Love's Dangerous Game

"Listen here, asshole," I snapped, my voice barely contained. "I'm not your girlfriend. Hell, I'm not even your friend. So stop texting me, and stop trying to control my life. You want to keep playing games? You'll lose."

"Don't even think about telling Liam," he growled, his voice low, dangerous. "This stays between us, Karla. He doesn't need to know."

I stared at him, defiant. "There is no us, Marcus. Stop pretending like there is. You're not my keeper, and you sure as hell aren't my boyfriend."

Karla has always lived in the shadow of her protective older brother, Liam, but it's his best friend Marcus who knows how to push her buttons-and boundaries. When their heated exchanges ignite a dangerous tension, Karla finds herself caught between her loyalty to her brother and the pull of Marcus's possessive charm.

As secrets unravel and lines are crossed, Karla must decide: will she play by Marcus's rules or risk losing everything to protect herself from his control? In this world of passion and manipulation, love is just another game-one they're both determined to win.
