Some people need love…
I need sex, money, control, and power.
Anyone could have those four things, but only one could have VIP. Becoming Madam was never a choice for me, it was a mandated order from the most powerful woman I knew- my mother. I was born to fill her shoes, never to make mistakes, or to show weakness.
You are the product of your environment. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; you learn from what you see, not from what you're told. Nature vs. Nurture. I learned from it all; what I saw, what I didn't see, what I was told, and from reading between the lines.
I was raised with the belief that the world spun ONLY because of me. I held power as far back as I can remember, saw things no one ever talks about, and witnessed illegal acts of sex, drugs, and money by the time I was eighteen.
You saw a glimpse of me in VIP, now see it from the beginning. Enter my world where anything goes; no judgments, no remorse, no guilt. You play by my rules, or you don’t play at all. There are no limits to what I can do, or to what I can show you…I will ensure my legacy my any means necessary.
My name is Lilith Veronica Stone, and I am The Madam.

** Available May 19th 2014! **
I couldn’t wait for this release because I didn’t like The Madam AT ALL in VIP & this book hasn’t really changed my mind BUT it has given me more of an understanding of what’s made her what she is & what motivates her, why she is how she is.
Madam was raised literally from birth to be how she is, to micro manage every facet of her life, never to depend on anybody else & never ever show weakness, if I don’t like The Madam then I utterly despise her mother.
She has a side to her that I admire, her ability to see herself for exactly what she is, not to sugar coat anything, she doesn’t lie or trick people, she’s upfront about what she’s doing (well mostly)!
However, she does make some pretty dubious decisions in this book and they have serious repercussions for those around her and it didn’t really endear me to her & just when I was beginning to soften towards her ~ right at the end of the book ~ BAM, she starts calculating again for her own ends. grrrrr.
This is a must read, it answers lots of questions from VIP and has set us up beautifully for book 3, I’m hooked and completely invested in these characters now, well played M. Robinson!

**Before you read The Madam, be sure and read book 1: VIP**
32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious boat. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving childhood with only a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried.
Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her ensuring her success as a VIP.
There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.
