AVERY Las Vegas was my way out—a golden ticket to a new life. Moving away meant leaving the past behind, a chance to reinvent myself.
What I believed would be a fresh start in a glamorous city quickly unraveled into something darker and unexpected.
My nights belonged to a job I never wanted, one that slowly taught me how little choice I really had. With no other way to pay for my mistakes, entertaining rich men became the price I had to pay.
And just when I convinced myself I could survive this job without letting my heart get involved, he came along.
SPENCER My life used to be simple—or at least that’s what I told myself. As a wealthy sports agent, I had freedom, status, and a lifestyle that made commitment feel unnecessary.
I was more than content living the rich bachelor life.
Then the son I never knew existed showed up in the city, and a few years later, everything I thought I knew changed the moment I laid eyes on her.
At forty, I found myself navigating a life I no longer recognized: distracted by a younger woman I couldn’t stop thinking about, while struggling to connect with a son who seemed to want only one thing from me—money.
