To live is to play the game, but for feisty upstart Rylon Pope life has been about sitting in the stands. Relationships never lasted long for Rylon, they always wanted or needed more than she could give. She existed in a thriving world of loving friends and family, but she was empty inside. The secret she carried always one step behind her; choking out every dream she's ever had about falling in love....Until an accidental rainy day encounter with an overbearing control freak with fuck me eyes named Damien Drake stops her in her tracks. Damien, always the business man didn't have time to deal with anything besides business. The death of his father had done two things to his life, thrust him back into a city he hadn't lived in for over 16 years and put the weight of his father's legacy on shoulders. He didn't have time to fall in love, especially with a mouthy five foot three inch hellion in a pair of fuck me shoes. Could Damien's own personal demons hold him back from his controlling ways long enough to capture Rylon's heart before her secret caught up with them both?
