Publisher's Synopsis
Abeni has always had the people in her life protect her, but that isn't what she's always wanted. In an effort to find her freedom and herself, her life has become a mountain of secrets that she works to preserve. Thus her cards have always been played close to her chest, with every move calculated. But when love becomes the prize, she finds herself revealing her hand.
Because of the loss in his past, Eli avoids anything that may potentially throw him off his game, especially people and relationships. So romance has never been in the cards for him, and that's how he's always liked it. However, he's forced to reconsider when love suddenly seems worth all the risk.
When Abeni goes looking for trouble, she finds Eli. And, little do they know, an unexpected danger will forge them deeper into each other's lives. As their well-refined rules clash, they fight to find common ground. Then, when the last thing they anticipated occurs, they find themselves no longer playing against, but with each other. With the stakes higher than they'd ever been, a change in strategies is required. Because playing as a team to win at love means breaking their rules.
