About this ebook

Damion West was the boy who stole my young heart and then broke it. That was a long time ago though and I’m not a girl susceptible to hot boys with big egos who just happen to kiss well anymore. Nor have I kept up with Damion West. Okay, I have. Everyone has. He's the heir to West Enterprises.

Everyone knows Damion West.

Just not like I do.

But that's another story better left untold.

It’s hard sometimes to remember that I’m no slouch myself. Confidence isn't exactly my forte but I fake it well. I’ve worked with my parents’ real estate firm catering to the rich and famous for years and I'm now one of the top agents in the country. Blue Enterprises is the name of our firm, which is also my name. Blue. Alana Blue. And now I'm on TV, the star of Selling in New York.

But every family has secrets. Damion's does and mine does as well.

That's why I have the TV show I didn't really want.

Nothing is real.

Except him. Damion. He's real. So is my past with him. But it's the past. 

Then one day I get called to a meeting by the studio head, it's all very secretive.

Because it's not the studio at all, or actually, it is. Because his family owns everything.

That's right.

The meeting is with him. It's with Damion West.

And Lord help me, he's now sexier, and more arrogant than ever.

Also it turns out that what Damion wants from me isn't as simple as a real estate contract.

But it's a contract all right.

Ratings and reviews

PROTEGE KING is the first instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult WALL STREET EMPIRE: STRICTLY BUSINESS erotic, romance series. This is thirty-three year old acquisitions/mergers/investor Damion West, and real estate agent/reality star Alana Blue’s story line.The fast paced premise is intriguing and compelling;the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and determined. PROTEGE KING ends on a cliff hanger.

This author is at the top of my auto-buy list, and Protégé King is the perfect example why. Like a symphony this author builds and builds her story from the very first page, pulling you in with a story that crackles with sensual energy, and passion with characters that are memorable, driven, sexy, intelligent, and wonderfully compelling. Her stories are edgy, intense, full of intrigue, angst, suspense, and passion that keep you glued to the pages and begging for more. Always wanting more!

I loved this book, Damion and Alana have know each other since childhood. They slept together once as young adults and haven’t seen each other in 10 years and Damion didn’t leave on good terms. They are forced together again and the sparks are flying. There are many reasons they shouldn’t be together but it might be the only way for him to protect her. I can’t wait to find out what happens in book two.
