Quin Black is bored. All he does is work, sleep, and work some more. When he gets reassigned to the menial task of categorizing old, confiscated Doors, he slips back into one of his old habits--gambling. His first night out, the venue explodes and Quin leaves thousands in debt to the dealer. But the dealer makes him an offer -- go through three Doors and find out what's on the other side, and he will release him from his debt, free and clear.
Meanwhile, Jo Nash wants out. Her father, a con man and petty crook, refuses to allow her to attend horticultural school and be a normal person. He would prefer she stayed in the family business. So when her father offers her a deal -- do one last assignment for him and he will pay for her schooling -- she jumps at the chance.
Together, Quin and Jo step through a series of Doors to visit other worlds, and not only find themselves caught up in a bigger mess than they could have imagined, they learn a little something about themselves along the way.

When Jodie moved to the big city with her best friend after years of sexual abuse from her older brother, she thinks things are looking up when she gets one of the best PR jobs in London. Deciding to celebrate, she goes out for one last wild night with her best friend Ryan to the biggest and most notorious casino in town - home to the entire East End Gangland. She's bowled over by the enigmatic, stunningly beautiful Cayden Gates, and follows her old habits for one last orgasmic time before waking up on Monday morning as a responsible adult with a brand new, glittering career, by enjoying a night of burning hot lust and passion with the sexy stranger, and bailing before he wakes up alone in the cold bed.

And as the stakes climb higher, how willing will he be to fight for her without his own dark secrets stepping out from behind the curtains?Complete
