About this listen
AN AMAZON TOP 25 BESTSELLER!
I was able to hide the bruises from everyone... until an MMA fighter came along. Now he'll die to protect me. Maybe even kill... He insists I stay with him for protection, but Damian is keeping his own dark secrets and warns me that anyone who gets close to him will be in danger…Worse, my assailant is determined to finish what he started.
And now, my life, along with the lives of everyone I love…… is in peril.
Can Damian and I survive and get our happily ever after?
Or will this fairy tale end in murder?
*STANDALONE, no cliffhanger

Amelie: I knew I shouldn't have asked him for a ride. My new neighbor is a study in contradictions—covered in tattoos and dripping intensity. He’s alluring yet aloof, and his every calculated move is dangerously seductive. Little did I know, he’s been systematically inserting himself into every part of my life. Creeping beneath my protective armor. Trapping me like a fly in his web before revealing his true identity.

A local ex-navy recluse, Alex is rude, obnoxious, and scorching as hell with his grumpiness and f-off attitude.

To the outside world, I'm known only as Z. The enforcer. A widower with nothing to lose. An ex-SEAL, sworn to keep one vow: Protect the D'Angelo's at all costs. I'm not a good man, and I never claimed to be. Protecting her was second nature. Nothing more. Claiming her was just a one-night escape. But she made one mistake....A cardinal sin. Slipping away on her terms. Not mine. No strings. No commitments. No names? No way. There's just one price for my protection. And it's her. Full steam ahead.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

He's grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life. Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones, haunt my dreams.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

He’s a ruthless stranger. One I can’t see, only feel, thanks to my friends who make a deal with him on my behalf. No names. No personal details. No face to etch into my mind. Just him, me, and an expensive silk tie. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. He warns me he’s full of danger. I never see that side of him. All I experience is his Russian accent, delicious scent, and touch that lights me on fire. One incredible night turns into two. Then we go our separate ways. But fate doesn't keep us apart.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

I was loved by two men—one was my husband and the other was his best friend. I was only in love with one. Then he forgot I existed. Hudson Mackay was the only man I ever wanted. The man I married. The man who promised to love me "'til death do us part." I never thought I'd get the chance to see him again, to ask how he could betray me. Until one day, I discover he's alive. Except, he has no idea who I am. I never truly knew my husband. And now, he doesn't know me.

I know better than to get involved with celebrities. Especially a Rock God like Sebastian Kane. A man who knows how to make the ladies scream, as evidenced by the leak of his recent sex tape. Which leads to my problem . . . I'm the girl in the video with him. Grief will make you do crazy things. After all, I'm the smart girl, the good girl, not the rebel. But now I'm face to face with the one man I was never supposed to see again. A man with a gorgeous dark smile and even darker secrets.

At eight, he gave me roses. At fifteen, he gave me butterflies, and at seventeen, he gave me sanctuary. I wasn't a damsel in distress. He wasn't Prince Charming waiting to whisk me off my feet. We didn't meet by chance. He's been part of my life for years, and for most of that time, I've been under his spell.

I wasn't looking for love, especially not in the small mountain town where my brothers and I relocated our security firm. One look at my River of Dreams was all it took to know I'd found the other half of my soul. She wasn't ready for me or my crazy family, so I offered friendship. When tragedy shook her very foundation, there wasn't a force on Earth that would stop me from finally making her mine.

When forced to make an impossible choice, would you sacrifice your pride or your morals? I’m Amorette Monet Black, and I was abducted. Funny thing, I have a choice. One that most women don’t get. I could stay here and be forced to share my body... Or, I could let four questionable men take me away. Only there’s a price. It doesn't matter how much time I don't have, the choice is slipping through my fingers.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

They say never mix business with pleasure. As a single father, and the captain of the Seattle Sasquatches, I’m adamant to keep every corner of my life separate and running perfectly. That is, until Indie Decker walked into my life. She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league. Our first encounter? Pure fire, clashing wills with a passion that ensnared us both. Our second? A tentative truce, maybe even a budding friendship. But at some point, we slid recklessly into a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, thinking we could stay casual.

This is a new to me author. I was captivated by the blurb and I felt like this was a book I needed to read. My hell, I am glad I did. This does end on a HEA, but getting tonthat point is not easy. This story pulls the truth and what happens in a DV relationship. It is raw, emotional! I can truly appreciate the author and taking this story and telling the story of a full cycle relationship and what happens and the psychological side of the characters! This book was beautifully written!

Wonderful writing
I really enjoyed this author’s writing style—it was engaging and well-crafted—but overall, this book just wasn’t for me. I tend to avoid stories with heavy on-page domestic abuse, and this one leaned into that theme more than I was comfortable with. That being said, I appreciated the way the author handled the main character’s journey and how they ultimately overcame the situation. The resilience and strength woven into the plot were definitely highlights, even though the subject matter was tough to read at times.
What did work for me was the mystery/thriller element that ran through the story. It added an intriguing layer that kept me invested, even when the themes weren’t quite my preference. If you enjoy books that tackle darker, more intense topics while delivering a gripping mystery, this one might be right up your alley. While it wasn’t the perfect fit for me, I can absolutely see it resonating with readers who appreciate these kinds of stories.

A defiant need to listen, check your trigger warnings though!
OMG my heart is stunned. I did not see this book coming at all. Domestic abuse, fighting for your life, finding your soul mate out of everything happening, becoming a mom and a wife……this book definitely hits you hard! But oh I loved it. The spice isn’t high but it isn’t needed with this book. It hooks you in and holds you there to the last word. Definitely a worth read/listen too! Always check your trigger warnings, your mental health matters. This book could touch some personal situations and could make you spiral.

Overcome
4.50 ⭐️
0.50 🌶
Specs: Single POV | Under 370 pages
This book dragged me in and made me feel like I was a part of it. Half of me agreed with Jenna and felt for her, and the other half of me wanted to shake some sense into her. Love makes us do things that we sometimes shouldn't do. While there were times Jenna was misguided, there were times when she was protective, determined, and courageous. She fought for herself and the ones she loved and did everything in her power to prevail.
Thank you to Kathy for sharing this story with us.
Narration: It was good and I would recommend it. At times, with both the narrators, it was hard to tell who was talking. For example, if Jenna was talking to Zoey, I had to look at the book to determine who said what. When Damian would talk, I got confused and thought it was Colton because he took on the same growling/angry tone.
I'm not a professional, so take it with a grain of salt.

Romantic suspense
Audio narrated by: Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson
They did a great job with the intensity and emotions expressed by the characters!
Triggers; domestic violence, stalking
This is the type of story that will cause you to go through the entire spectrum of emotions. While at times, Jenna’s actions caused frustration, you get to see how people in this situation are manipulated.
A lot of people would say “if it were me….” You never know and hopefully won’t have to.
The story was intense and the characters were very realistic. The ending wasn’t the usual perfect HEA, it added to the overall believability.
I loved the growth and of the characters. The story had so many twists and turns. There were many unpredictable scenes. The story was definitely hard to read but entertaining.
Each character played an important part of the story. Jenna, her best friend(Zoey), her brother (Justin), Damian and even her parents. Each character shaped Jenna’s character and responses.
Jenna thought she had found her other half. Everything was perfect until it wasn’t. It took her a while to get to a place where she could see the truth. While it was hard to be patient with her journey, it was HER journey.

Not for the Faint of Heart
I seriously had to take a some time after finishing this one. I had to talk it out with my niece. This book rattled me. I won't give you a synopsis, I'll just give you my opinion ( for whatever it's worth).
I must be an awful person because I did not understand Jenna's actions or motivations. I felt sympathetic for a few seconds but then it would turn to aggravation. Are we, as women, really so arrogant as to think we can actually change a grown man?
She's young and headstrong, proud and naive, presumptive and judgmental all while not realizing it.
DESPITE ALL OF THAT.... I could NOT stop reading this damn book! I needed to know what happened.
If the Kathy Lockheart set out to make me "feel something" then she went above and beyond because I felt it all! This is not a relaxing book...it's informative. It's a textbook on what to look for and how not to react.
I want to hate this book but I can't...it did its job too well. So if you want to feel a range of emotions from hope to heartbreak, read it, because Kathy Lockheart will pull you through all of them!!!
Thank you for sending me this one, despite my grumpy reaction I appreciate the trust you put in me and my opinion.

Incredible Storyline!
Deadly Illusion, book 1 in Secrets and the City by Kathy Lockheart.
OMG, this is the first book I have read/listened to by Kathy Lockheart and it was incredible.
Jenna and Justin had a sad life growing up when their sister died but finally picked up and tried to find happiness and Jenna thought that is what she found in Colton. She dreamed of a man like Colton and here he is. Until he became obsessive.
Damian owns the gym that Jenna went into and that put her in his sights, along with the bruises.
It was nice watching these two find one another but the pain and angst that this book brought, so emotional!!
Sarah Puckett is one of my favorite female narrators and she did an incredible job as Jenna. Jenna has so many emotions throughout this and Sarah let’s you feel each one! Michael Norman Johnson is new to me so it was nice to hear someone that I haven’t heard before.
The only thing I didn’t like is that Damian didn’t have his own voice. We did hear him but the main story was done in first person.

IF YOU ONLY KNOW!
A hold your breath kinda audiobook especially towards the end, it will definitely leave you caught up in your thoughts and emotions, it’s a story with an outcome you’d never expected.. but most importantly I think it’s a mix of fiction mingling with a little reality.
Narrator: Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson
These two narrators who are new to me gave an excellent performance in this book!
They made the story so much more compelling upon till the very end.
They gave this book and its characters so much life with their talented storytelling!
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fatal attraction with a twist.
2.5🌶️🌶️ this is an high angst story
🎧🎙️9..Great storytelling by these two narrators who kept me interested to the end !
A tale about a woman who thought she was in love with a man who would eventually rip her world apart… and a then meeting another who would die to protect her if even from herself.
This girl seriously thought she could save her psycho boyfriend unbeknownst with her love… but she ended up endangering not only herself but those she loves…this guy is erratic and dangerous and clearly in the “no one else will have her”mode.
Even Damian the big bad MMA fighter is in peril as this monster continues to rage.
Can she truly find any type peace or happiness away from this toxic Ex or will she have to sacrifice everything and everyone she loves including Damian ?.
+++++++++++🩵🖤🤍🩵++++++++++++
Deadly Illusion
It was written in such a way that I never saw what was coming, the author new to me made a fan out of me with this suspenseful story with low spice I might add, but definitely a good read.
Couple with narration done Duet style and how well the narrators executed it made it definitely a good one, although I would have loved it as a multi cast I however still enjoyed this audiobook to the bittersweet end.
Well done author Kathy Locheart and narrators

I really enjoyed this audiobook
Kathy Lockheart delivered a well thought out, complex story of how your perception of true love can quickly turn sour and the difficulty navigating the aftermath. It also touched on growing up in broken homes, childhood illness, death of loved ones and grief.
We all dream of finding the perfect love, having the relationship of your dreams and living happily ever after. We don’t often expect that it will be us who becomes a victim of Domestic Violence. I thought the author did a great job of exploring the complex feelings associated with being a victim. There is a reason why people get trapped in these cycles and this book captured it. The guilt, the love bombing, the gaslighting. It’s such a complex situation and time for victims who are often manipulated by their partners while trying to navigate their own feelings and hiding it from friends and family.
This book had lots of twists and turns which kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I definitely did not expect the turns it took around the end.
Though the story is written from Jenna’s POV only, the audiobook features a duet narration which I think was a really great addition to the story. It really helped bring the story to life having a narrator for both the male and female characters. I’m really hoping the rest of the books in this series come out soon on audio.
