She's glitter. They're granite. They're both about to get messy.

Jeri Donovan needed a job, not a complication. Fresh off the worst moment of her life and clawing her career back one viral video at a time, the last thing she planned on was pulling pints at the hottest club in Vegas, and the very last thing she planned on was Jamie Lim.

Her boss is buttoned-up, impossible, allergic to feelings, and runs their club like a military operation. Jeri makes it her personal mission to watch all that control crack. It's a game. There's even a bet. Half the staff has money on when the two of them will finally give in.

They lose spectacularly.

Sneaking around in the dark is easy when it's just a filthy little secret. It's the part that comes after — the part when Jamie claims Jeri as their own, out loud, in a life they've spent years keeping locked down — that neither of them is ready for. Jeri's spent long enough being someone's punchline to know she won't survive being someone's secret.

Turns out the hardest thing in the world isn't wanting somebody.

It's letting them see how much.
