A kiss born of a bet. A love story built on lies.
Ainsley doesn't believe in fairy tales. She's seen enough of the world to know that charming strangers don't just walk into libraries and sweep women off their feet. So when a mysterious man kisses her among the stacks, she's certain she's dreaming. Ty's wager was supposed to be simple: kiss the dowdy librarian and walk away. But the spark between them is real, and the desire it ignites is something neither expected. When Ty realizes Ainsley might be his ticket out of a mounting pile of trouble, he doubles down, placing her heart at the center of a dangerous game of deception. As their budding love begins to unravel, Ty faces the ultimate choice. In a web of wagers where truth is the ultimate collateral, will he win big-or lose the only thing that actually matters?
