About This Book
In "King of Sloth," the fourth installment of Ana Huang's Kings of Sin series, readers are introduced to Xavier Castillo, a charming and carefree billionaire heir with little interest in his family's business empire.

Their professional relationship is tested when a family tragedy forces them into closer proximity, leading to unexpected personal revelations.
As the story unfolds, Xavier confronts the looming deadline of his 30th birthday, which stipulates that he must assume a CEO position to inherit his family's fortune. With Sloane's guidance, he embarks on the ambitious project of establishing a successful nightclub, challenging his previous aversion to responsibility. Throughout this journey, the tension between their contrasting personalities—Xavier's easygoing nature and Sloane's driven demeanor—evolves into a deep and passionate connection.
