HE WANTS TO BELIEVE SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. SHE WANTS TO BELIEVE THEIR GAME IS A LIE. AFTER ALL, A LITTLE FLIRTING NEVER HURT ANYBODY. UNTIL NOW. When her best friend's boy-toy offers to help Veronica snare the man she wants, she doesn't take it seriously. But the games begin to work, and every day in Brant's company is a sexy new lesson. It's the most fun she's ever had-until the fantasy becomes too real, and unexpectedly dangerous. Brant is fine with pretending to be Veronica's lover-if it gets him the priceless antiques his employers think she's stolen. Believing the worst about people has always worked for him. And if teaching sweet little Ronnie the neglected art of subtle seduction gets him what he wants, he's all in. And maybe one deadly step beyond.
