AUTHOR’S NOTE Dear Reader: Rafe and Gunnar’s love story was first told in a serial fashion, originally available through Kindle Vella. As such, the story was written in a soapy, dramatic fashion, with a particular intensity of emotions, as well as mini cliffhangers in each chapter. Though I revised the story to release as a novel and an audiobook, their romance still has a certain “drama!!!” to it. Think of it like a late-night, sexy erotic soap! This style of quick storytelling is a little different from my usual fare. Thanks for giving it a shot. Xoxo Lauren ABOUT It's a fine line between lust and obsession… Lately, I’ve been full of questions. Then one hot summer night I find all the answers when I kiss another guy for the first time. But all too soon, he disappears, leaving me wondering who my mystery man was. Then I can’t stop thinking about him. Even on the ball field, I’m daydreaming about his hungry hands, and the filthy things he whispered in his posh British accent. Somehow I still win one of the biggest games of my career, and afterward the man surprises me with an invitation: “Meet me in a private suite.” When I RSVP, he makes me an offer – one chance to try all the things I’ve never experienced. Then we’ll walk away. But once will never be enough. Soon I’m locked into an intense lessons-in-seduction game with the secretive billionaire who keeps love at a distance, all while he pushes the boundaries of my brand new desires. And soon I learn that all my desires come with a terrible cost, as he breaks down the walls around my heart.

I’ve danced my ass off for hours with my friend Theresa and one hundred of our new closest mates. I may not know their names, but I know them. They might be strangers on paper, but I can tell you what anyone here at Edge tonight would look damn good in when they take off their trousers. Take that all-American guy out there. He’d turn heads in a pair of my Tight, White, and Bright jocks—all boy-next-door in the front, loud-and-proud playboy in the back. The bearded man in the corner wearing the snappy, bright red tank top? When he strips for his lover tonight, he’d give that lucky man something to ogle in my Over the Rainbow briefs. It’s a private party game I play as I ask for a martini at the second-floor bar where I catch my breath, running a hand through my hair. It’s been a perfect Saturday night, and perfectly inspirational. My mind swims with ideas as I wait for my drink and once more scan the crowd at the San Francisco club. Revelers fill the dance floor. Bodies bump and grind. Hands slide along arms, and legs intertwine. Hips thrust. Lips lock, and I can’t look away. My greedy imagination gobbles up the sounds and the motion. And most of all, the touching. There’s a tap on my shoulder, and I turn to see Theresa, her skin aglow and flushed from dancing. She’s my very
