Misaligned: Prequel: Counterplay

By Elizabeth Burgess

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Millicent Douglas can't resist two things in life: good revenge and hot sex. She discovers her ticket to both in Missouri. Her heart may be closed to love, but that doesn't mean she can't have some fun along the way. Stephen Mullins, creator of a black market organ scheme known as "The Operation," can't afford additional risk in his life, personal or professional. But when cardiothoracic surgeon, Millie Douglas, walks into his office, he realizes some chances are worth taking. As the son of Millie's ex-husband, Nash Douglas knows the odds are stacked against him to win her heart. Regardless, nothing will keep him from being the most trustworthy friend she's ever had. His strategy is simple: remain a constant part of her life, and eventually she'll see his devotion. All of Nash's plans get turned upside down when Millie comes home from a business trip, enamored with Mullins. Nash fears he's lost the only woman he's ever loved. The stakes are high as Millie involves herself and Nash in a plan to get even, but once they walk down that road, there will be no coming back. Power. Money. Revenge. Sex. Murder. Begin the saga that's hailed as Game of Thrones meets General Hospital. Your move.
