Just Between Us by Lena Hendrix is NOW LIVE!
Royal King is pure mischief wrapped in a cocky smirk and a heated stare.
Five minutes in his small town and I knew he was going to be nothing but trouble. He’s an arrogant, tattooed playboy with a secret, and I’m the woman tasked with quietly cleaning up his family’s mess.
I never dreamed he could be the mysterious stranger behind my hidden, late-night messages.
It doesn’t matter what he says or how hard he tries to get under my skin. I won’t break. Not for him. Not for anyone. But when our secrets are exposed, all bets are off.
He knows the rules—just a little fun exploration. Nothing more. But one lesson leads to another . . . and another . . . and soon I realize that he’s set out to break every rule I’ve ever put into place.
I refuse to find myself melting under his gaze or swooning at the way he makes the noise around us quieter.
I can handle men like him.
Everything will be fine as long as we can keep this just between us.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Wow! I was intrigued by Royal King from the first time he showed up in the Sullivan family series… and Lena Hendrix did not disappoint with the dirty-talking, tattooed, golden retriever Dom we got to know in Just Between Us!
Royal and his black cat, Veda, were so well matched. I have to say, I was not expecting *that* kind of meet-cute. And I giggled once the “favor” he’d requested of Lark Sullivan came out. She is icy and sassy, and he is just so kind-hearted and sweet, in complete opposition to the tattooed bad boy persona he presents. Veda arrives in Outtatowner to assist JP in investigating their dad, Russell. Unbeknownst to either Royal or Veda, they already *know* each other thanks to a certain OnlyFans-style app. When their virtual relationship collides with their real lives, it can potentially cause real issues for them both. But instead, it leads to a wonderful relationship where Royal gives by-the-rules Veda some spicy lessons in learning how to relax and enjoy living in the moment.
As strong and focused as Veda is, she has some insecurities about herself. And Royal has some insecurities himself stemming from his mother abandoning him and his siblings. As they get to know each other, Royal and Veda help one another break down the walls they’ve erected around their hearts and give each other a safe space to be vulnerable. The banter between these characters is witty and fun, but there are also plenty of sweet moments between Royal and Veda that I just adored.
The mystery surrounding Russel King and what happened to the kids’ mother comes to light in this book as well, in a very shocking manner. I’m looking forward to seeing what the fallout is from that! After that tease at the end, I can’t wait for JP’s book!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
