Just one night, one stranger, and my own twisted game to try and break free from my past.
Bared Betrayal, an all-new dark, sizzling, age-gap, forbidden romance from international bestselling author Bella J, is available now!
I have a huge diamond ring on my finger, something that shows the world I’m spoken for. To me, it’s a reminder of a secret I can’t take with me when I walk down the aisle.
My new fiancé just became an overnight sensation on the Hollywood scene, and we went from quiet dinners to champagne towers and caviar croquettes with A-listers. While Sebastian basks in his newfound fame, I’m trying to figure out how to fix myself so I can be a good wife.
Deep down, I know there’s only one way. I need to face my demons rather than try and bury them. But Sebastian can’t be the one to help me do it. He can’t know my secret, not if I want a future with him, a man whose life is now under the public spotlight.
It has to be someone else. A complete stranger. Someone I’ll never see again. Better yet, someone who won’t care; who won’t ask questions or hesitate when I tell him what it is I need.
It’s the only way.
Just one night, one stranger, and my own twisted game to try and break free from my past.
But my world implodes when I realize I’ve merely traded one secret for another—and that secret just walked in at my engagement party introducing himself as Gabriel King…
My future father-in-law.

“You in the white dress.” The hostess’ voice forces me to look away from him. “Your turn.”
Oh, Jesus. Oh, my God. Why did I wear the white dress? I’m not ready for this. I can’t do this. I can’t…can I?
For a moment, I look back up, the man’s head slightly tilted as he studies me. Even behind the mask, his curiosity swims in his eyes, and it’s like I can feel his gaze softly caress my skin. It seems to slide over every inch of my body. If I could choose, I would pick him.
My feet are heavy, and my legs are unsteady as I walk toward the table. No. It’s not a table. It’s an altar where we offer our bodies to gods dressed in pristine Armani suits. An altar where the gods will decide if you’re worthy or not.
Suddenly I’m more afraid of not being chosen rather than nervous about getting tongue-fucked by six strangers in front of everyone here tonight. Not getting chosen means I’m not good enough. Not getting chosen means I fail yet again. It means I’m too pathetic, too weak. It means what I came here to find is something I will never have.
Freedom.
This is a mistake. I can’t do this. I’d rather not go through with it than risk not getting chosen, especially with him watching. But, for some reason, I don’t want to disappoint him. And that is the piece I can’t figure out, why I want so badly to please him.
“Um…” I fist my hands next to me, the silk of my dress feeling like sandpaper against my skin as my nerves start eating at my flesh. “I, ah…I can’t—”
“Close your eyes,” a voice whispers behind me. The way his authority vibrates down my spine, I know it’s him. I can feel it. The man whose gaze has been keeping mine captive all night. My body tingles. He’s so close his warm breath glides along my neck, causing me to shiver as I try to breathe. I obey instantly as if the option not to doesn’t exist. It’s something my mind doesn’t seem to comprehend, so I close my eyes, listening to the erratic beating of my heart.
My lips part as he settles a hand on my hip, gently guiding me onto the table. I have no idea why or how, but I trust him. I want to. It comes as naturally as breathing. His presence alone gives me the confidence I need to fight my fear and embrace the moment.
The mahogany is cold against my back as I lie down, my shoulder blades pressing against the wood. I don’t open my eyes when I feel his breath as he rasps in my ear, “Good girl.”
Two words. Two seconds, and my body feels more alive than it ever has. I’m no longer on a table in front of a crowd at a sex club. I’m somewhere else, alone…with him. My perfect stranger who makes my body sing for him with a single whisper.

United Indie Book Blog Review
Reviewer: Raychel
Rating: 5 stars
Holy book hangover! I’m not even sure what to say about Bared Betrayal. When I say I devoured this book I mean I literally could not put it down. Kallie is just surviving when her boyfriend proposes, she just accepts. Just wanting to be “normal”. One night at Myth leads to so much more. Gabriel is amazing with her and so patient. These two would set off fire alarms with how hot they are together. I love each and every page. Definitely my new favorite Bella J book and my new #1 read of 2023.
