Tall, handsome, and successful in his own right, Derek Hill is dealing with some serious relationship problems as well.

I know exactly why it turns you on . . . because you're messed up too.
Asha's life is no fairytale, by any stretch of the imagination. There was no kind, generous father to care for and protect her from the Vegas that exists beyond the glitz and glamour of The Strip. No wise, doting mother to look over and guide her, passing down essential lessons and leading her to the right path. And certainly, no Prince Charming just around the corner, ready to rescue her from working late nights to cover steadily mounting bills.
You're not born to sharks without becoming one yourself.
In Vegas, King is exactly what his name implies. Born into money and influence, but respected-and feared-in his own right. The privileges of wealth have afforded him many things, freedom, power, massive eligibility-while simultaneously leaving him exposed to others: betrayal, exploitation, and manipulation.
Like attracts like . . .
Her poker face has kept her alive all this time, and he keeps his cards close to his chest. Neither is interested in gambling their hearts, but when they can't stay away from each other, there's only one choice . . . ante up.

Except Dara and Silas can't escape one another. Destiny has spoken, and these two are about to become far more intimate than they ever thought possible.

The chemistry between Stephen Foster and Nubia Perry is an undeniable fact.
The handsome, dynamic former rugby star is used to getting who he wants with minimal effort, but Nubia's steadfast refusal to acquiesce-while also making it clear that she's equally interested in him-is compelling enough to keep his attention firmly planted on her.
Even once it's clear that Nubia's polished façade is something she puts on for the public, to hide the scarred, vulnerable woman underneath, Stephen persists. He isn't intimated by the model-turned-mogul's aggressive personality-it only draws him in further.
Relationships aren't even on Nubia's radar. She has friends, family, and her steadily growing brand. After a failed engagement to the man she thought she'd build her life with-an athlete, at that-she's not interested in anything beyond having her physical needs met.
Unavoidable chemistry and close proximity work in tandem to bring these two onto the same wavelength. With the eyes of the world watching, will they deny the obvious, or give in to the inevitable seductions of passion, companionship, and love?
Contains mature themes.
