlling Emily
Emily's Secret Dom: Sometimes temptation can be more than a person can resist.
Emily’s life is boring, and at 35, she assumes this is as good as it’s going to get. She has a decent job and a loving, if passionless, husband, but knows she should be grateful for all her blessings. Until a chance encounter in an online game introduces her to Aiden.
Aiden thrills her like no other man has before, and she doesn’t understand what is so special about him until he tempts her with an offer that she knows she should refuse.
Journey with Emily as she grapples with hidden desires she didn’t know she had and travels down a darker path than she ever thought possible.
Mastering Emily: Is the risk worth the reward?
Emily desperately wants to meet up with her dom in real life and experience everything he has to offer, but she knows she shouldn’t. This choice could shatter her marriage, and she has a good life. She has a big decision to make and Aiden isn’t making the choice any easier when he thrills her at every turn.
Emily craves the control that Aiden can provide, but is it worth risking her marriage?
Controlling Emily: Can a marriage survive a betrayal?
Can Emily and Nate's marriage be salvaged after such a betrayal? Emily must navigate the new reality, while Nate grapples with the decision he made.
But there is a third person in this triangle that they never considered. How is Aiden going to respond to the changes in all their lives?
Emily is so close to having everything she wants and she'll do anything to keep it.

Story
Broken down, and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough. Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brought me to my knees - literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do. Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough. I’m worthy of his praise. There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss - he’s twice my age. And my ex-boyfriend’s father....I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

Angel: I’m a teacher. Or rather, I want to be. Fresh out of college, I went on a date with the wrong man and ended up drugged and helpless in a really bad place. The motorcycle club I was taken to was no place for a woman, as I found out the hard way. They thought I was helpless, but I managed to get away - only to stumble onto three kids who need me as a teacher. The problem? They’re with another club. I can’t leave them until I’m convinced they're safe. Unfortunately, the club president doesn’t like me much. He’s also the hottest man I’ve ever come across.

On my 18th birthday, my father, the senator, gives me the gift he thinks every little girl dreams of. The man of my dreams, and the wedding to match. Stefan Zoric is heir to an elite worldwide modeling agency. Practically a prince. My arrangement is simple, as far as sham marriages go. I give him my virginity, behave as the perfect wife, and he'll pay for the college degree my father found irrelevant. But I don't want to be the perfect wife. I want him to want me the way I want him.

We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.

Story
“I was in a relationship with two men, and neither were giving me up.” That thought flashed through Charlotte’s brain like a bright neon light as she followed her husband out of her marriage counselor’s office. The office where she’d sat twice a week as she tried to repair the glaring problems in her marriage. The marriage that she’d fought hard to save to a man that wasn’t fighting alongside her. She’d been lied to, ignored, and used as a pawn to climb his ladder to success. Charlotte was broken, not just her marriage.

The rules are simple: unattached companionship, toe-curling sex, and a clean break whenever it ends. And either one of us can say the single word that will break it off: Snapdragon. Falling in love is a luxury people like us don’t have. He’s at the top of his field, and I’m at the top of mine. It’s only a matter of time before ambition calls and one of us walks away. But I can feel myself slipping, falling for him, every time he unchains me from my desk; every time he plots against my boss for making my life hell; with every tender touch in the dark of night.

A very steamy read. I was completely hooked to the storyline. I really liked that Nate, Emily, and Aiden all had their distinct personalities and points of view. Even if not told from whose point of view you were getting, you would have been able to tell which character's mind you were in.
I felt really badly for Nate here as you could tell just how much he loved Emily and how afraid he was that she would leave him. She's clearly not getting what she needs from Nate, but why she turned to cheating instead of just talking to him about it or trying to change things up when the guy is attentive but clearly clueless is beyond me.
I absolutely loved Aleks Esquire's narration on this audiobook! He had very clear, distinct voices for all three characters. Even Nate and Aiden's voices are very different based on the tone and depth they spoke in. I was impressed. And I can admit a big part of my decision to get the two audiobooks in this series was hearing Aleks's sexy Aiden voice. I just had to have it!
