No Safe Bet

By Ava Ardyne

Deal Ends: Mon 19th October

I made one rule when I took the job at the Ozler winery.Stay away from Quinn.It lasted approximately three days.He walked forty acres in the dark to find me when nobody else noticed I was gone. Nobody has ever come looking for me. He keeps doing it.Now we’re partners. Secret ones. Running a business out of the barn kitchen at midnight, playing Chess and Confess like truth is something you can bet, pretending the line between us is still there.It isn’t. He walked forty acres in the dark to find me when nobody else noticed I was gone. Nobody has ever come looking for me. He keeps doing it.Then an old woman takes his hand in a parking lot and calls him by a dead man’s name. My mother’s name is the other half of that sentence.And just like that, the one person who sees me is the one person I can’t let myself want.I’ve survived worse than this. I’ve survived everything, actually.But I’ve never had to walk away from someone who refuses to stay gone. And I’ve never had the answer this close, in a family that would rather I never asked.Someone in that family already knows who I am.Someone has known since September.✔ protective hero ✔ he falls first ✔ forced proximity ✔ secret business partners ✔ slow burn ✔ a family secret with a DNA test at the end of itNo Safe Bet is Book 2 in the Heir of Hearts series — romance-first new adult romantic suspense, winery setting, a question the whole book is built around, and an answer before the last page.Picks up after Almost Honest (Book 1), 99¢ through 10/23.EARLY PRAISE FOR NO SAFE BET“This book raises the stakes in every possible way, delivering romance, suspense and emotional vulnerability.” — Sonica, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★★“Enemies to Lovers Tension, Morally Grey Billionaire MMC, Elite Campus Secrets, Secret Business Partners, Forced Proximity.” — Megan, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“The story keeps opening up in unexpected directions… and I couldn’t look away.” — M., NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“This series is so...addicting and a great guilty pleasure read that’s unique and just a great time!” — Jaici, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“The chemistry between Prin and Quinn is one of the novel’s strongest elements.” — Donna, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★★“I was so hooked I didn’t realize that I sat and finished this in one sitting.” — Jennah, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“Ava, you are just playing with my emotions… now gimme book 3.” — Angela, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“The push and pull of Prin and Quinn, the angst, the mystery and the unanswered questions keep you turning the pages.” — Meredith, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★“I need book 3!” — Fantasy, NetGalley reviewer, ★★★★
