Cash: A Steamy Fake Fiancé Romance: A Power Players Stand-Alone Novel

Then she stole his heart. 

It was too tempting to pass up. 

A suitcase full of cash. A new identity already burning a hole in my wallet. 

So I did it. I took the money and ran.

I had no idea the money belonged to a king of the Las Vegas underworld.

And I definitely wasn’t prepared for what he would do to get it back.

***

I knew I shouldn’t have let a drug addict ex-grunt pick up that suitcase, even if he was my best friend. 

I should never have agreed to be the one to get the suitcase back.

Then I wouldn’t have met Izzy Lake and fallen for her bad fake accent, her beauty, and her raw vulnerability.

If I don’t get that suitcase back in eight days, I’ll be spending the rest of my life behind bars.

I need that suitcase. But I need her more.

I remember everything about the night of our anniversary: The briny smell at the waterfront as Jack and I made love under the stars… The gentle lavender-scented breeze lifting the hairs around my face as I walked up the path toward our front door… The lingering odor of gun smoke...

Jack and I had everything. Then in one brutal instant, the universe tilted on its side, discarding us into black nothingness.

Now Jack is obsessed with revenge, and I’m desperate to leave the night of our anniversary behind me. When we’re not fighting, the only way we communicate is in the bedroom. 

With nothing left to lose, I write a goodbye letter and head for my mother’s empty house, three hours away from Jack, where I quickly meet a neighbor who helps me find a job.

My new neighbor—handsome ex-soldier Isaac Evans—is complicated. Nevertheless, we form a fast friendship, bonding over a mutual desire to create something beautiful from the wreckage of our lives.

But despite the distance between us, Jack and I are still trying to make things work—fighting and playing dirtier than ever. And he doesn’t appreciate my new friendship with Isaac. Not one damn bit.

She promised she wouldn't intervene, that her loyalty was to her family, not me. But she did it anyway.

Now everything is different. I can feel it with every kiss, every time she's underneath me. This isn't a meaningless fling anymore.

It's so much more.

I know it...and she knows it.
