Rachel Van Dyken

Kenzo

Kenzo

Ivy White

Rebecca walks into the underground poker room with one goal: win enough money to pay off her father’s debts before men come to collect. She thinks she can cheat the table, read the players, and slip out unnoticed.

But the moment the door locks behind her, she realises she’s stepped into the wrong game. This isn’t just a poker ring. It’s a trap built by Kenzo Robernero, the cold, calculating leader of the Società Oscura. All of the players in the room answer to him. Each card on the table is stacked in his favor and every newcomer is watched.

Now Rebecca is caught in a room where the stakes are lethal, the rules are unwritten, and the man across the table doesn’t tolerate cheats, but he does notice them. And once Kenzo notices you, the night stops being about cards and starts being about survival.

His cold eyes raked my body, and I hated the tremble that went down my spine.

“Of course, I remember you,” he said, his lip curling. “I never forget a good fuck.”

Anger surged through me, and I cocked back my hand for a slap, but he caught it easily.

He smirked, thinking he’d won. But he’d forgotten about my other hand…

Which I curled into a fist. And fired into his face.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option,

Blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay

I’m what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don’t care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And I know exactly where I’m going.

That’s why I’m at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

But that plan gets quickly derailed

Thanks to an unbecoming video

A blackmailing snowboarder

And his ex who’s hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want

but exactly what you need?
