Another man brought her to the Game. Liam Hunt has no intention of giving her back.
HELENA I came to the Velvet Game as a favor. A night out. A second chance with a man I thought deserved one. Then I met Liam Hunt. I wasn’t supposed to notice him. I wasn’t supposed to want him.
And I definitely wasn’t supposed to find myself wondering what would happen if I stopped pretending I cared about doing the right thing. The man I came with thinks he knows exactly where I belong.
He’s not the only one.
LIAM I built my empire on one skill: reading people before they show their hand. I always know what someone wants. What they’ll do next. Where the threat is buried.
Then Helena Mercer walked into my Game on another man’s arm, and every instinct I possess told me to let her walk back out. I ignored it.
What starts between us is supposed to end when the masks come off. It doesn’t. Now the man she came in with wants her back.
The problem is, his plans for Helena are tied to a family fortune neither of us fully understands. He brought her here thinking she was his to use. He’s about to find out he’s wrong.
The Velvet Bet is a contemporary romance filled with forbidden attraction, addictive chemistry, and high-stakes suspense.
Book two in The Velvet Trap Billionaires series, it can be read as a standalone.
