About this ebook

"If Sierra Simone and Skye Warren had a book baby..." USA TODAY Bestselling author Samanthe Beck

——

I'm a 21st CENTURY COURTESAN. I'm down to my last four clients. One wants to play me. One wants to buy me. One wants to marry me. One wants to murder me...

——

I moonlight at Ma Maison as an escort to pay for Mom's pricey psych treatments. Beautiful, broken billionaires pay ungodly sums of money to be with me because I'm empathic -- I feel in my own body what they feel in theirs. I can heal what broke them.

When gorgeous high stakes poker player Dylan McAlister hires me, my empathic ability returns with a fury.

I feel the emotions that torment him. His shame roots in my belly. His heartache compresses my chest. His fear stabs me in my back.

It’s overwhelming, it's excruciating, but I can't abandon him -- I'm falling in love with him.

Will I help Dylan McAlister heal? Or will I break him beyond repair -- just like the first boy I feel in love with?

——

21st CENTURY COURTESAN is a sexy, dark, addictive series filled with love, lust, family loyalty, deceit, revenge, and all the sweet little things in life worth killing for...

Ratings and reviews

Player was a great 5 star read and book one in the 21st Century Courtesan series. I was pulled right in from the beginning with a childhood memory that was heartbreaking for Evie. I actually finished this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down. I am not a rickety shed. Will I survive the storm that blows through? -Evie Evie is a teacher trying to take care of her mother and sister and is barely paying off her student loans. A friend offers her an opportunity to make some good money, at first she turns it down but quickly changes her mind. She is now a very popular escort in Chicago with Ma Maison. There are several people interested in Evie. Evie is considered a problem solver and can help people. She was just about to take a 30 day leave to spend time with her family but she was personally requested by someone who needed her badly. Dylan is desperate for her help, she goes with him to a high-stakes poker party and things progressed from there. Things take an interesting twist for Evie with her family, and an unexpected stalker. I really liked Evie’s story. There is something about her that drew me right in. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get past and present POV’s which added to the story as well. This is my first read from Pamela and I loved it, she pulls you right in with her writing. The ending isn’t what I expected and now I’m anxiously awaiting the next book to see what happens. If you're looking for a different type of read with danger, sex, love and so much more I highly recommend this book.

Gripping story the whole way.
