That's how Samara Mallick has always thought of Beckett King. And he's absolutely living up to his unpredictable ways when he strides into her office and asks for help after inheriting his father's company.

"The Last King has everything I love in a book suspense, angst, romance."

The Last King has all that and so, so much more." "An intense, thrilling and passionate read...I couldn't get enough of Beckett and Samara!" Katee Robert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who learned to tell stories at her grandpa's knee. Her novel The Marriage Contract was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it "a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. "Top Pick! Beckett and Samara are a fantastic, modern couple. They clash in the boardroom and the bedroom, are total equals, and their bring-it-on spirit makes every interaction lively and exciting - whether clothes are on or off.... The heart of this romance is the development of trust between Beckett and Samara, and Robert expertly unfolds it, revealing the emotional connection on both sides under the flash and fire of their irresistible chemistry. 4 1/2 stars"-RT Book Reviews on The Last King "THE LAST KING is sure to draw you in from the first sentence and hold your attention at a steady pace until the end.
