Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined.  With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:  

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

SYNOPSIS

Book #5 of the bestselling Consequences series
From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes more of the suspenseful romantic thriller about secrets and deception, passion and love, choices and consequences.

Secrets and deception
As the pieces of their puzzle come together, Anthony and Claire Rawlings continue to defy the odds. Together they overcame an incomprehensible beginning. Apart they endured unimaginable heartache. Reunited with family and friends, their journey continues as they navigate a dangerous world where secrets threaten to destroy what they hold the most dear.

Passion and love
Tony and Claire turn up the heat as sparks fly, passion rages, and love prevails. With only a dark glance or devilish grin, the fire that sparked in an isolated suite, continues to burn. Though no longer willing to be less than Tony’s equal in life, behind closed doors only one man makes the rules.
Choices and consequences

The safety of the Rawlings family is not debatable, and only Phillip Roach can assure that they are not disappointed. Learn how he leads old friends and new associates through the dangerous world of delusion and revenge. The choices he makes for both the family and his personal life will have consequences.

Beyond the Consequences is a novel that began as the novella, A Peek Beyond the Consequences, in a limited-release anthology, Breathless. Since its publication in 2014, Beyond the Consequences has more than quadrupled in length with more action, heat, and secrets to reveal. Learn once and for all the identity and fate of the sender of the Rawls-Nichols letters as you join the Rawlings for a special surprise!

Theirs was a long, complicated story with a monster and a knight. What made their story unique was that these two players were the same person.—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED

Beyond the Consequences by Aleatha Romig

Spoiler-free review

This series NEVER GETS OLD. Aleatha Romig can keep writing about Tony and Claire forever, and I would never get bored with this series.  This story just keeps getting better and better. As this series unfolds, Romig manages to breathe new life into this sizzling plot without skipping a beat.

In Beyond The Consequences, Tony & Claire’s story picks up in December 2016 and chronicles their lives up until August 2018.   Their complicated and complex love story changed so much. The Rawlings family dynamics changed, and their love evolved. Tony is a loving father and doting husband.  Claire fell into her chosen role as a loving mother and wife.  She yearns to put all of the pieces of her life back together as she missed so much during her breakdown.  She is still heavily medicated and wants to “feel” again.  The Rawlings family is still on high security after additional mailed threats have been received.  There are consequences for those that choose to mess around with the Rawlings family. As their security grows tighter, the family seems to get closer and bigger…and that’s all I’m going to say…because I’m not going to give new plot elements away!

This is mandaTONY reading for Consequences series fans. Romig is a master story dispenser of kindle crack, and I am one of her biggest buyers. This book and this series should be auto-downloaded. Don’t forget to read Revealed: The Missing Years (Book #4).

Blurb:
I play the role well.
The grieving widow is new, but I can do it: shaking hands, sad smiles, even a tear or two when necessary.
The acting isn't new. I've been doing it my whole life.
The truth is too painful to reveal, too upsetting for those around me. They don't want to see who I truly am... what I truly am. 

They don't want to know I'm a killer.

Synopsis:
THE MISSING YEARS is the final piece to Aleatha Romig’s CONSEQUENCES SERIES puzzle. Follow the twists and turns as secrets are revealed, consequences are delivered, and the future is shown. 

In CONVICTED we saw what happened that fateful afternoon at the Rawlings Estate. Now experience the shocking repercussions firsthand. More than a companion, this full-length novel fills in the gap of time that was only mentioned, beginning when Claire Nichols forgets and seen through the eyes of 
collective men (the HIS is plural). 

In THE MISSING YEARS, readers will see Anthony Rawlings fight for what belongs to him and cope with the reality of his past. Watch as Harrison Baldwin discovers the truth that threatens his beliefs, and as 

John Vandersol comes to terms with his revelations. Witness Phillip Roach, as he decides with whom his loyalties lay, and Brent Simmons, as he demonstrates the meaning of friendship—no matter the cost. 

As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED goes beyond. This final installment of the series offers a glimpse into the future of the lives that will forever be changed 
because there was a man who...

Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.

BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED also contains a complete glossary of characters and a timeline that covers the entire series. If you have read New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig’s CONSEQUENCES, 

TRUTH, and CONVICTED, you must learn the rest of the story: BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED: THE MISSING YEARS!




Tony

You never find yourself until you face the truth. 

—Pearl Bailey

Judge Temple interjected, “Let me get this straight: it’s believed that Mrs. Rawlings’ current mental state 

was caused by previous injury or possibly a very stressful situation?”

“Yes,” Jane replied.

“Are both options viable?”

“Yes,” she said again.

Turning toward Tony, the judge asked, “Mr. Rawlings, in the best interest of your family, though you are 

not under oath, I’m expecting a truthful answer. Do you know how Mrs. Rawlings received the initial and most 

severe injury to her brain that is evident on the medical scans?”

“Judge, my client does not need to answer that question,” Brent interjected.

“Counselor, I need the facts to make my decision. Mr. Rawlings, I’m waiting.”

The rush of blood to his face made Tony feel faint. Maintaining the eye contact he’d demanded of Claire 

in the past, Tony gazed only at the judge. “Yes, I do.”

“There is a sensationalized bestselling book on the market right now that claims to have been narrated by 

your wife. Are you aware of this book?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Have you read the book?”

Tony stoically replied, “No, I have not.”

“Were you aware that you’re mentioned in this book?”

“Judge, where is this going?” Brent asked.

“Counselor, I want to hear your client’s answer. Mr. Rawlings, were you the cause of that brain injury? 

Did you harm your wife?”

Tony turned toward John and Emily. “I’m not proud of the things I’ve done in the past, and I would never 

do them again. I would do anything to have never behaved as I did. You need to know that this time things were 

different.”

“Mr. Rawlings...” Judge Temple’s voice deepened, “...while we’re not in a courtroom, I will still hold you 

in contempt if you avoid another of my direct questions. Did you cause your wife grievous bodily harm in 2010?”

“Tony, don’t answer this,” Brent urged.

“Grievous?” Tony asked.

“Did you wound her with intent?”

“I didn’t intend to harm her. It just...”

Tony’s words faded, tears descended Emily’s cheeks, as the small room buzzed with silence. 

“Mr. Rawlings,” Judge Temple continued, “are the things in Ms. Banks’ book based on fact?”

“I haven’t read her book.”

“How did Mrs. Rawlings first come to live at your house, in 2010?”

Tony looked toward Brent and then remembering the judge’s statement about contempt, he replied, “I’d 

rather not answer that question.”

“Oh my God,” Emily breathed under her breath, “you’re a monster.”

Synopsis:
BEHIND HIS EYES – CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such. This companion was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BHE- Consequences contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before read, behind the scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters and a timeline devoted to the events within Consequences. BEHIND HIS EYES CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes that he controls everything and controls nothing.

Because there is more to learn about a man who:

Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig CONVICTED

It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

Convicted by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Open Note to Hollywood Producers, Directors, Screen Writers and Cable TV Show Executives:

Are you looking for the next big thing to green light? The Consequences series by Aleatha Romig is IT.  I don’t think I could write a review worthy of this series.  Aleatha Romig is pure genius.  Consequences (books 1 -3) will blow your mind, twist your stomach, keep you on the edge of your seat…and just when you think you have it all figured out… BOOM.

Consequences is the ultimate psychological thriller.  Romig writes some of the best Kindle Crack I have ever had the pleasure of reading.  If it were possible to get paper cuts from speed turning pages on my Kindle I would need a blood transfusion.

Someone needs to option Consequences for a TV cable series…I can’t wait to see it come to life as a show. That is all.

BLURB:
There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!
When Claire Nichols met Anthony Rawlings, she didn’t know they had a past, or that he had plans for her future. Over time, the role of teacher changed—games became reality—and domination turned to desire. Despite an insurmountable history, Claire and Tony found their way back to one another.
Just when they seemed to have it all—love, respect, and the promise of a family—the game master exposed the truth. Claire’s world once again spun out of control. Unwilling to allow her child to suffer the consequences of an old vendetta, Claire fled...
At one time, Claire was held captive in an opulent mansion—then her incarceration was a cell inside a state penitentiary. Was her new prison—a tropical island—truly less lonely? Perhaps that was the game master’s plan, all along?
Who will save Claire from her oldest nightmare and her newest reality? Will it be Tony? Can he forgive her for leaving him—again? Harry? Will he utilize previously unknown connections to save the woman who infiltrates his thoughts? Maybe Phil? Will his devotion in keeping Claire and her child safe be rewarded?
As the cards are played—sins of the past, innocent victims, and truths are revealed. With compartmentalization no longer an option, is the reality too much? Could there be an even worse isolation?
With the game master dealing from a stacked deck, can this new high-stakes game possibly be won?
When it’s all over and their cards are on the table—SOME will discover their bets were too high—they have nothing left to lose—ALL will learn the crucial lesson—the most important rule—there are CONSEQUENCES for the TRUTH!
