Book 1 is INTO HIS DARK…

A new adventure…

Camellia “Cam” Saxon struggles not to pinch herself. Is she really here, as a guest in the castle of the world’s most mysterious royal family, working on the only western

film crew allowed on the island of Arcadia? A year ago, she was the girl who finished college with a sigh instead of a bang, moving on to a safe job and a steady suburban routine without a blink.

Until she receives a call from a film graduate buddy that will change everything.

A dangerous desire…

Cam’s excitement turns to dread inside one instant–as soon as she lays eyes on Evrest Cimarron. Beautiful, chiseled, commanding, and regal, he turns her logic into ash and her blood into fire–making it damn near impossible to remember the crown on his head.

As an Arcadian alone, Evrest must be thrust onto Cam’s don’t-even-go-there column. As the leader of the kingdom, he must also be the face on her delete key–a fantasy never to be fed…ever.

A journey to the forbidden…

A mishap lands Cam in Evrest’s most secret chambers, surrounded by luxury beyond imagination–and seduced by a creature who is no longer charming host and alluring king but powerful, passionate man–who craves nothing but her in his arms. Beneath Evrest’s touch, Cam learns she has new identities, too, The sensible girl is abandoned for a woman of dark and sinful desires

It’s the most incredible night of her life. The most perfect man she’s known. The most flawless fit for her soul.

A mistake she can never make again.

My first thoughts about Into His Dark (The Cimarron Series #1) by Angel Payne were, that it felt like something out ouf a fairytale. A little touch of mystery, a little Beauty and the Beast, adding a touch of Hollywood and all of this in the setting of an island. So yes this is a great summer holiday novel

Think the opulence of historical romance but its contemporary (even if you sometimes wonder how that can be – given the storyline). Think Wizzard of Oz without the red shoes. Think Phantom of the Opera without the music. Gosh I have so many thoughts swirling in my mind.  This is such a different book from others. I would not even know with what kind of novel to compare it.

In any normal case I might have been annoyed with the slow pace and writing style but with this storyline it worked beautifully
