A marriage of convenience is the only way to get her back...and to keep her safe.

The beautiful Morgan doesn't need to know how dangerous the NYC waters have become. She doesn't need to know that old family debts have come to be settled.

She doesn't need to know the way I've longed for her. We can keep things cordial...at least until night falls. The more time we spend together, the more I come to crave her. Another one of her laughs. A smile. And god, a kiss. I've become addicted to my own wife.

I lost her once. I won't lose her again.

She hates me for the secrets I've kept. But beneath that hatred burns a passion neither of us can deny. In my arms, she remembers what we once had. In my bed, she forgets why she ever left.

As threats close in from all sides, I'll risk everything to protect what's mine. Because some bonds can never be broken, some hearts can never truly be separated, and some loves are simply... inevitable.

High Stakes is a super steamy marriage-of-convenience romance where past wounds collide with present dangers, forcing two stubborn hearts to face the sometimes what you fight the hardest is exactly what you need the most.

MY REVIEW

High Stakes picks up where Deep Pockets left off - with Morgan trying to move on from what happened. But of course even though their marriage started as one of convenience, it quickly turned real, so there would be no permanent moving on, for either of them. Lance is trying his damndest to make up for his mistakes, and he's determined to prove to Morgan that he can be the man she deserves, and protect her from his past at the same time.


Nana's killing me with these cliffhangers! I gotta know that what just happened isn't really what was implied! I have to know how she plans on getting this amazing couple out of this mess. OK, rant over, onto the review. Lance, oh Lance...he's amazing - protective and freaking in love with Morgan, but bumbling his way around for so long. I love all of Nana's heroes, but I honestly think Lance might have just moved into the #1 spot. He's just so haunted by his past, and his first instinct is to withdraw, which of course is not conducive to a healthy relationship of any kind. But he's also so fierce in his love, and his protectiveness, how could I (and Morgan) not love him so much?! Now I just have to very impatiently and anxiously, wait for the conclusion to find out how Morgan and Lance make it out of this huge mess.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
