From #1 Amazon bestselling author T L Swan, comes the seductive world of forbidden luxury, where nothing is as it seems. Welcome to the addiction that is Kings Of The Riviera

He was never meant to be anything more than a memory.

But now he’s back… and more magnetic than ever.

Three years after a secret weekend in the Swiss Alps, Alora Sorenson thought she’d completely moved on from the mysterious man who turned her world upside down. That is until Edward Prescott walks back into her life: richer, more powerful, and even harder to resist.

As the billionaire owner of the world’s largest casino empire, Edward is the definition of untouchable. He’s a dark, commanding force in a world of high society, luxury yachts, and ruthless enemies.

Alora prefers a serene and simple life, surrounded by antiques and vintage fashion.
She doesn’t belong in his world, and yet… she’s never stopped wanting him.

But behind his intoxicating charm lie hidden dangers, and in the shadows of the Riviera, will the past reemerge and destroy everything?

Secrets brought them together.

But will they also tear them apart?

Wow wow wow TL - you’ve done it again another stonking, heart stoping, funny and gut wrenching, emotional piece of writing. I started listening on my way home from holidays in italy and was still sitting up at 2 am this morning because I couldn’t stop listening till the last words were uttered. What an amazing heroine in Alora the wise cracks, the laugh out loud comments, the vulnerability and the courage of her character (yes, in another realm I want to come back in my next life as Alora) and Edward a flawed man battling his demons who finds his salvation in Alora. This so fantastically written that you are pulled along on rollercoaster and immersed in their love story. TL makes you feel each laugh, each tear, each emotion.
A special shout out for the Oscar winning performances of the 2 narrators - Shane East (love this man, he could read the telephone book and I’d sit there dory-eyes listening) and Victoria Connolly feisty great voice bringing every word alive) .
I discovered your books not so long ago and am steadily working my way through each one - but this has been my absolute favourite so far and I just have one bone to pick with you -why are you making us wait till feb 2027 for the sequel, I’m not sure I can bear waiting till then for the rest of Alora and Edwards’ story. Any chance you can bring the release forward? Please.

I love T L Swan’s books. Eagerly awaiting the next one when it is published. Part of the love is the humour, the banter between the main characters and the happy endings. We now have to wait until February 2027 to find out what happens next and if id know the book was going to end on such a grisly cliffhanger I would have waited until both books were out. Disappointed as it feels like a let down to me when I was hoping for the usual light and uplift the books usually bring.

Disappointed by ending

I absolutely love all things TL Swan, and I preordered this in anticipation of another 5 star book, however, I have DNF as the male narrator is just to shouty/agressive and over the top, I understand he is meant to be dominant and controlling however, the male narrator has completely missed the mark on this one and it has ruined it for me. The female narrator has nailed it, however, it's like two different books and it's hard to listen to them both together as a pair. However, I am not giving up as I know TL Swan does not disappoint, I am going to read the kindle version from scratch and hope that this book will come to life as it was meant too.

Male narrator made me DNF :(

Just finished it. And that ending...I'm not ok. Tee broke me (in best way possible) with Edward and Alora's story, and knowing now that l've to wait until next year to heal with them...I'm just not ok at the moment...

With The Heart You Kept Tee brought the best of her world: compulsory controlling, obsessive and possessive man, broken and unsteady with his feelings and emotions. Strong and fierce woman who won't agree just for bare minimum and is not afraid to fight for her love. On the way to reach final destination of their relationship, they will have to stand against the time between them, those who will try to break them, day to day struggles fight own insecurities and emotions, find own rhy thm and balance...

I loved the banter, sarcasm and whole Edward-Alora vibe. The way a laughed or just stood in the middle of doing sth while listening to the audiobook... Sean East and Victoria Connolly chefs kiss for their narrations loved every minute.
And the spice? Nothing less that I could expect from Tee's writing, finally someone who can equals in his needs to Joshua Stanton.

Wow what a great start to this series. I read the book but to have it read to me was so much more intense and exciting. I loved the two main characters and felt a real Stanton vibe with Edward.

Loved this book.
