Sweet Addictions

Penelope Channing's life is upended when she learns of her Gran's diagnosis. Nursing school can wait—what can't wait is figuring out how to pay for Gran's treatments. When an old high school friend offers her a job with good money, she jumps at the opportunity, no questions asked.

Jager Conri is a man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to take it. He's built his life on high-stakes decisions and ruthless actions, one of which involves a failing nightclub he's about to shut down. That is, until Penelope walks in. With her crimson hair and striking presence, she's a showstopper onstage and the last thing Jager expected. Offstage, she's quiet and reserved, but once the stage lights shine and the sensual, pumping music blares, the ruby-haired vixen becomes a mesmerizing force Jager can't ignore.

Jager may be a man no one dares to cross, but as he gets entangled with Penelope, it becomes clear that the real threat isn't him. The club owners, already in deep trouble, have much more to worry about than their cutthroat investor.
