There are three things I want from my life: adventure, freedom, and excitement.
I’m on my way to achieving them as well, having packed up my life to travel.
But then I see him … the man with the haunted eyes.
Cole Ashford intrigues me from the moment I meet him. He isn’t supposed to be a part of my plan, yet for some insane reason, I want to be the reason his life has meaning again.
So I make him a bet he can’t refuse.
The only problem is one bet is never enough, and the stakes are increasing with every wager. My heart was never supposed to be on offer, yet I’m starting to wonder if I’ve put it in danger.
Cole
I’m drawn to Alaya Matthews’ love of life.
I know allowing her to be my light is selfish, but I can’t resist the first person to make me feel more than hollowness in seven years.
With one bet she has me hooked. It doesn’t matter continuing our game makes her vulnerable to a dark world … I want her.
However, my tainted past is catching up with me and my secrets can’t stay hidden forever. It’s forcing me to choose between leaving the best thing to happen to me or clinging to it and risking both our lives.
I know what I should do, but I can’t let go.
*Now includes a bonus, extended epilogue, which was previously only available to newsletter subscribers.*

Excerpt
He shook his head in despair. “I’m beginning to think I made
a mistake trying to save you. You’re not going to make my life easy, are you?”
I clutched my hands to my chest, giving him my best
dreamy-eyed swoon. “Aww, you were trying to save me. You’re so sweet! And for
the record, no, I’m not going to make your life easy. But hey,” I shrugged, “it
was your choice. You could always save me by boxing him against the window and
leaving me in peace.”
“Oh really? Maybe I’ll just go to the toilet instead and
leave you to fend for yourself.” He kicked one leg out into the aisle, moving
to stand. When his body shifted, it gave me another glimpse of the
greasy-haired man who watched us from the corner of his eye and reached for his
bag, as if ready to pounce as soon as Hazel … uh, Cole moved.
Throwing away all self-respect, I reached out and grabbed
his wrist. “No!”
He sniggered and collapsed back against the seat with a
smirk. “So you do need saving.”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re cruel.”
“Sweetheart, you don’t know me, remember? Don’t sound so
surprised.”
My jaw dropped at his words and my gaze shifted nervously
around the carriage. Maybe I was better off taking my chances with the other
guy. I swallowed hard.
“I’m not your sweetheart.”
“Would you prefer it if I called you Ice Queen or Gingernut
instead? Because I didn’t think those would go over as well.”
