Vivienne Cartwright can have anything she wants in life except for the man she loves. She chases it only to find herself crashing down after the ultimate high. Oliver Yates doesn't seem to be the man she's loved all these years and his secrets are as dangerous as they are heartbreaking. Time and distance may heal her but they can't free her. Securing a future with Vivienne cost Oliver his soul, a price too high for the girl who'd saved it years ago when tragedy nearly ripped it away from him. Without anything else to offer but the mere scraps left of himself, Oliver makes one last bargain to win back the woman who became the everything out of his nothing. With the stakes higher than they ever were and the rules of the game changing as they go all in, will these two find their way back or will a mysterious hand tear them apart forever? *Second book in the Cobalt Bay Billionaires series.* *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.

Not exactly the type of boy you'd be interested in, but he'll suffice. ______________________ "I am clumsy." I offer her a sheepish smile with teeth and her gaze darkens. This close I can see the blush she put on her cheeks. This close I can see the birthmark on the tip of her nose. She's still staring at my mouth which I still find nerve wracking. I've been with a lot of girls before her but I'd be a fucking liar if I said that they didn't make me nervous. One girl told me that it turned her on, which unfortunately made my anxiety sky-rocket until I saw her mouth lower past my belt - but still. I wanted to pull back and away from her but like every other girl that fell into my life - I let myself fall right into them. Even if its gonna hurt like a mother when they leave. Now when I'm looking down at this girl staring at my mouth (from beneath her lashes) like she's gonna fucking eat me, I'm not even sure if I care about how much its gonna hurt. After she grins at my clumsy comment, she pulls me down with her hands tangling in my hair. I let her lead and before I know it my hands are tugging her up and over to straddle me. I grin when her confidence falters for only a moment. ______________________ +1 - boy, girl, and dog with one eye +2 - sunken cakes, job proposals, and false positives +3 - bullets, dismissals, exes out with a vengeance = nine chapters of bs and tears ______________________
