Gambit by T.L. Cannon

A dangerous bet… Chloe Halifax is willing to risk it all in order to escape the violent criminal she was forced to marry. When Dylan Coty suddenly enters her life and steals her heart, she puts both on the line for a chance at freedom and a love that she never dreamed was possible, not knowing that the former Navy SEAL’s intentions aren’t quite as honorable as she believes.

An intimate gambit… Dylan has infiltrated the Halifax compound with one goal in mind: To bring down Jared Halifax. If that means he has to guard Chloe Halifax’s smoking hot body in the process, so be it. Seeing the crime lord’s beautiful, young trophy wife as a potential weapon in his quest for revenge, Dylan decides to turn the sizzling attraction that exists between him and Chloe to his advantage. However, he soon comes to realize that there is a lot more to Chloe than meets the eye. He also discovers that she has a few secrets of her own, ones that complicate his plans in shocking ways.

A high stakes roll of the dice that could get them both killed… As Dylan finds himself genuinely falling in love with the brave but fragile Chloe, his deepening feelings begin to derail all of his carefully laid plans, putting both of their lives in danger. When this emotional powder keg of secrets, lies and forbidden passion finally explodes all around them, Dylan is forced to choose between true love and ice cold revenge.
