Lennox "Nox" Demetri and Alexandria "Charli" Collins had every intention of following their agreement but rules are made to be broken. In Cunning they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but but to follow them. Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli's hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that's pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair? Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox's and Charli's pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.
