ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 9, 2025

I wrote a revenge list about my boss and accidentally handed it to my new CEO. Then I accidentally slept with that billionaire CEO. You’d think things couldn’t get any worse, but spoiler alert: they absolutely did.

Let me explain.

That revenge list was supposed to be private—the kind you write after three margaritas and burn in the morning. And that wild weekend with a gorgeous stranger? Definitely wasn’t on my to-do list. (Though maybe it should’ve been, because… wow.)

Watching him stride onto our company stage as the new CEO Monday morning wasn’t part of the plan either.

Now I’m trapped in the world’s most dangerous forbidden workplace romance, where every heated glance reminds me of what those hands can do. And Jace (Mr. CEO) won’t stop until he exposes the truth—unaware that his best friend is the one behind my list, and a man hiding secrets that could bring down an empire.

The question isn’t whether this will blow up in our faces.

It’s who will lose more when it does…

REVIEW:POWER is the second instalment in Kathy Lockheart’s contemporary, adult SINNERS AND SAINTS erotic, romantic suspense series. This is billionaire businessman Jace Lockwood, and Scarlett West’s story line. POWER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: The Sinners and Saints, is a group formed by childhood/college best friends, each with a speciality and a darkness that is required to save and protect the people they love: Ryker, Blake, Axel, Jace and Knox.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Scarlett and Jace) POWER focuses on several intersecting pathways. Scarlett West is up for promotion but the man in charge is demanding something in return. A weekend with a stranger ends when Scarlett discovers her fantasy man is the new CEO of the company for which she works, a man who is struggling with his forbidden attraction. But as the harassment continues, Scarlett discovers Jace Lockwood’s connection, and refuses to reveal the truth. Jace is determined to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love but his protection will come at a cost, possibly to both of their lives.

The world building focuses on workplace sexual harassment and threats; the lack of transparency and any true HR support, and of one woman’s determination not to become a victim of the corporate power.

The relationship between Jace and Scarlett is one of the forbidden but neither was originally aware of their mutual connections, a connection that will threaten both of their jobs going forward. As Scarlett struggles to keep her job, Jace is searching for a way to move forward, together. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The charismatic secondary and supporting characters include the return of the Sinners and Saints group: Ryker, Dr. Blake Morrison (and Tessa) and Axel; Scarlett’s best friend Dakota Blackwood, and Jace’s friend Marcus.

POWER is a story of power and control, influence and deception, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic,edgy and gritty; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 4, 2022

Jett Powers is brilliant, nasty, and forbidden.

He takes what he wants, has no regrets, and makes no excuses.

Not to mention he’s tall, dark, and irresistible.

From our first secret encounter, I’m addicted.

He’s the last man that should be making my stomach flip, and heart pound.

Unfortunately, my mind and body are not in sync.

Because Mr. Powers is not mine.

He can’t be.

He’s my mother’s fiancé.

REVIEW: POWER by Cassandra Robbins is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line-a part of the multi-authored BLURRED LINES series. This is forty year old, high-powered attorney Jett Powers, and nineteen year old, college student Raven Stewart’s story line. Some of the events of POWER cross over with some of the events of FORCE (Disciples MC 5) where Jett Powers is first introduced.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jett and Raven) POWER follows the age-gap romance and forbidden relationship between is forty year old, high-powered attorney Jett Powers, and nineteen year old, college student Raven Stewart. Jett Powers is engaged to Rachel, a witch of a woman, and her nineteen year old daughter Raven will be vacationing with the couple for the summer but Jett’s immediate attraction to Raven is visceral, and within hours Jett has claimed our heroine for himself. Jett Powers considers himself a monster; not worthy of love or affection, and his relationship with Rachel is predicated upon mutual understanding and public power but something about Raven stirs deep within our story line hero, something that is about to destroy the young woman he refuses to love. What ensues is the building and forbidden relationship between Jett and Raven, and the fall-out when their affair is discovered, and Jett pushes Raven out of his life.

Rachel is a woman who should have never had children, and her treatment of Raven is bordering on abusive. Raven knows her attraction her mother’s fiance is wrong on so many levels but as she slowly succumbs to Jett’s power, it is her heart that will be destroyed in the end.

The relationship between Jett and Raven is highly sexual, predicated upon a need to control, a relationship in which Raven will fall for a man who refuses to love. Jett Powers is often vulgar, a beast of a man, who constantly pushes the envelope of control, forcing Raven to run to protect her sanity. The $ex scenes are numerous, erotic, and provocative.

We are introduced to Raven’s best friend Cher, and her wanna-be boyfriend Brody, as well as Raven’s mother Rachel, Jett’s PA Rebecca, his driver/security Iain, and Rachel’s assistant Maria. I was a little concerned with the number of names beginning with the letter R-Rachel, Rebecca and Raven-it was a little confusing at times, and I had to re-read a several passages trying to refresh my recent memory about who was whom 😉

POWER is a story of power and control, obsession and infatuation, $ex and determination, heart break and love. The premise is raw and impassioned-a good portion of the story line focuses on the sexual relationship between our leading couple; the romance is sensual yet controlling; the characters are desperate and broken.
