King of Spades: (King #4)

When the answer you’ve been searching for is love ~ and it has been there all along.

Sweet and talented, Evangeline Micallef, is sure of one thing in this world and that is numbers. They’re predictable, formula based and leave no room for ambiguity. Exactly how she lives her life.

Recently graduated from her finance degree she desperately searches for an internship or risks having to return the scholarship which funded her degree. Desperate and out of options, she agrees to a fake relationship, enticed by a job opportunity she can't afford to refuse.

Spending six weeks working for your brother’s best-friend – who is also the only man you’ve ever loved – seems easy enough. Although, when she begins to see the caring and genuine man beneath the harsh exterior, something doesn’t add up, and remembering past hurts gets harder.

Charismatic whiskey aficionado, Cooper Dane, spends his days mixing, tasting and procuring in the business he founded, Golden Spades Distillery. When he's not in the boxing ring, he's perfecting his craft, pouring his heart into the only place that truly feels like home.

His only barrier to peace – his meddling parents who are relentless in playing matchmaker to ensure he perpetuates the family legacy – on their terms. Desperate and running out of time, he finds the answer in the one woman who is both totally off limits and has haunted his dreams for as long as he can remember – his best-friend’s younger sister.

As his connection and attraction to Eva deepens, Cooper faces a dilemma – continue the charade to please his family, or follow his heart and reveal the truth, risking both the loss of his best-friend and the business he has worked so hard to build.

Will The King of Spades find the courage to pursue what he has always desired despite the risks to everything he has ever known?
