The Techboys Series by Eve M. Riley

Never let down your guard. Never let anyone see your weakness. You can’t say I wasn’t warned . . . When I first walked into Janus Phillips’s offices, it was right into a high-profile hacking problem the scale of which I’d never seen before. That word high-profile? Been there, done that. Not stepping through that doorway twice. But the trouble was, I didn’t really have a choice. And I wasn’t prepared for Janus. God, no.

When I first walked into Janus Phillips’s offices, it was right into a high-profile hacking problem the scale of which I’d never seen before. That word high-profile? Been there, done that. Not stepping through that doorway twice. But the trouble was, I didn’t really have a choice. And I wasn’t prepared for Janus. God, no. He was determined to get through every last defense I had. And I had no idea how addictive he would turn out to be.I could tell you how the gossip columns roasted me, or how I wasn’t prepared for the limelight. But truthfully? I was blasé and foolish. I dropped my guard. And trusting someone like that? Well, that’s the worst thing you can do. less

Never trust a bad boy. Just let me roll my eyes here for a second. Who peddles this nonsense? Let’s call them an asshole from the get-go …Two years after the first one messed me up with his bullshit, here’s another one: lying in front of me in the ER, unconscious. The last one chewed me up and spat me out, so I’m not going anywhere with this one. Unlike last time, I know exactly what I’m dealing with. I’m older. Wiser. Moving on... moreNever trust a bad boy.

Let’s call them an asshole from the get-go …Two years after the first one messed me up with his bullshit, here’s another one: lying in front of me in the ER, unconscious. The last one chewed me up and spat me out, so I’m not going anywhere with this one. Unlike last time, I know exactly what I’m dealing with. I’m older. Wiser. Moving on.You should never let them help you out—that’s where I think it all goes wrong, that’s when they slip under your defences.

You could say my radar is a little broken. Charmers. Cheaters. The worst of the worst. It took me all of ten seconds to work out that he was nothing like that …Blond hair, broad shoulders, heart-breaking smile.So maybe I was bowled over.A little starry-eyed.Especially when he didn’t shy away from all my sass. Gave as good as he got.So I didn’t ask too much. Didn’t probe when he answered a question with a question.I guess I thought he had secrets. Yeah … well … I have a few of those myself... moreYou could say my radar is a little broken. Charmers. Cheaters. The worst of the worst.

Award winning Author Eve M Riley launches Book 4 in the 'Techboys' seriesChances: They say you always regret the ones you don’t take. But that’s not true. Sometimes they’re just dead ends, and they’re going to get you nowhere. I pass up on a chance the night I meet up with a beautiful-but-reluctant, brown-eyed boy; too preoccupied with my imploding job to figure out why he’s so cagey.

But that’s not true. Sometimes they’re just dead ends, and they’re going to get you nowhere. I pass up on a chance the night I meet up with a beautiful-but-reluctant, brown-eyed boy; too preoccupied with my imploding job to figure out why he’s so cagey. But then Alex sends me a tantalizing photograph, and on a whim, I send him one back. And his unexpected reply makes my pulse race. When he calls asking for help, I can’t say no. And the shy smile, tight body, and sun-in-autumn eyes drag me in, so I bury my poor relationship history and hope that this time it will all be different. Having Alex in my life makes me want something I’ve never had before, gives me hope. So I don’t think about the consequences until I discover he has some brutal secrets of his own.
