Bet On Her
Nyah Young never expected to become trapped in the world of the Harris family.
After a public humiliation at the hands of Asher Harris, the school's golden-boy quarterback, Nyah finds herself forced into a marriage neither of them wants. With a ruthless billionaire pulling the strings, escape isn't an option.
Asher is furious. His whole future was football, scholarships, and getting out. Now he's stuck living under the same roof as the girl he blames for ruining everything.
Angry, resentful, and determined to keep his distance, he's prepared to make their arrangement miserable.
But living under the same roof changes everything.
What begins as hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous, and when jealousy, desire, and buried feelings collide, Nyah and Asher must decide whether their marriage is just a contract... or the beginning of something real.
~ So why lie, Asher?" I demanded, my voice trembling with a potent mix of burning anger and raw, deep-seated sadness.
"You may be the absolute worst person on the entire planet, and clearly you love to hurt me but why cheat on your girlfriend? And why lie to my face about it?"
Asher kept his eyes glued to the road, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. He let out a careless, irritatingly calm shrug.
"Why not? I honestly didn't think you would go for it last night, but I guess I was wrong. And who am I to turn down sex? Plus, after you left the party, me and Lacey had a massive fight anyway."
My jaw dropped, the sheer callousness of his words piercing straight through me. "Okay, and? She might be a total bitch, but that doesn't give you the right to cheat on her, and it definitely doesn't give you the right to lie to me about it! Why must you keep playing with me like this? What did I ever do to you for you to keep trying to hurt me so bad?" ~
