The House of Kings series
Many of you have followed the Unforgettable series, which morphed into the Hinton Brothers series. Now Iâm introducing you to the Hintonsâ playboy bachelor cousinsâthe Kings.
Eamon, Xavier and Jeremy, along with their infamous cousin Quentin Hinton, are business partners in a gentlemenâs club franchise called The Dollhouse. One of their most popular and lucrative specialties is their bachelor party services. With clubs in Atlanta, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the brothers are determined to make sure their clientsâ last night of bachelorhood is one theyâll never forget. But itâs not as easy as it sounds dealing with hotel managers, outrageous clients and, of course, the entertainment. The brothers are prepared for anythingâ¦except when love comes knocking on their door.
In Kingâs Pleasure, Jeremy King meets beautiful Malibu party-crasher Leigh Matthews. Within minutes, he knows that sheâs a woman who is used to getting whatever she wants. And for one wild night, she wants him. After their torrid, one-night affair, his bikini-clad goddess disappears only to return weeks later to hire him to plan her bachelorette bash. Stunned, he refuses to host her party, but quickly reconsiders. After all, the wedding is six weeks away, and thereâs not a sexual trick in the books that he wonât use to try and change her mind.
If you missed the first two books in the House of Kings trilogyâKingâs Passion and Kingâs Promiseâ both are still available. Better yet, buy all three and enjoy this sizzling summer series.
Remember, in love, never bet against a Kingâ¦.

Quentin Dewayne Hinton was getting desperate. It began slowly, but now it was picking up steam. A part of him longed for the days when he was reckless and carefreeâdrinking by day, screwing by night. Why, oh why, did it have to end? Deep down, he knew the answer. His carefree life had ended when he became the very thing he detested: a successful businessman.
In the beginning, of course, it had been fun. But that was only because he had joined forces with his cousins, the Kings. And just like the three Musketeersâthere were four of them. But as the late, great Biggie Smalls said: âMore money, more problems.â And Quentinâs biggest problem seemed to follow him around wherever he went.
âLet me get this straight,â said Father Dickerson, braiding his fingers together. âYou want me to perform an exorcism on you?â
Quentin coughed to clear his throat. âWell, me and my houseâ¦and my car. And if itâs not too much to ask, at this club that I work at.â
âYou mean the strip club?â
Q coughed a little harder this time and straightened upright in his chair. âI guess for a lack of a better term⦠Uh, yes. I, uh, own a chain of strip clubs called The Dollhouse. Actually, there used to be four of us. Well, three, really. They were supposed to operate the clubs and I was just the money manâthe silent partner. Then they started settling down and selling their shares in the business. The next thing you knowâpow! I own the whole kit and caboodle.â He flashed the cleric an awkward smile.
Father Dickersonâs eyebrows crashed together in the center of his forehead. âSon, please forgive me if this next question offends you. But, uh, are you well?â
Quentin actually gave the question serious thought. âTo tell you the truth, Father, Iâm not sure Iâm qualified to answer that just yet. I mean, honestly. I can be frank with you, canât I?â
âSure. Absolutely.â
âGood.â Another smile crept across Qâs face as he tried to clear his throat again with a deep cough. âTo be honest, I feel fineâbetter than fine on most days. I mean, how could you own the hottest strip clubs in three cities and not feel upbeat about life, right?â
Father Dickerson just stared at him.
âWell, maybe you donât know. But trust me. A man like me, still in his prime and surrounded by beautiful, firm, heavily oiled bodies is its own blessing.â
âIâll take your word for it,â the priest said.
âYeah, uh, right. Anyway, there has been some un- usualâ Well, not quite paranormal activity happening from time to time.â
