The Vault

Kate Benson's six sinfully steamy stories of The Vault Series are finally available for the first time in one complete set! After a humiliating breakup, Isabella Baxter’s personal life had taken one hell of a hit. She took time to lick her wounds, knowing the last thing she needed was another complication. Focusing on her career seemed like a flawless plan, she’d just need to stay off new CEO, Adam Avery’s, radar. Once they met, there was nowhere else she’d rather be.

Isabella: After a humiliating breakup, I’m not afraid to admit my personal life has taken one hell of a hit. I’ve allowed myself time to lick my wounds and I’m not only confident my nights alone on the couch are numbered, I’ve got a solid plan for the first time in months. Focus on work, don’t worry about the rest. The last thing I need in my life right now is another complication. I’ve convinced myself it’s a flawless plan. I just have to stay off Adam Avery’s radar and I’ll be fine. Now that I’ve met him, I’m not sure I want to be anywhere else.  

One night. One night is all I was ever supposed to take from Isabella, but it wasn’t enough. She invades my thoughts. She fuels my hunger. She strokes my dominance. She threatens to turn my entire life upside down and now? Now, she’s standing at my door. Do I follow what my mind says and turn away the only woman I’ve ever craved? Or do I give in and finally surrender?

One night of passion. It was meant to remain a memory - one unbridled moment of forbidden bliss. However, it quickly transformed into so much more. I wanted something deeper, and that’s exactly what he gave me. I’ve been engulfed into his world of secrets...thrust into the new reality I begged for. Now, I live him, breathe him, crave him. I’ve been taught, trained, completely owned by him. Everything between us has changed. But will it be enough for Adam? Will it be enough for me?

After months of keeping our secret, Bella and I were sure we’d find a way to stay together and to keep our romance from taking us down. We’d been so careful, taken every measure, every fail-safe option there was to stay under the radar. My cousin, the rightful heir to the Avery fortune, found out anyway. Now? He’s out for blood. I swore I’d keep her safe, promised I’d do whatever it takes to make sure this side of my life never touched her.

Disaster puts a lot into perspective. I thought I’d made my peace with losing everything in the name of love. For months, it’s been staring Adam and me in the face. If I’m being honest, there’s a part of me that welcomed it. There’s a piece of my soul that yearned for it to swallow me whole and offer us a means to an end. I’m not sure of much these days, but there’s one thing I know as a fact: I’ll never survive losing him.

Adam: I said I’d never let things go this far, but a taken heart can also be a deceptive one. Being with Bella has turned my life upside down. Now, I’m on the verge of losing everything I’ve ever worked for, including the love of my life. I’ve fought for her, bled myself into us. The board has come for us, our stalker is waiting, and the media continues to fuel the fire. What began with a chance of redemption will end the same. I think I always knew it would. I just never thought I’d be fighting for her redemption instead of mine.
