What happens when the man you fall for isnโt who he says he is? As games are played and disguises are shed in this intriguing story, more than hearts are at stake for a man who toys with othersโ emotions.
Meet Marcel, Camden, and Julian. Theyโre all experts at the same game, but each in his own way: Marcel has perfected the art of first impressions and can charm a woman out of her clothes with his hypnotic gaze and dazzling smile; Camden is master of the million-dollar image, donning designer labels and driving exotic cars; and Julian is the king of romanceโ heโll pen poetic verses, send a woman flowers, and bathe her by candlelight until sheโs drowning in notions of love. Any woman would dream of having one of these men in her life. But what happens when that perfect man turns out to be someone elseโa perpetrator named Avery Woodson? Things arenโt always as they seem.
Posing as Marcel, Camden, and Julian, Avery has been playing games with women for years. To him theyโre entertainment and nothing more. Predictable. Interchangeable. Expendable. Avery enjoys the challenge of collecting hearts, and after each acquisition he pursues an even greater conquestโuntil he meets Indiya Spencer. He soon finds it hard to toy with Indiya the way he does other women and discovers that heโs not immune to falling for someone. As Avery slips deeper emotionally and falls prey to Indiyaโs wiles, it becomes apparent that sheโs hiding her own dark secrets. The perpetrator has finally met his match and stands to lose more than just his heartโhe might just get consumed by the flames.
