It's not safe out there it'll never be. Every day is a fight to do the right thing. God has given us his laws, history, answers, and the truth. You know what I'm talking about. We call it the bible. I don't know what you believe in, and I'm not going to try to convince you... But who am I kidding. Most of you will either stop reading this book and never look at it again, and very few of you will continue. Some of you will read this to get answers, and some of you will take this information and twist my words against me, for those people... I will make myself VERY clear. I believe that God is real, I believe in his word, and that is why I am a Christian. (There is nothing to get that confused with.) To clear things up even more, I have a relationship with a real God, not some mythical creature made up in my head. Just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I am perfect, I make mistakes and I ask God for forgiveness and just because I am a Christian doesn't mean you should treat me any less. But who are you kidding, you'll do that anyway. © All Rights Reserved

When she rolled out of bed in the morning, she rolled out with his heart as well. And with the emptiness that was burning inside his chest, he knew it was a fate worse than death. "We share a bed together, not a life."

Amelia Penney is an 18-year-old gambler on a luck streak; she enjoys and partakes in the "Vegas Night" on the 7th day of every week. She often deals with toxic drama at home, so she had to find a hobby. Amelia only ever teases a guy if he try's to flirt with her. She's never had a boyfriend and she's never been in love. Amelia doesn't feel threatened by any boy, any man, until she meets Parrish Livingston. Parrish is the new handyman at the diner where she works. He grabs her attention unlike any other guy she's met, which scares her. She quickly realizes she can't hold back, or tease him off. He makes her feel curious and she can't hide away from her feelings for him forever. On top of it, he's a beautiful man that is good with words. How could she resist? Parrish Livingston is a singer, song writer, and guitarist who has moved to Vegas from Pennsylvania. He was a womanizer in high school through college, which is what got him kicked out of college. His father told him to move to Vegas, work at the diner, and grow up. Parrish is talented, but he's been taking a break from his talent since college. He's never been in love but he sure has slept around. He knew Amelia was different. Parrish couldn't stop thinking about Amelia since that first conversation they had in the quiet room, in the back of the diner. That feeling was so foreign to him, but at the same time he was fascinated by how she made him feel. Will Parrish and Amelia find love for the first time together? Through all the adventures they go through, together or separate, they have to figure out how to let go of fear. What all really happens at the Underdog's Underground, the most lively place to gamble in Vegas? Will Lauren, Amelia's mother, resurface?
