About this ebook

From New York Times Bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, comes the first book in a new, sexy duet.

How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons:

Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check.

Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check.

How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons:

Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season.

Check. Check. Check.

I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss.

Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town.

Especially when he’s mean to you.

Or so I thought.

Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark.

That was sort of how it all started with Rush.

And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down.

I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close.

I wasn't supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me.

As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Rebel Heir is the first book in the Rush Series Duet. Book Two, Rebel Heart, will release six weeks later on May, 22, 2018.

4.25 stars--REBEL HEIR is the first instalment in the contemporary adult THE RUSH SERIES erotic, romance duology co-authored by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. This is bar owner and businessman Heathcliff ‘Rush’ Rushmore, and romance author/bar hostess Gia Mirabelli’s story line. Told from dual first person perspectives (Rush and Gia) REBEL HEIR follows the forbidden relationship between twenty-nine year old heir and business owner Heathcliff ‘Rush’ Rushmore, and wanna-be romance author / bar hostess Gia Mirabelli. Trying to help out a friend Gia finds herself hopelessly out of her element behind the bar at The Heights, a busy and popular hot spot. But all does not go according to plans when the hot, tattooed and sexy owner discovers Gia is working under false pretenses. Enter bar owner Rush, and the man with whom Gia will fall in love. What ensues is the slow building, relationship between Gia and Rush, and the potential fall-out as Rush refuses to get involved one of his employees, and Gia’s recent past makes an unexpected and shocking appearance. Gia Mirabelli is a no-nonsense kinda girl who speaks her mind and goes for what she wants, and Gia wants her new employer Rush, but Rush has a no-dating policy where it concerns…everyone. A one-night stand kinda guy, Rush’s attraction to Gia is palpable but he refuses to give in to his heart’s demands. As Rush struggles with his desire for Gia, the ongoing battles with his extended family begin to encroach on his beliefs and ideals. The relationship between Gia and Rush is one of immediate attraction but Rush refuses to act on his attraction believing he is incapable of love or any kind of permanent commitment. Gia has been burned by her most recent one-night stand, a memory that continues to haunt our heroine to this very day. The $ex scenes are limited but sexual play is abundant and intense. I will add that the use of a certain four-letter word, I find vulgar, is quite pervasive- the heroine also comments on her dislike of the word. The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic. We are introduced to Gia’s roommate and best friend Riley; her father NYPD police officer tony Mirabelli ; Rush’s half-brother Elliot, and his father Gerald Horvath; and his mother Melody Rushmore. REBEL HEIR is a heart breaking and animated story line with strong characters. The premise is powerful and engrossing; the characters are spirited and realistic; the romance is sassy, sexy and captivating. There are moments of revelation and inspiration; family and pain; romance and love. REBEL HEIR ends on a cliffhanger-you have been warned!

I read the sample of this book and I actually liked it. But when I wanted to purchase it, it gave an error massage saying it's not available in my country. I enjoyed it but on multiple occasions I got the massage.

Loved this book up until Gia found out she was pregnant. I was really hoping it would be more ironic and the positive pregnancy test end up being her roommates. I love Vi Keeland and this will be the 5th book of hers I have read. Such a let down, I felt like she dropped the ball on this one.
