Zusatztext Praise for the Perfect Gentlemen Series “Shayla Black and Lexi Blake never fail to heat up the page! and the Perfect Gentlemen series is no exception. Hot and edgy and laced with danger! the stories in the Perfect Gentlemen series are just that—perfect.”—J. Kenner! New York Times and international bestselling author of the Stark series “While there are certainly incendiary sex scenes at the top of this series opener! the strength is in the underlying murder and political mystery. The teens who were supposed to be the ‘Perfect Gentlemen of Creighton Academy’ are now an appealing group of ultra-successful! powerful men who readers will absolutely adore.”— RT Book Reviews Informationen zum Autor Shayla Black, Lexi Blake Klappentext From the New York Times bestselling authors of the Masters of Ménage series.... They are the Perfect Gentlemen of Creighton Academy: privileged, wealthy, powerful friends with a wild side. But a deadly scandal is about to tear down their seemingly ideal lives. Maddox Crawford's sudden death sends Gabriel Bond reeling. Not only is he burying his best friend, he's cleaning up Mad's messes, including his troubled company. Grieving and restless, Gabe escapes his worries in the arms of a beautiful stranger. But his mind-blowing one-night stand is about to come back to haunt him.... Mad groomed Everly Parker to be a rising star in the executive world. Now that he's gone, she's sure her job will be the next thing she mourns, especially after she ends up accidentally sleeping with her new boss. If only their night together hadn't been so incendiary-or Gabe like a fantasy come true.... As Gabe and Everly struggle to control the heated tension between them, they discover evidence that Mad's death was no accident. Now they must bank their smoldering passions to hunt down a murderer-because Mad had secrets that someone was willing to kill for, and Gabe or Everly could be the next target....

Especially when it hadn’t been a student of the all-girls Murray Heights Academy for Young Women, but their faculty sponsor. Damn, she’d looked maybe twenty, and in exceptional shape. She’d had the most gorgeous pair of breasts he’d ever seen in his young life. Roman Calder stepped up beside him. “I don’t think my client should answer any questions.” Sometimes Roman took his position as the president of the Creighton chapter of the Future Lawyers of America way too seriously. “Mr. Calder, you’re in trouble, too. All of you boys are. This is a serious offense. While Mr. Bond has shamed our academy, the rest of you broke the rules as well. What did you think you were doing, sneaking off to a bar?
