About this ebook

Control built my empire. She might destroy it all. 


To some, my creation, ARGUS, is a weapon. To others, it's a safeguard. 

The system sees all, finds every connection, leaves no secret buried. 

Yet she found my blind spot. 


I gave her everything—my bed, my secrets, my trust. The heart I'd buried under years of ambition and isolation. 

Only to discover she didn't find me by accident. Former CIA. Investigating a deadly leak. Hired by shadows to hunt rumors that could destroy everything I've built. 

Every kiss was a lie. Every vulnerable moment, a calculated move. She played me like a fucking mark, and I let her. 


But the fire between us? That was real. And now that same fire might burn us both. 


I've always been willing to pay any price to protect my creation.

Now I'll pay any price to keep her. Even if it means becoming the monster they already think I am.


Only the Wicked is the first book in the sizzling Sinful State series, where elite operatives and ruthless billionaires discover that the deadliest game is the one played with the heart—and the only rule is that only the wicked win.

This was my first experience with this author's work. I was entertained by the story. I liked Sydney who was independent, courageous, and driven to find answers regarding her last assignment. I liked Rhodes who buried himself in his work until he met Sydney. When the two were forced by circumstances to work together, in spite of their mistrust, the suspense kept me on the edge-of-my seat. I enjoyed all the twists and turns. There were some steamy scenes depicted. I liked the dual narration.

I loved this. The pacing was fantastic, the characters complex and well developed, the story gripping - I was completely invested from the very first page. I loved both Rhodes and Sydney and was nervously on the edge of my seat hoping for a happy and beautiful ending for the pair. Isabel really delivered a fantastic story with plenty of steam, stress and suspense, and has introduced a host of fascinating and likeable characters who I hope we learn more of as this fab new series progresses

She is an ex-CIA operative that infiltrates Rhodes tech world with astonishing results and neither will be the same as a result. Their relationship is a smoke screen nut underneath it all is a love that developed that they could not deny. Sydney and Rhodes bring this thrilling story to life and kept me glued to my seat. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
