"Do you know what I do to girls who don't answer when they're spoken to?" she murmured, her voice dripping with quiet menace under the mask. "N-no," Salma breathed, her voice barely audible as she kept her eyes locked on Nerezza's dark eyes. Nerezza hummed, tilting Salma's chin up with a gloved hand, her grip firm but teasing. "I fuck the answers out of them," she whispered, each word slow and deliberate. ••••• Salma, a well known radio show host, is used to strange calls-but nothing like this.

This is a mature girlxgirl story. I would highly recommend reading I Hate You & Oh, My, Addison first, however this can be read as a standalone novel. Blaire Felt moved to Oregon State University four years ago after graduating from Kingsley High School. Of course, that meant separating from her best friends just so she could journey by herself in a completely new state. Instead of rejuvenation, Blaire was met with heartache as she walked in on her boyfriend of a year cheating on her with her roommate. Therefore, her friends decide to spoil her on a trip to forget in the city that never sleeps - Las Vegas. Five luxurious days to bond with her friends after years and potentially make some wrong decisions along the way. However, Blaire can't help but cherish the quick moments she had with a gambling stranger at a Blackjack table. Ready to risk it all, even if it meant snubbing her friends a bit - Blaire was determined to find herself during her five days in Vegas, especially if it meant getting to know the beautiful, green-eyed girl that bet way too much money a hand. Because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - right?
