One Cruel Night
Publisher Description
A heart-stopping sexy contemporary romance prequel to USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde's new Cruel Trilogy.
I spot the mysterious stranger across the party.
I’d seen him in the park, writing furiously in his worn leather notebook.
He’s pure confidence, born and bred in high society with eyes like a hawk—observant, cunning, and wicked. With sensual lips and a body made to worship, he’s exquisite. A work of art.
While I’m young, innocent, and completely out of my depth.
But I’m drawn to him. Captivated by his approach. When he asks for one night, I have only one word for him.
Yes.
One summer in Paris. One night with him. One cruel night.
NOTE: One Cruel Night is a prequel and can be read before or after Cruel Money.

4.5stars—the perfect stranger
4.5 stars--ONE CRUEL NIGHT is the introductory novella in K.A. Linde’s contemporary, adult CRUEL erotic, romance series focusing on Penn Kensington, and Natalie Bishop.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Penn and Natalie) ONE CRUEL NIGHT reveals some of the history and background wherein our heroine Natalie Bishop will meet Penn Kensington, on her last night in Paris, France. Following a whirlwind night of romance and $ex, our heroine wakes up to an empty bed, and an empty apartment, having lost her virginity to the ‘perfect’ stranger. Fast forward six years at which point, wanna-be author Natalie struggles to find a place in the world.
ONE CRUEL NIGHT sets the tone for K.A.Linde’s contemporary, adult CRUEL romance series that follows the rekindling relationship between our leading couple. The premise is inviting; the characters are colorful and magnetic; the romance is a one-night seduction of our heroine’s heart.
