Release Day/Excerpt: Betrayal (Infidelity #1) By Aleatha Romig

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined.  With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:  

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha'd?

BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.

I motioned around the patio. "Is this what you do? You save women from the resort leaches and lure them to your lair?"

"My lair? Am I Batman?"

"Are you? I don't know."

He smirked. "If only I could make a living at doing just that, but alas, no. You're my first rescue."

I stopped my reach for a piece of cheese and looked back up at him. "You're first?"

"My first rescue,” he clarified. “Hardly my first."

"Why?"

He lifted his glass toward me in a toast. After I lifted mine, he said, "To you, Charli with an I, and to learning more about you."

After our glasses clinked and we both took a sip, I asked the question that I'd been dying to know ever since our morning encounter. "You seem to have a clear advantage. You know my name, but I've yet to learn yours."

"Do I?"

"Do you what?"

"Do I have an advantage?” He leaned closer. “Do I know your name? You see, I had the resort's reservations scoured. I wanted to send a gift to your room and confirm our dinner, yet Charli was nowhere to be found."

I took a deep breath. "Well, I'm here with my sister. I guess my name isn't on the reservation."

"You're sister?"

"Yes, and you—if I were to have the reservations scoured?"

The sun had now fully set, falling below the water and the darkening sky was beginning to fill with stars, especially over the water. 

"Would you believe, Batman?" When I didn't respond, he said, "Bruce Wayne?"

Though I pursed my lips, I felt the twinkle in my eyes.
