“I’m going along with your plan because you’ve given me no choice, but I am not sleeping with you, Nathan Reed. ”

His heavy brows rose in response to her declaration. “I hadn’t planned on seducing you. ” Nate stood up and rounded the coffee table. He leaned over her, trapping her between the long length of his arms.

Annie eased back into the couch, but there wasn’t anywhere else to go. She could only breathe in his cologne and remember that same scent on her pillows as she’d slept in this very suite. Back then, Nate had had the ability to play her body like a musical instrument he’d studied his whole life. She’d never been with another man who could bring her pleasure like he had. What they had had was explosive. Mind-blowing.

The closer he came to her, the more she wondered if that connection had severed during their time apart. It didn’t feel like it.

To My Awesome Editor, Shana Smith—

Thank you for rescuing me and this book from

the slush pile and seeing us for the diamonds in the

(very) rough that we were. Even when this story didn’t

seem like it would work out, you didn’t give up on it

or my ability to make it shine.

You may not know this,

but when you found me, I was on the verge of giving

up and I’m so glad I didn’t. You have quite literally

changed my life and I can’t send enough cookies

and cupcakes to thank you for it.

Nate smiled. Like a moth to a flame, Annie had walked right into his trap. He knew she couldn’t pass up the chance to play at his poker tournament, even if it meant returning to the scene of the crime. As the owner and manager of the Desert Sapphire Hotel and Casino, it was easy to have Annie red-flagged by his security team. The moment she strolled back in to his casino he knew it.

“We have visual confirmation. She’s on her way to the high-roller area. ” Gabriel Hansen, his chief of security, lifted his hand to his earpiece and listened intently for a moment before nodding in confirmation. “She’s joined the Texas Hold’em game with Mr. Nakimori and Mr. Kline. ”
