ERIC MITCHELL’S STORY
I’m the bastard child, son to the mistress, my father’s backup heir to the Mitchell empire. He sent me to Harvard. I left and became a Navy SEAL, but I’m back now, and I finished school on my own dime. I’m now the right hand man to Grayson Bennett, the billionaire who runs the Bennett Empire. I’m now a few months from being a billionaire myself. I don’t need my father’s company or his love. My “brother” can have it. I will never go back there. I will never be the mistake my father made, the way he was the mistake my mother made.And then she walks in the door, the princess I’d once wanted more than I’d wanted my father’s love. She wants me to come back. She says my father needs to be saved. I don’t want to save my father but I do want her. Deeply. Passionately. More than I want anything else.
But she’s The Princess and I’m The Bastard. We don’t fit. We don’t belong together and yet she says he needs me, that she needs me. We’re like sugar and spice, we don’t mix, but I really crave a taste. Just one. What harm can just one taste do?
Don’t miss the full FILTHY DUET:
THE BASTARD
THE PRINCESS (coming soon)***The Bastard was originally titled Dirty Rich Bastard, but when I decided Eric needed two books to tell his story, I wanted to make sure it was clear these two books could be read independently of the Dirty Rich series.
The second book in the Filthy Trilogy – Eric and Harper’s story continues…
He’s the bastard of the empire, a savant, a genius, and a self-made success. He left it all behind, but he came back for her.
Their passion is a flame that ignites more than their bond. It ignites secrets, lies, and a puzzle that once solved, will shake them to the core.You know one deep, dark secret, but you do not yet know anywhere near everything.
Harper and Eric are now faced with trust issues. Can they survive their enemies and find a path to love and forever?
The third and final book in the Filthy Trilogy.
Book one: The Bastard
Book Two: The Princess
I love seeing Eric open up…

Harper,
I was alone. Empty. Lost in my pain and my past. Then one night I walked into the center of a party put on by the very family that gutted me, hurt me, destroyed all that I loved, to the point that I didn’t believe I could ever love again.
You stood at the opposite side of the pool, stunning in a black dress that I will never forget. The princess of the empire that was too good for the bastard son, no matter what I’d achieved on my own, at least that’s how I felt. That’s why I walked away. Why I almost lost you. But you waited on me. You held onto me even from a distance.
And the truth is that something shifted inside me the moment our eyes met. Something changed inside me from the moment I touched you, the first taste of you lingering on my lips, eternally.
You became my life, my love, the person who made me whole again.
You are my everything.
I love you,
Eric

Awww be still my heart! This love note penned by Eric makes me swoon and I adore how this gorgeously broody, brilliant billionaire allows himself to be vulnerable around his Princess!
