Synopsis
A seductive affair is twisted by secrets in the latest Salon Games novel from the author of Over Exposed.
To the outside world, Dane Connelly
is the playboy heir of a media mogul, his life a series of one-night stands
with no commitments. Only in the Salon does he satisfy his darker urges with
willing partners. Life was perfect…until his best friend fell in love. Now Dane
knows exactly what he’s been missing—and exactly who he wants.
Talia Driscoll enjoys creating
perfection. She loves bright, glittery parties and fairy tale weddings. But she
knows the illusion is short-lived. Nothing lasts forever and everyone lies to
get what they want. After all, she lies about her true identity every day.
After an explosive night at the
Salon, Dane is determined to sway the reluctant Talia to be his
completely. But the secrets that keep them apart are at odds with the
erotic passion that draws them together…

Excerpt
“Hey. Come
look at this.”
Jed called
him back, holding out his hand, palm up with a ring in the center.
“She chose
the matching ring to mine.”
Dane picked
up the delicate gold band inlaid with yellow and white diamonds.
When he glanced
at Jed, Jed’s smile made Dane shake his head. “You really are a sap.”
“Sue me. I
love her.”
“Yeah, I
know. And you’re damn lucky she loves you just as much.”
Jared took
the ring from Dane and held it up in front of his face, his smile softening. “I
never thought I’d do this. Never thought I’d find a woman I wanted to wake up
beside every morning or go to bed with every night. I thought I’d be bored out
of my skull having to spend so much time with one woman. And here I am,
thinking I just won the lottery.”
“If you
start to cry, you’re on your own. I’m all out of hankies.”
That made
Jed laugh, as it was supposed to. And when Jed turned to smile at him, Dane
couldn’t help but grin back as he shook his head.
“There’s
still hope for you,” Jed said.
No way was
he giving Jed ammunition. “I never said I didn’t want to get married. Hell, my
parents are the poster children for marriage. For that matter, so are my
brother and sister.”
“So you do
think about it?”
Dane
shrugged. “Honestly . . . No. I’ve never had the urge to ask
anyone to marry me.”
“At the
risk of sounding like a Hallmark commercial, when you meet the right woman,
you’ll know it.”
Nodding,
Dane tried not to laugh in his best friend’s face but finally lost the battle.
Jed didn’t take offense, though.
“Go ahead
and laugh, buddy. Someday the shoe will be on the other foot.”
“Not sure
there’re any more like Belle out there, so don’t be fitting me for new shoes
just yet.”
“So, you’re
gonna ask Talia to the party.”
“I already
did.”
Jed didn’t
bother to look surprised. “And . . .”
“She’s
going to let me know.”
“Ah.”
“Don’t make
me tell you to fuck off again.”
