About this ebook

From USA Today Bestselling Author Blair Babylon, a thrilling romantic suspense tale about a twisted billionaire with a shady past.

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime, and for Tristan “Twist” King, the time has come to commit his.

Tristan is twenty-eight years old, six feet four, wealthy, frighteningly good at day-trading stocks, and lives on a yacht in Monaco. The Prince of Monaco is his buddy from boarding school, and his other friends are billionaires, politicians, CEOs, actors, and rock stars. He dates heiresses, minor princesses, models, and Fortune 50 vice presidents. He has it all. 

But a debt has come due, and Tristan needs a large amount of GameShack’s stock. If he doesn’t produce it, he’ll be in debt for the rest of his life. It’s worth far more money than Tristan has or can borrow.

To get the stock, Tristan has to destroy GameShack. 

He haunts the stock forum Sherwood Forest day and night, looking for a crack in the company’s financial armor, until the forum’s moderator, QueenMod, suspects his motives and trolls his every move.

But he’ll figure it out. He has to. Otherwise, he’ll be not only broke and in debt, but it will probably cost him his life.

What Tristan hadn’t counted on was meeting Colleen Frost, a perky, funny GameShack employee while on a recon trip. She has no idea what he’s up to, or so he thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By day, Colleen Frost works the register at GameShack, but by night, she’s a moderator on the infamous stock market activist website Sherwood Forest. She’s paid back half her student loans by trolling short-traders who tried to make a quick buck by setting companies on fire and selling the ashes.

And it’s fun, too.

When her sub-forum begins to crackle with rumors that someone is trying to crash GameShack’s stock, she suspects forum member TwistyTrader might be in on it. So she dogs him every time he’s online, calling out his baloney and making his forum life a living heck.

But when a tall, handsome hunk named Tristan King with incredible sapphire eyes walks into her GameShack store and starts flirting with her, all the while chatting about her favorite videogame, she gives him her online contact info, which turns into a coffee date, which turns into more.

And that’s when things get TWISTED.

Ratings and reviews

Twisted: Romantic Suspense with a Twist (Scholarship Mafia, Book #1) Tristan King receives some correspondence whilst he's on his yacht in Monaco. It sets alarm bells ringing & fear spiking through his blood stream!😳 He hops on a private plane to the U.S. & sets his plan in motion, in the hope of stopping what will ruin him!💥 Colleen Frost works for a GameShack store as a sales & checkout clerk. She didn't finish College. She lives very quietly & frugally, with few friends. She survives hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck. She is put upon by her boss constantly, he takes vast liberties with her hours, responsibilities & pay.😡 TwistyTrader is a killer whale on the stock market forums. He stays out of trouble, usually, but occasionally he'll push a boundary or thirty. He can sweet talk most of the mods & get himself out of trouble, except with QueenMod. She's strict, by the book & doesn't negotiate!😕 QueenMod is a top moderator on a financial stock market forum called 'Sherwood Forest'. She loathes the killer whales that deliberately con first timers/n00bs into buying bad stock at high prices then making a killing off of them by buying them out at a really low price.😠 One exception is the Killer Whale King! He often tries to step in & shelter the n00bs. He's by no means perfect though & she's caught him trying to trawl for data so she's put him under a 14 day moderated period. He objects & wants to meet *irl* which is strictly against board policy for legal, safety & confidentiality reasons! Within 24 hours Tristan, Collen, QueenMod & TwistyTrader are going to collide in real life *irl*, in unexpected ways and places. Their lives will be put in danger and there is zero guarantee any of them will survive it!😳💥 This is like being edged by book! I nearly cried with frustration when the book finished on a huge 'What The F***ing Hell?!' cliffhanger.😳🙈 , I suppose I'll be waiting, tied up in the Devilhouse, for my, I mean the books, climax!💞😉 I have to say these couples both had the pages on fire.🔥🔥 The journey to, and description of, subspace was so erotic, it transported you straight to the walls of the Devilhouse in all her kink-filled glory!💥👅👄 Roll on this books finale.😉🙏🌟 Debbie, 1970, UK

If you are familiar with Blair Babylon's books you know she will grab your attention, twist your emotions, take you on a roller coaster ride, and in book one... leave you with a crazy cliffhanger! The first part of Tristan and Colleen's story was so much fun to read! They both are anonymously in an online forum and end up hooking up, anonymously at the Devilhouse BDSM club(in many of Blair's previous series). It was a very gentle introduction for Colleen into Twist's world. The following day, they collide as themselves and the adventure begins! Colleen is drawn into the world of big finance, the Russian Mafia and steamy romance. This book has it all, and I can't wait to read Tangled to see where the story goes from here!

Another hot, twisty turn from the LeRosey group. The smoking hot, sinister, mafia stories just keep coming. This one ends on a cliffhanger, which is irritating, even for Ms. Blair’s die hard fan’s, but the action, steam and blossoming romance, kind of make up for the bit of disappointment. Grab this one and any previous unread books in the Billionaires in Disguise series, while waiting for the next in Twist’s adventure.
