The girl I once was has been replaced by a stranger. I don’t even know who I am anymore. I run. And I hide. Pretending to be someone I’m not… Until I meet Denham King. My burst of color in an otherwise grey world. And for the first time in my life, I find myself running towards someone instead of running away. But fate can be cruel, and I can’t escape my past. Can I?

Excerpt
He stands behind me and leans down to speak softly.
“You’ve played before?”
His breath tickles my ear and I swallow noisily.
“Yes.”
He nods to the croupier who is waiting attentively, Denham holds up one finger and a small stack of red chips is pushed across the smooth green felt toward me.
“Red or black?”
I spin my head around to him.
“You want me to choose?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t want to lose your money.”
“You won’t.
I feel lucky.”
He shrugs.
“Okay, I call red.
No wait, black.
Put one on black,”
I say, getting more excited by the second but also nervous with the pressure of gambling with someone else’s money.
He steps forward and slides the entire stack onto the large square marked BLACK.
I pull at his free arm in a panic, but I can’t deny that this is exciting.
“No! I said one. Put one on black.” He leans in so he’s just millimeters from my ear and whispers, “I’m all or nothing, sweetheart.
When I do something, I do it with everything I’ve got.” “No more bets,” the croupier calls and the moment is broken.
