Kyle Briggs was a man living on the edge and he was betting everything he had in hopes of coming out on top-for once. He had nothing to his name, nothing in his wallet, and his liver was taking a beating. What he did have was Rae. After all, it was her fault he lost his scholarship and failed. Rae Campbell is set on top of a stack of chips, handed over to Colton in order to pay off an outrageous amount of money in any way he wants. She doesn't have a clue why she was sent to Colton's house for a week by Kyle, all she knows is it's the first breath of fresh air she's had in a long time. Rae knows she can't get out of the life she has chosen because she doesn't believe she is worth more than that-and Kyle makes sure of it. Now she has a man with everything, offering his support to break her free from the chains that bind her. The problem is, she doesn't think there is anything anyone can do. However, the more she spends time with Colton; the more she covets; and the more she learns she should start betting on herself. Colton Ford can handle anything, he's done it his entire life and made himself a superstar on the field and off. He doesn't need anyone or anything. When he ventures to play a relaxed game of poker he's handed the biggest entity he's ever had to handle. Initially, he wants to help the girl that was put on top of the pile-as long as she's not like Kyle Briggs. What he didn't expect was the girl who stood on his doorstep with big eyes and a damaged heart. He knew he had to do something to drag her from the darkness Kyle enveloped her with and show her the light. In doing so, he didn't realize that by showing her the light he would see it himself and want something he didn't think he needed. Or wanted. "I didn't mean to fall in love-but I fell almost as if I were on a roller coaster. Cruising painfully slow to the top, knowing what was coming, and unable to catch my breath as I plummeted down all at once." -Nancy Ann Healy
