J. Critch - Sins Of The Flesh

When it comes to sexual politics

They’re playing dirty!

The mayorship of Las Vegas is down to two candidates—and Jessica Morgan is ready for a fight. Golden boy Rafael Martinez is a successful businessman...and a wickedly sexy egomaniac. He might be her opponent, but there’s something irresistibly hot between them! All it takes is one little leaked sex tape to turn this election into a Sin City sensation...

“DARE is Harlequin’s hottest line yet. Every book should come with a free fan. I dare you to try them!”

—Tiffany Reisz, international bestselling author

For Michelle. You’ve been a constant source of knowledge and support, and I’m so proud to call you my mentor and friend.

This one is for every woman reading this who has ever been told to sit down, relax, be quiet, let the men handle it. It’s for every woman breaking down walls, smashing glass ceilings, fighting for her rights in an unfair system.

We’ve come a long way, baby. But we aren’t done yet.

Resist, persist, exist.

We’ll change the world.
