About the book:
Privileged
and ambitious attorney Teague Elliott is on the fast-track to getting
everything he wants. All he has to do is stay on the straight and narrow and a
high-profile political career is his for the taking. Until he wakes up naked
with a Vegas showgirl…
Risa
Clay has worked hard to put her showgirl past behind her and start fresh. But
she owes ten grand to the wrong people, and to pay off her debt, she agrees to
betray a stranger. . .but she ends up with a husband and guilty conscience.
Savvy
and determined, she double-crosses the mob, goes on the run, and turns up on
Teague’s doorstep armed with a dangerous secret, a marriage license, and the
power to ruin his well-planed future. She thought using Teague again would be
easy, but the passion that exploded between them in Vegas didn’t stay in Sin
City and betrayal is the last thing on her mind.
Now
Teague has to choose between the future he’s planned for all his life, or the
one with Risa that he can’t turn away from.

She
would never get used to the guns.
Risa
pressed her body further back into the chair outside Big Tony’s office while
she waited her turn with the man who had a stranglehold on her life. Everyone
who worked for Big Tony was packing. They wore it like a badge of honor just
daring someone to goad them into using it. A bunch of over-sized,
testosterone-juiced, man-children strutting around bringing violence and chaos
with them everywhere they went.
Assholes.
Not
for the last time, she pushed her regrets over her life to the back of her mind
and dealt with the reality of living and dying in Las Vegas. She’d grown up in
this town and literally lived on the streets for a period of time, and knew
that if you stayed you eventually got roped into the seedy underside of the
glitter and glamour of the strip. She’d avoided it for a long time,
side-stepping the interest that her C-cups, long legs, and red hair got her
from the local thugs, but if you worked in a place like the Gold Coast Casino
long enough, you got noticed.
She
still remembered the day she caught the attention of Big Tony and her life
changed— for the better and for the worse. It didn’t hurt to have a man like
him interested in you because it kept the other losers away, and it really
didn’t hurt to know him when you needed ten grand to put your best friend in
rehab because her shithead boyfriend got her hooked on meth. But the knowledge
of what she’d done to a man name Teague Elliott hurt like a bitch.
“Risa,
what are you here to see Big Tony about?” asked Frank Gazarra as he stared at
her chest.
“Eyes
up, Frank. The girls are awesome, but the last time I checked they don’t talk.”
She replied, unsurprised with Frank took his time lifting his eyes to her face.
“I did a little work for Big Tony and I’m here to report in.”
“I’m
surprised to hear that. You always stay away from the life.”
“Big
Tony loaned me some cash when I needed it. I pay my debts.”
“Women
usually do that on their backs with the big guy.” Frank smirked, his eyes
straying back down to her breasts. She suppressed a sigh, wishing she could
hurry up and get this over with. She’d waited over a week for Big Tony to call
her in to hand over the goods, changing her mind a million times and feeling
worse about what she’d done with each passing minute. “Well, I’m not.”
I
would think your little sex toy business would be pulling in the cash.” He
waggled his eyebrows and stuck out his tongue. “Sex sells, baby.”
Gross.
She tamped down the urge to vomit. Tony had better hurry or he was going to
have a “clean up on aisle nine” moment out here.
