The Playboy's Dangerous Bet

“For two years, Olivia Mercer believed she had the perfect relationship. Her fiancé, Ben Alden, is every woman's dream: gentle, patient, and willing to respect her vow to wait until their wedding night. Until a towering stranger in a black coat corners her and slides a single note across her table exposing the sick truth. Her 'perfect' fiancé actually belongs to another woman: Roxy Laurent. And the man who delivered the note is ten times more dangerous. Klaus Vance, the stranger who shattered her safe life is six-foot-three of pure, unapologetic sin. Scarred, cold-hearted, and terrifyingly powerful, he rules the city's darkest corners with an iron fist. Klaus doesn't do love, he doesn't do mercy, and he never loses a bet. When Roxy offers him a priceless family heirloom in exchange for taking the one thing Ben hasn't touched Olivia's virginity, Klaus accepts the challenge without blinking. He expects an easy conquest. He doesn't expect the quiet, fiercely stubborn woman who fights him at every turn while setting his blood on fire. What starts as a wicked wager soon turns into something far deeper and more volatile. Caught in a game of revenge, Olivia is trapped between the con man whose ring is still on her finger, and the seductive devil who swears he won't stop until she begs him to ruin her... no matter the cost.
