Emmie Slayde is an intelligent, independent, self sufficient woman with a deep mistrust of men. Although good fortune has smiled upon Emmie in a way few can understand, personal trials and tribulations have plagued her. Fate has proven just how cruel it can be especially when it comes to the opposite sex.
Donovan Richman, an old flame, dangerous and deceitful. A regrettable not so chance encounter and a point Emmie now wishes she had never tried to prove. Fixated and refusing to take No for an answer, he sends Emmie's life spinning rapidly out of control.
Gil Cabrera is a Detective with the Alabama Bureau of Investigations. Emmie's unintentional new best friend? or another kind of trouble? Gil is the kind of man it's hard to take your eyes off of and Emmie is finding the electricity in their connection overwhelming. Emmie's whole world has been turned upside down and now working perhaps a little too closely with Gil only confuses her more.
It's a dangerous game of cat and mouse and Emmie Slayde is about to reach her boiling point in more ways than one. It's easy to go all in when you have nothing to lose but fate still has a card to play and for Emmie the stakes could mean her life.
