Lacie finds herself in a dangerous game when her stepfather offers her as an ante in a high-stakes poker game. but when she meets erik, a sexy and unexpected ally, things take an unexpected turn. erik is just as angry at her stepfather as she is, and their chemistry is off the charts. as erik offers to take care of her and make her his own, lacie must decide if she's ready to trust an older man with her heart. will she take a chance on love or let the sins of her past keep her from finding true happiness? this is book two of my taboo series. it's a trope-heavy, slightly dubious love story with a guaranteed happily ever after and is sure to leave you hot and bothered. it's a standalone story that doesn't have to be read with any of the others and doesn't necessarily interact with any of the other stories in the series. come to the dark side and find out what makes us love these naughty tropes so much!
