Eva Merrick always dreamed of her perfect man. A man who would be there for her through the good times and bad. Someone who could make her laugh and never cry unless tears of joy. Perfection. However, life gave her Carter Montgomery instead– an abusive womanizer. Eva should have left a long time ago, but she didn't, and now her life hangs in the balance of a single card game.

Marco Giodano owns New York City. There isn't anything in the city he can't have. When the beautiful Eva Merrick saunters into his v.i.p. poker game there's only one word that comes to his mind, 'Mine'. There's only one thing standing in his way of making a move, her measly boyfriend, who has done nothing but belittle her since they walked through the door. And, now, her boyfriend is about to do something in Marco's favor.

The stakes are high with Marco all-in. Carter may be out of money but he refuses to back down, "Her. You can have her!" Carter's words are more than an ante. They will seal Eva's fate because no matter who wins, her life will belong to someone. The only question is, which is the lesser of the two evils…an abusive boyfriend or a man known for his killer looks and take-no-prisoners attitude? With this high-stakes poker game who will come out on top?

Dangerous Affair.
