Gods of Vegas

It was always him. The one I shouldn't want, shouldn't crave, the one who could destroy my carefully built life. Hagen Lykaios was the essence of sin, indulgence, and danger - everything I knew to avoid. All it took was one unexpected touch, and he consumed me, left me begging, needy, and hungry for more. He said if I entered his world he would corrupt me, own me, and change all that I had ever known...and you know what? I went anyway.

We are rivals. Sworn enemies. And he is the only man to ignite a fire in my soul. I walk a fine line between control and chaos, defined by my past and driven by my future. Nothing can stop me from protecting those I love. Zack Lykaios is cunning and dangerous. He wants to destroy everything I've built on his ruthless march to the top. All that I am, or ever will be, says I should avoid him. Still, I've been tempted. One card game. One night of all-consuming passion. One craving I can't deny. One need I can never quench. Wanting him can only lead to disaster. Loving him is guaranteed to destroy my world.

Secrets are meant to be kept. Some forever. No matter the cost. I live and thrive on deception and deceit. Manipulation is my game, and no one ever gets close enough to discover the truth. Adrian Kipos is the man I cannot have. He knows things that he shouldn't, and he has no qualms using information to his advantage. One mistake and I'm on his radar, dealing with a man I should never cross. To keep him silent I must be his. Completely. However, nothing in my world is ever as it seems. Now I'm trapped between my own desire and my doom.

I'm a prize, a treasure, something to cherish. Or so I've been told. But I know the truth. I'm a commodity recently sold to the highest bidder. Sebastian Weber is ruthless, heartless, calculating, and my new husband. Power is the weapon he wields and control is his game. I should fear him, resent him, but instead I'm drawn to him, craving his slightest touch, wanting every part of him. Leaving him isn't an option, and staying means shattering his world.

He was my enemy, learning my secrets and holding my freedom. I was born to fit a role, to live within certain rules, to play a specific part. And no one knows it's a lie. Except him. Simon Drakos is the dark, the danger, the connection to a life I'm desperate to escape. He is everything I shouldn't want and the lure I can't resist. With one look, he set the trap. After one kiss, I'm snared. Now, we're locked in a game where losing isn't an option but winning means my complete submission.
