About this ebook

No one knows how new members are selected to the board of Hale Banking and Holding. But there are rumors of a sordid rite of initiation.


Whispers how one woman and nine men disappear into a boardroom.


This time, that woman will be me.


The Hale family owns everything—the eighth largest bank in the world, everyone in our town, even the mortgage on my parents’ mansion. And now Royce Hale wants to own me.


He is charming. Seductive. Ruthless. But above all, he’s the prince of lies. My body may tighten with white-hot desire under his penetrating gaze, but I refuse to enjoy it.


I’ll make a deal with the devil to save my family and sell myself to the Hales. But Royce will never own my heart.

I've read all 3 books in this specific series and honestly, I loved it so much. It was hard for me to get through some of the 'power struggle' between father, and son. But I powered through it, and I'm so happy that I did. It is definitely worth a read. I didn't put it down for days, because I was just so lost in it. Beautifully written, and wonderfully put together. Non of it felt rushed, even towards the ending like most stories do. 10/10 I would definitely recommend.

This is the first book I've read by the author but it definitely won't be the last. I can't even put into words how much I loved this book. The plot is full of suspense and twist all the way to the end. The love story was great. The initiation was archaic and creepy yet hot. The dad gives a whole new meaning to "by all means possible" you have to give it a try.

OM Freaking GOD!!!! I can’t believe she did that!! Nikki how could you leave us just hanging like that??? This book? It was beyond what I was expecting and having been written by Nikki Sloane you know it’s gonna be something! But, this. The Initiation was… out of this world. I loved it. Every decedent, filthy sexy minute of it. Or, well most of it. Macalister Hale was a creepy, dirty old man whom I want to hurt, very, very badly. Thankfully he wasn’t the male lead here, that award fell to his oldest son Royce. Royce and Marist were the perfect pairing in this edgy, angsty, hot story. They both come from wealthy families, but whilst Royce’s is at the top of the pecking order, Marist’s family is hiding a secret, one she ends up baring the brunt of. Machinations, lies and betrayals abound in this book and just when you think they have reached the worst and the end is nigh, so you can relax your way to a happy ending! That happens! I can’t tell you what, that is but I will say I was on the edge of my seat for the last 10% of the story, praying for a different outcome from what seemed to be zooming down the barrel of a ‘novel’s’ shotgun at me. I’m stunned and shocked, utterly shocked, in fact. I don’t want this ending. I can’t take it. Royce seemed so, so… genuine when he was with Marist, but he warned her. He warned us all!!! I just wanna curl up and cry it out. So, that’s what I’m going to do, and pray the next book gets here soon and maybe, just maybe puts me out of my misery.
