#Synopsis: It's all a game until they're betting with their lives.

Alaya Matthews is in search of freedom. Tired of her mundane life, she packs everything she owns into two bags and heads for Europe. Her plan is simple: see the world and be adventurous, don't get tied down, don't settle for less than her heart's desires, and never fall in love.

However, Alaya didn't plan for Cole Ashford.

Drawn to her love of life, Cole wants to know how to live again. For seven years he's been dead inside, and the numerous threats hanging over his head have finally caught up with him. What Cole doesn't realise is accepting Alaya's help will mean confronting every part of his tainted past. Alaya is desperate to know what haunts him, and she's so certain he'll reveal it she invents a bet he can't refuse.

One is never enough though, and as they grow closer together, the more daring their wagers become. Neither of them will back down from a challenge, but the stakes are being raised. Gambling on Cole may cost Alaya her heart, or even worse, her life.

#Synopsis: What happens when you’re attracted to the wrong person?

AIDEEN

I didn't expect to feel so drawn to my best friend’s father when I first meet him.

It’s unexplainable and most of all, it’s unexpected. He drinks too much, is rough around the edges, and is so obviously into casual sex and nothing more, but there’s just something about him that calls out to me.

I’ve thought my heart was battered beyond repair, but maybe I have been wrong.

"There was something so sexual, so carnal, so intense in the way Jensen looked at me.’’

JENSEN

She is my son’s best friend and I know he wants more, but I can't help it. Whenever she is around or her name is mentioned I’m turned on. I’m not used to denying myself to feeling so strongly for a woman so young, but she gets me.

I can’t do a damn thing to stop these feelings.

No amount of alcohol helps.

I didn’t think it could be possible to feel so drawn to a woman, but it looks like I have been dead wrong.

"I want her to want me just as madly as I do her.’’

They shouldn’t and yet…

They can’t resist each other.
