A seemingly ordinary guidance counselor goes undercover as a high-class escort to bring down a dangerous network of ruthless and powerful men in the gripping new standalone page-turner from legendary, #1 international bestseller Fern Michaels. The season’s must-read for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, James Patterson, and Janet Evanovich.

For Melanie Drake, school guidance counselor in a small Virginia town, the day’s challenges typically involve a playground scuffle or a student skipping school.

An international group of billionaires is known to meet regularly for decadent dinners, and they always hire high-class escorts for the occasion. Only the most elegant, well-educated, and sophisticated women will do. Infiltrating those meetings could yield information vital to national security.
 
Melanie’s loyalty is indisputable. She’s willing to pose as an escort and glean every scrap of intel that she can. But these men aren’t just wealthy and powerful, they’re also exceptionally ruthless. One slip, and they won’t hesitate to eliminate Melanie, by any means necessary. . .

The Devil In Denim (New York Saints Book 1)

Strike one: Maggie Jameson’s father just sold the family baseball dynasty to a billionaire who looks like he’s more comfortable in boardrooms than dugouts.

Strike two: That billionaire? Alex Winters. Who’s waltzed into her life like he owns the place—which, technically, he now does. The New York Saints have been her entire world, and now she’s watching her legacy get traded faster than a rookie on waivers.

Strike three: And just when she thought she was out, Alex starts proving he might actually know what he’s doing. Worse? He’s charming. Dangerously charming. The kind of charming that makes her want to throw more than just fastballs in his direction.

She’s Maggie Jameson, baseball royalty. And she’s NOT going to let this smooth-talking, ridiculously attractive interloper steal home base—in baseball or in her heart.

But with the way he’s looking at her, she’s starting to think this game might have a few unexpected plays left.

Batter up.

The Devil in Denim is the first book in the New York Saints series, a steamy sports romance series. This series has billionaires, baseball, strong heroines, team drama, the occasional cute pet, and sexy times. Enjoy!
