Layla has had a one-sided, secret 'love affair' with her brother's long-standing best friend, Riaan. It started at age 16 and she has never quite gotten over it. 

Now, 23 and an independent university student, she finds her path crossing with that of Riaan's once more as he travels back to his home country of South Africa, after a seven year stint in London. 

There is an immediate attraction between the two, but the odds are against them. 

For starters, Riaan is 10 years older and engaged to be married. Then there's Layla's brother to consider who isn't going to be too pleased with the development of a love affair between his sister and best friend. 

To make matters more complicated, there's also the vast cultural and social differences between the two that cannot be ignored. 

Will their attraction to each other be enough to overcome the odds?

...And, it doesn't quite help that Riaan has a past he isn't too proud about sharing with the young and innocent Layla.

Wicked Games by goldmelanin17

ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER (Book 1) When assassins and ex-lovers, Eliana and Reid reunite under unusual circumstances they must try and work together to take down the organisation that took away their childhood and ruined their relationship. ... "You can hate me all you want, Eliana. You can convince yourself that I'm the worst human being on this fucking planet, but it doesn't change how much I love you, how much I've always loved you. There is no one on this planet who I have loved as fiercely as I have loved you!" He throws his hands up in the air, frustration clear on his face and I swallow hard having to look away from his intense gaze. "But you left," I whisper meekly feeling my guard crumble bit by bit. The silence between me and Reid is tense. The way we look at each other has my heart pounding in my chest and my breath stuttering. There's a metre between us and Reid's chest heaves as he tries to calm down. "You left, Reid." I croak, my eyes burning with tears and his face softens. He closes the space between us and cradles my face in between his large, soft, tattooed hands, leaning down to rest his forehead against mine, his eyes fluttering shut. "And I'll never leave you again, Eliana. Death would have to take me before I left you, baby."
