    About this ebook

    It was just a harmless lap dance at a Halloween party

    A fun game with a sexy stranger

    Nothing more 

    But unlike other men, Anthony made me feel things

    Which makes him the most dangerous of all

    He doesn't know that I promised myself I'd never fall in love again—love almost killed me

    He believes he can have me… and will do anything to make me his…

    His intentions appear to be true, and it's becoming harder to resist him every day

    But I can't shake the feeling that I'm nothing more than a means to an end...

    ...a pawn in a game that has me trapped between loyalty to myself and loyalty to a dream I gave up long ago.
