One explosive night, two sworn enemies, and a Vegas marriage that could change everything
HARLOW:
I came to the Jade Petal Hotel Casino with a razor-sharp plan—inspect the place, prove Easton Hardwick was cutting corners, and walk away victorious. He was the same arrogant magnate who tried to smooth-talk his way past my regulations once before. This time, I wouldn’t let his magnetic charm or that sinful smile rattle my composure.

One explosive night, two sworn enemies, and a Vegas marriage that could change everything
HARLOW:
I came to the Jade Petal Hotel Casino with a razor-sharp plan—inspect the place, prove Easton Hardwick was cutting corners, and walk away victorious. He was the same arrogant magnate who tried to smooth-talk his way past my regulations once before. This time, I wouldn’t let his magnetic charm or that sinful smile rattle my composure.
But a few top-shelf drinks, a dare that went too far, and we stumbled into a Vegas chapel with “I do” on our lips. My strict professionalism vanished the moment he pulled me closer, and I hated how badly I wanted him to do it again.
Now I’m trapped in a tangle of lust, sabotage, and high-stakes secrets—and I can’t decide if I’m more terrified of losing my career or losing myself.
Will I risk everything to keep a husband I never meant to marry?
EASTON:
The Jade Petal was supposed to be my crowning achievement—a gleaming empire that put my name on every VIP list in Vegas. Then Harlow Clarke came storming in with her ink-dry regulations and that unshakeable sense of justice. She had every intention of shutting me down, and I had every intention of proving her wrong. One wild night later, we woke up with rings on our fingers and no easy way out.
Now the press is circling like sharks, my investors are growing nervous, and someone inside my operation is feeding the rumor mill with fresh scandals. Meanwhile, every time I catch her glare or feel her body pressed close, I’m tempted to gamble it all.
Will I double down on the marriage that was never meant to happen—or fold before I lose the only thing that’s ever made me feel alive?
