A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans is AVAILABLE NOW!
He's my most delicious secret.
The hot Suit I had a one-night stand with one evening.
I didn't know anything about him, not even his name.
Only that we shared a taxi, and he was staying at the hotel where I worked.
We met in room 301. Where he commanded not only my body but my soul.
The next day he was gone and I only had a memory of him.
I could still taste his kisses, feel his demanding touch.
I searched for him for months. Daydreaming about him. Wondering if I'd ever find him.
Until the day I find myself staring face to face with his jeweled black eyes again.
He says lets keep it casual, and my heart knows that falling for this workaholic in a three-thousand-dollar suit is off the table.
Because he has a secret. One that's a deal breaker for me.
My Suit has a name.
Ian Ford.
And this is our story.
⭐️ 3 "Workaholic & Dancer" Stars ⭐️
I love Katy Evans’ books! Tycoon was a top favorite read for me last year, so I was highly anticipating Mogul! I’m kind of sad to admit that this book was a disappointment for me. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as extraordinary as what this author had me familiarized with. In my opinion, there was not enough chemistry between the main couple; I didn’t really feel their connection until very late! A little too late!
"You're the only thing that's made me want to start over - from the very beginning."
As separate characters, I enjoyed Sara and Ian. Sara is a vibrant and determined girl! She goes for what she wants with boldness and no apologies. She does everything to make her dream of dancing in a Broadway production come true! Ian is also an interesting man. Behind his dirty talking and commanding attitude hides a man with sentiments, but hurt by love before.
"We're the song and the dance, the tune and the variation, the violin and the player...
the ache and the balm that heals it."
Both characters were interesting. It’s the whole romance between them that had me perplex. I felt there was a lot of sexual encounters that let’s face it were hot, but no real depth of feelings between them. Overall, Mogul was good, but I was expecting so much more!

My eyes lock on a third figure sitting with them. As I near, the man glances my way before quickly shifting his gaze. I continue to stare at him as I approach, and it doesn’t take long for his gaze to return to me. His large figure rises to full height as he stands to greet me, and I feel a bolt of electricity hit me in the chest as familiar eyes stare back at me.
He’s tall. Dark-haired. Gorgeous. With deep, thick-lashed eyes you want to sink into. And lips to suck on like they’re all that exists between you and heaven. I stop walking, stop breathing, because . . . he is here.
A moment passes and Bryn seems to notice my shock.
But shock doesn’t come close to it.
Because never in my whole life has my heart leapt so far and fast. It feels as if it’s ripping out of my chest. I can barely force my legs to move for fear of hearing my knees knock together. I struggle for air, but it feels like someone cut off my windpipe connecting my nose and lungs.
He wears a white dress shirt and black slacks, and his face is chiseled and brooding. The real shock lies in the intensity brewing in his dark eyes as they stay locked on mine. My heart speeds up as I hold his gaze. The city bustles around us. Making eye contact is not something I do often, living in a city of millions, but I can’t take my eyes off him.
The memory of having him inside me returns with a vengeance.
Bryn begins to introduce us. “Um. Ian, this is—”
“Sara. We’ve met,” Hot and Dirty Workaholic interrupts with a stiff smile.
Our eyes meet, and for a moment it feels like nothing else exists.
His name is Ian.
Fucking Ian, with his serious, handsome face and shiny, black hair. He’s as lit as I remember. Straight out of a Suits episode, and I am dying.
