DANGEROUS GAMES
You want to know what's worse than being in love with your best friend for thirteen years?
Realizing you're not as straight as you thought while seducing her ex-boyfriend for revenge.
I'm Diego Vaughn and I've been lying to myself since high school.
The bullies who called me gay? They saw something I couldn't admit. But I had Avani - my best friend, my proof of normalcy, the girl I convinced myself I loved. Loving her meant I was straight.
Except I've never been safe.
Five years ago, my brother Matteo disappeared. I've been searching for him ever since.
Then Avani starts dating Felton D'Angelo. A billionaire playboy who owned half the luxury hotels in LA. He told her from day one he doesn't do commitment. She thought she could change him.
She was wrong.
So she came to me crying and proposed her brilliant revenge plan: I should seduce Felton, make him fall in love, then destroy him.
I said yes because I would do anything for her and because maybe if I do this, she'll finally see me as more than her safe best friend.
I said yes because I didn't know Felton D'Angelo was the worst kind of dangerous.
I'm supposed to be pretending but when he touches me, when he leans close and whispers what he wants to do to me, when his hand slides up my thigh under the table and I don't pull away - that's not acting.
That's the truth I've been running from for thirteen years catching up to me.
This was supposed to be simple. Seduce the playboy, break his heart, make Avani love me. Instead I'm falling for a man who might have killed my brother.
And the worst part?
I think I want to let him.
