A USA
Today bestseller!
From New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author, Emma Hart, comes the second book in The Game
series, and the story everyone wanted after The Love Game...
She's in love
with him.
He's trying not to love her.
One night changes everything.
Aston Banks never meant to get close to Megan Harper - not even for that one night. Haunted by a childhood he refuses to face, he knew she could break through every wall he'd ever built and tear them down without even realizing she was doing it.
Betraying Braden by starting a relationship with Aston wasn't on Megan's to-do list, but the second she sees a glimpse of someone other than the arrogant ass she's come to know, she can't walk away.
Aston's childhood is worse than Megan ever guessed, but as he tries and fails to push her away, it's clear her love is stronger than the demons that cling to him every day. And now, because of it, he finally has to deal with what he's buried deep down.
What he doesn't want to face. What he's fought against for so long.
And they have to do it all without Braden finding out.
Keeping a relationship secret has never been harder.

EXCERPT
Someone grabs my arm and spins me into
the wall. Their mouth covers mine, swallowing my shriek, and their swift
movements thwart my attempt at kneeing them in the balls.
“You’re not being attacked,” Aston
mutters lowly against my mouth. “Unless you want it.”
I open my eyes to his in the dim light
of the hallway. “You’re a pig, you know that?”
“Yet you’re here.”
“Apparently.” I drop my eyes.
He cups the side of my head, threading
his fingers through my hair, and tugs my face upward. His lips touch mine
again, soft but forceful, and I slide my hands up his arms to grip his collar.
I hold his face against mine, parting my lips for his probing mouth, and push
my body into his. He flicks his tongue against mine, before biting on my bottom
lip and sweeping it across it. Tremors fall down my spine, and he reaches
around to slot his key into the door, breaking the kiss.
He shoves it open, his hands trailing
down my back, and I let him pull me into his room. He slams the door at the
same time he yanks my body against his, his breath fanning across my lips. My
eyes drop to his mouth and close as he dips his head to kiss me again. This
time it’s firmer, more needing, and my fingers creep below his polo shirt and
onto his hot skin. I spread my fingers out, my thumbs brushing the solid muscle
on his stomach, and he releases me to pull his shirt over his head.
I run my bottom lip between my teeth and
run my eyes down his torso. He’s perfect, beautifully so. His skins stretches
over each pack of muscle, the shadows in the indents between them like a light
engraving on his skin.
I step forward and touch my mouth to his
chest, and he cups the back of my head. He kisses my earlobe, running his lips
down my neck, and my trembling hands reach up between us.
What am I doing?
“Megan?”
I open my mouth to speak but no words
come out. Instead I swallow, stepping back. His hands fall away from me and
hang limply at his sides.
“I …” I swallow again, trying to control
the crazy buzzing in the back of my mind. “This … This can’t happen.”
