When a case at ALFA Private Investigation takes a dark turn, James is forced to get Izzy involved in an undercover sting, and the assignment will test her sexual boundaries as well as the very foundation of their relationship.

Can Izzy hold her tongue long enough to keep them both safe? Or will her unwillingness to fully submit draw the eye of the very man they’re after?

“Izzy, please. Be reasonable.”

I loved when James begged. “Say it again,” I taunted him.

What the fuck with the be reasonable comment? I’m always reasonable. Okay, maybe that isn’t entirely true. I usually shoot from the hip and save the apologies for later. My big mouth has gotten me into more trouble over the years, and much of it I try to forget, especially when it comes to James.

He arched an eyebrow, and the same shitty smirk that I’d grown accustomed to flashed across his lips. “I could make you say yes.”

“Doubtful.” I glared at him, feeling supercocky even though I was in no position to be.

James, my loving husband of over ten years, decided that tonight was a good time to tie me to the bed. I should’ve known he was up to no good because it’d been more than a little bit since he’d used restraints during sex. I figured we were just getting our kink on and that he wanted to try something new, but nope, the bastard knew I wouldn’t like what he was asking and made sure I didn’t have an out.

“Baby,” he whispered, running his thumbs across my bottom lip and trying to seduce me. “You know you can’t say no to me. Never have and never will.”

There were very few people in this world that could make me do anything, but James had a power over me since the first night I met him. Saying no to him had always been damn near impossible, and I almost hated myself because of it.

I never wanted to be that girl—the one who caved to anything her husband asked. Never in my life had I wanted to be her, an easy mark and a carpet for her husband to walk all over, but things don’t always turn out the way we plan. I learned that the hard way.

James wasn’t even on my radar until the night of Joe and Suzy’s wedding when he sauntered in with his good looks and charm. The arrogant bastard seemed to work me like he’d known me my entire life, and I fell for it.

I thought I’d won when I snuck out. I figured I’d never see him again, so what did it matter. Boy, was I wrong.

“I’ve said no to you plenty of times.” I refused to let him use his sexual prowess, which I’d done in the past, but sometimes I had to dig my heels in and find my inner bitch.

I pulled at the restraints and tried to break free, but it was useless. The man could tie the most wicked knots, and it had been years since I’d been able to wiggle out of them. Every time I escaped, he’d learn a new technique until he found just the right one to render me helpless.

His lips scorched a path down my neck, and my back arched as if begging for his touch. “Say yes, Izzy.”

I stifled the moan that formed low in my throat, but I squeaked instead when he sucked my nipple into his mouth. My body rocked on its own, moving toward him instinctively, wanting the bite of his teeth. His hand slid down my front, cupping my pussy, not hard enough to give me pleasure, only the sweet torment that he reveled in.

“Say yes, and I’ll give you what you want.”

He was playing with me. James was a master manipulator. I didn’t know if it was his background with the DEA or just something he was born with, but he used it perfectly when it suited his purpose.

I clenched my jaw, grinding my teeth together. “No.”

He pulled my panties to the side before dipping two fingers inside me with the most sinful smile. “Last chance, baby,” he warned.

What was he going to do to me if I didn’t give in? The thought passed through my mind, but I pushed it away. I was lost in the feel of his hands on my skin and the ache between my legs, but my resistance held. “No,” I bit out.

LORD OF CHANCE by Erica Ridley



Title:  LORD OF CHANCE
Series:  Rogues to Riches #1
Author:  Erica Ridley
Publish Date:   04.11.2017
Publisher:  WebMotion
Category /Genre:  Historical Romance,
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing:  A – near perfect
Received from:  Erica Ridley, through NetGalley
Date completed: 03.26.2017
Goodreads link:  Lord of Chance

Description from the publisher:
Disguised as a country miss, Charlotte Devon flees London, desperate to leave her tattered reputation behind. In Scotland, her estranged father’s noble blood will finally make her a respectable debutante. Except she finds herself accidentally wed to a devil-may-care rogue with a sinful smile. He’s the last thing she needs…and everything her traitorous heart desires.

Charming rake Anthony Fairfax is on holiday to seek his fortune…and escape his creditors. When an irresistible Lady Luck wins him in a game of chance—and a slight mishap has them leg-shackled by dawn—the tables have finally turned in his favor. But when past demons catch up to them, holding on to new love will mean destroying their dreams forever.


The single title 2017 release is an expanded "Author Edition" of the story that first appeared in the Scandal's Daughters anthology.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Erica Ridley’s newest project, the Rogues to Riches series, has a Cinderella theme.  LORD OF CHANCE is the first of six books planned for release.

Absolutely brilliant!  Both Charlotte and Anthony hold the keys to be the prince – providing all that is needed to make the other’s dreams come true – and each is Cinderella in their own mind.  Aren’t we all? 

Each are living lives a hair-breadth away from scandal.  Well, actually, each has practically been born into scandal, but each is determined to make the world their own and rise above.  They just need the right bit of luck. 

Ms. Ridley provides the luck – good and bad – and sends us all on the roller coaster of chasing chance along with Anthony and Charlotte.  Now add in, we are treated to a bit of a peek back to our friends from the Dukes of War series, and this new series is a no-brainer for me.  I am already deeply captivated and anxiously awaiting the next episode when we will all fall in love with Lord Wainwright, an infamous rake who is about to learn the art of love is more than the art of love-making.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, through NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
