Vivienne Cartwright can have anything she wants in life except for the man that she loves.
She chases it only to find herself crashing down after an ultimate high.
Oliver Yates doesn’t seem to be the man she’s loved all these years and his secrets are as dangerous as they are heartbreaking.
Time and distance may heal her but they can’t free her.
Securing a future with Vivienne will cost Oliver his soul, a price too high for the girl who’d saved it years ago when tragedy nearly ripped it away from him. Without anything else to offer but the mere scraps left to himself, Oliver makes one last bargain to win back the women who became everything out of his nothing.
With the stakes higher than they ever were and the rules of the game changing as they go all in, will these two find their way back or will a mysterious hand tear them apart forever?
The second book in the “Cobalt Bay Billionaires Series”
Author of Virtue and Vice and The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield
I started writing when I didn't like the way some of my Sweet Valley books ended. I rewrote them. Before I knew it, I was writing my own stories, handing them out to my friends in class. They were written on spiral notebooks with a sturdy pencil. I still have most of them to this day.
While I enjoy many books, I write romance. Currently, I'm writing New Adult romance. I write highly-opinionated but often innocent heroines who face off infuriating but irresistible alpha males. They might be sometimes sprinkled with a touch of a fairy tale.
