This was a great three in one book. Included in this book are three stories.
1)Beguiled (I give it 4 stars)
2) Wanton (I give it 3 stars perhaps 3.5)
3) Uncovered (I give it a 2.5 stars)

1) Beguiled: Dane Carter is an identical twin and comes from a wealthy family. His family wanted him to run the family business and become CEO, but he gave that up and let his twin, Derek, run it instead so he could start a new business working as a P.I. Suddenly his brother dies and he's left running both business's. He morns for his twin, but suddenly things become worse when he suspects his brother was murdered. To make matters worse a woman suddenly calls out of the blue and asks to meet with his now dead brother. He assumes his brother's identity in order to catch the killer, but what he finds is Angel, a woman, who his brother slept with once in order to get sensitive information and take over her bosses business. It only took Angel one night with Derek to become pregnant. You'd think that was the worse part, except someone is stalking her and has been for over a year. Dane gets close to Angel and begins to fall in love with her and can't understand why his brother pushed her away. Things become clear as their relationship deepens. The only problem is their relationship is based on a lie. He's not Derek.

2) Wanton: The saga continues with Dane's sister, Celia Carter, and Dane's right hand man and P.I., Alec Sharpe. Celia feels she has some making up to do and what better way then helping those in need. A case helps her do just that, except Alec feels the case is too dangerous. With Dane and Angel going away on vacation the decision goes to Alec. He's quick to tell Alice she can't take the case, what he didn't count on was her determination. Against orders she takes the case and Alec is forced to back her up. Soon the two learn theirs more at stake then what they first believed. Feelings come to the front and the case becomes more then what Celia bargained for. It's a good thing Alec is as dangerous as he appears when it comes to Celia. After everything said and done can their attraction last, can Alec give her what she needs, can they even survive the case. This story was a quick read, but don't let that fool you. This story had it all, intrigue, passion, sex, fighting moments, quick wit and more.

3)Uncovered: A continuation to the series. This book adds two new characters. Clair the assistant and secretary for Dane and Alec. She's the whole package, it's just unfortunate that the man she wants see's her as nothing more than a pal. Harris Black is everything Clair's ever wanted. He's a hero who fights fires, he's reliable, dedicated, gorgeous, sexy, funny, and a bona fide hero. You'd think things couldn't get worse, except they do. A warehouse fire brings Harris to a dumpster that contains a box of photographs a nude woman. The photos are tasteful and never reveal the woman's face. Inside are letters describing him and how in love the woman is with him. It even mentions his name. He's determined to find this beautiful woman. He even goes as far as to hire Clair's boss. Unfortunately for her Harris doesn't realize the photos are of her, even Dane and Alec never suspect it's her. They go as far as to blow up the pictures to poster size and use magnifying lens in the attempt to find something tangible to identify her. Could things get worse. This story was beautifully writing, with moments that made me laugh, hot moments that made me fan myself and a few moments that just made me want to keep reading. I read this book in two days and I can definitely say it was worth every minute.
