I am many things. billionaire, rogue, rebel. But I never figured myself for a thief.
The Benefactor, book two in the See No Evil series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestseller, Nana Malone, is LIVE!
My money can buy power, control, access. Even oaths of loyalty.
The one thing it can’t buy is her…or her safety.
I vowed to protect her…
I failed…
To save her, I'll need to forget everything I am and forgo control. And I can't, under any circumstances, fail.
The canary jewel is the key.
Tonight I am no longer a billionaire.
Tonight I keep new secrets.
My name is Ben Covington and tonight, I am a thief.

Excerpt:
“You’ll have to trust me.”
“Right. Trust the man who hides so much.”
“You kept things to yourself too.” He ground his teeth, and I could see the muscle of his jaw working.
Which unfortunately also drew my attention to his lips. And I could remember his taste, spicy on my tongue. The way he kissed, first with a sip that made you want to quench your thirst in one gulp. The slow, drugging kisses designed to make a woman moan without much effort.
Jesus, I needed to stop. I would not think about him kissing me, or him lifting up my skirt, bending me over the desk and spanking me. Nope, I was not going to think about that. “From now on, no more lies. I can’t take it. I need to know what you know.”
He narrowed his gaze at me then. “Got any more copies of this that you’re hiding from me?”
“Oh, nice. Real mature. That’s the only one. I’ve just given you my insurance policy; you have to give me yours.”
“No more lies.”
“Fine. And while we’re at it, can we get security for Telly and Carmen? Todd has heard me talk about them on the phone before. I don’t want them to be targets.”
The muscle in his jaw ticked. “Fine.”
I shifted on my feet. Do or die time. “Also, I’m not sure of the living arrangements. I don’t think I can go back to the loft.”
“You’ll be staying with me at Covington House.”
The way he said that, like a command, not a suggestion. That beautiful house with the pillars and the kitchen right out of Architecture Magazine. I hadn’t seen much of the space, but I would love to explore it. My brain slapped my pussy. Snap out of it, bitch. You’re not playing house. I cleared my throat. “I’ll accept because I have no choice. But so you know, if I had a choice, I’d be anywhere else but there.”
He approached slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. His smooth gait was catlike as he approached. The moment I could feel his heat I tried to back away. I knew I was weak. I’d lean in and sniff given half a chance. Stay strong. Stay strong.
“If it makes you feel better to say that, fine. But let me be clear. You and I, we’re not done. The conversation about us is still to be continued.”
I swallowed hard. Because that sounded so much like a warning. One my body didn’t want to heed. I said nothing as I turned to head to my office. I wasn’t going to let him see in my gaze that I wanted to stay.
Review:
Ben and Livy pick up where they left off and Livy shows us exactly how tough she is. Who attacked her and why? Is it because of the Elite? Is it becasue of her mom's book? What will she do when she learns the truth of what is going on with Ben? How far will Ben go to keep her safe?
There are so many twists, turns, bumps and hurdles these two have to navigate before they find any sort of happiness, but the ride you take is so worth it. Once they both come to some realizations and start working together it gets very exciting and complicated. I loved the advice Ben's friends gave him about his feelings for Livy. I didn't like how stubborn she was in certain situations or how she wouldn't admit certain things to him becasue she didn't want to acknowledge that he might actually care about her.
The end of the book will leave you holding your breath wondering what in the world is going on now. Hold on to your hats people, you are in for one heck of a ride with the Benefactor. I can only imagine what Ms. Malone has in store for us in the next book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
