Trust doesn’t come easy for NBA superstar, Hunter Graham, especially after his fiancée married his stepbrother. Vowing to be single for the rest of his life, women and gambling have become his favorite pastimes. But when Hunter learns of his stepbrother’s death, he’s forced to deal with the woman who crushed his soul. He wants nothing to do with her, but his heart won’t cooperate.
Viviana Connelly thought being blackmailed into marriage was the worst thing she could ever experience. Wrong. Coming face to face with the only man she’s ever loved, after betraying him, is like a punishment worse than death. Hunter hates her. She might’ve made peace with not having him in her life, but when they are unexpectedly thrown together, passion reignites and the flame between them burns hotter than ever.
Hunter refuses to let vicious accusations from the media, or the NBA’s claim of him having a gambling problem, keep him from a second chance with the woman he loves, but his gambling hobby might be the death of him…and Viviana too.
Will they ever get their happily ever after, or will the evil around them suffocate their love?
