About this ebook

“Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little.” ~ Epicurus

 

At what age did I begin to question everything?

 

As far back as I, Donavan Sherman, can recall, I saw the world not through the rose-colored glasses of others—those spectacles worn by the individuals who see what surrounds them and are satisfied—but through vision hued by green.

 

Life took me along a bumpy path, or better yet, the path I chose led me to encounter obstacles that prepared me to overcome. That journey didn’t sugarcoat the world; it opened my eyes to the true qualities of green—greed, illness, and envy. After all, even Disney surrounds their villains in green smoke. That green hue created the realization that there is always more, always better, and never enough.

 

I saw, I coveted, I took, and I conquered.

 

I made enemies.

 

Even with Julia by my side, my quest for more isn’t satisfied. There are people I want to see suffer, but it seems that revenge isn’t a one-way street.

 

Will Julia pay the price for my sins?   

 

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new age-gap, family saga, chance meeting, contemporary romantic-suspense novel in the world of high finance, where success is sweet and revenge is sweeter.

Ratings and reviews

4.25 stars--GREEN ENVY is the second full-length instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult SIN erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on forty-one year old, billionaire businessman Donavan Sherman, and twenty-four year old, pharmaceutical heiress Julia McGrath. GREEN ENVY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two RED SIN. NOTE: There is a prequel novella -WHITE RIBBON -that was first released as part of the I HAVE LIVED, AND I HAVE LOVED anthology. Depending upon your copy of RED SIN, it may or may not contain the introductory story line. SOME BACKGROUND: Weeks before her wedding to childhood friend Skylar Butler, Julia would discover a double betrayal from her fiance and her best friend. Leaving Chicago, and heading to the deep country of Wisconsin, Julia embarked on the next phase of her life, a life that included Donavan Sherman. Told from dual first person perspectives (DonAvan and Julia) using present day and memories from the past GREEN ENVY picks up immediately after the events of RED SIN wherein little bits about Donavan’s past are slowly revealed but Julia’s family owned company Wade Pharmaceuticals is struggling to stay ahead of a ballooning bank payment, and our couple are about to uncover the people and players behind another betrayal in Julia’s life. As Julia and Donavan prepare to do battle with the shareholders and the Board of Directors, our couple come to the realization that even family cannot be trusted, and the people believed to be in control are merely puppets controlled by someone else. What ensues is the ongoing relationship and romance between Julia and Donavan, and the potential fall-out as family secrets scream of more betrayal, and Donavan’s past is determined to destroy them all. GREEN ENVY is a complex and detailed story of family and betrayal, secrets and lies, vengeance and retaliation, envy and greed. The secondary and supporting characters begin to reveal a sordid history for a number of families, families now interconnected by power and control. The fast paced and character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are spirited, charismatic and animated. GREEN ENVY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Bravo to the Queen of cliffhangers! What a ride! All the twist and turns will intrigue you from the beginning to the end. Scorching hot chemistry and the suspense is killing me. I need the final book ASAP!

Green Envy by Aleatha Romig is the second book in the Sin progression, and it is the best way to start the New Year. The suspense will keep you on your toes, the mystery surrounding Wade Pharmaceutical, all the critical players, and which ones are the good guys. Start with White Ribbon, then Red Sin; you don't want to miss a word or a possible hint about what might occur in Ashland or Chicago. Aleatha has done it again with this extraordinary tale; what she has spun together is nothing less than brilliant, indeed magic and mystery. Have you been Aleatha'd?
