As my best friend’s brother, Dex Hardy has always been my downfall—older, forbidden, and completely irresistible.

Our paths were never supposed to cross, but they tangled up in the summer nights we exchanged forevers and I love yous under the stars.

In secret.

He knew it had to be that way.

Yet he betrayed our relationship the day he chose to save me from that car wreck instead of her.

I won’t forgive him for that.

The only reason I’m at his casino now is because I need the money. If I can survive six months working and living in close proximity to him at the Black Diamond Resort and Casino, I’ll be able to pay off my mother’s medical bills and more. Not so bad.

Until Dex finds out I’m engaged to a man I don’t love and wants to make his own deal with me—six months of being married to him instead. Or else.
