He's playing a dangerous game. She just changed all the rules.

Sebastian

I'm one of the best in the game... slick, sharp, and heartless when I need to be. Feelings? Not part of the plan. Every person I meet is a potential payday, and I never forget that.

Until Mayella.

The moment I see her, something shifts. She's beautiful, sure. But it's more than that. She's kind. Real. The kind of woman a guy like me should never get near unless he's after something.

And I am. Or...I was. Now I'm not sure if I'm running the con or if I'm falling for it.

Mayella

My instincts are usually spot-on, especially when it comes to men. So why does Sebastian make my radar short-circuit? He's charming, attentive, and maybe too good to be true. But I want to believe he's the real thing.

What I don't know is that the man sitting across from me has a secret. One that could shatter everything. And when someone I trust turns against us, it's not just my heart on the line... it's his life.
