From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Dylan Allen comes a new story in her Rivers Wilde series… He lives under a golden spotlight. I’m shackled to a past that must stay hidden. Omar Solomon is the king of the comeback. Ten years ago his career as a star athlete ended in injury and scandal. He may have traded in his cleats for Gucci loafers, but he’s been as victorious in the boardroom as he was on the pitch. He returns to London, wealthy, influential, and powerful beyond measure. And he spends every weekend in the pub where I work. A law student with a night job and a dark past, I’m hardly the type of woman a man like him would notice. Or so I thought. When he offers me a no-strings-attached affair, I forget all the reasons I should say no. He’s straight out of my dreams—with a body and a mouth made for sinning. Our passion turns my gray existence into a vibrant, colorful life. But it has an expiration date. When his time in London is over, we will be, too. And it will be for the best. Because he can never find out who I really am. But my Mastermind has set his sights on a new goal: me. And this time he’s playing for keeps. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
