    About this ebook

    Opposites attract, right?  Wrong. They EXPLODE with combustible chemistry and danger in the case of Charline & Trent...

    Charline is a serious research doctor running a drug trial for a miracle serum. The serum could heal her crippled mother, but she desperately needs funding.

    Trent Lockheed is a superstar NFL quarterback. Football is his life. He needs to hang onto his career to win one more Super Bowl, but his injured shoulder could end everything. He desperately needs a miracle cure. 

    They make an unholy bargain when Trent gives Charline money to fund her drug trial and she allows him to participate and take the miracle serum. But it all has to remain a poisonous secret between them.

    To get what they want, they both need to break cardinal rules of their professions. They make the dark bargain knowing that if the secret between them was ever exposed, it could destroy them. 

    But how do they trust each other as complete strangers in spite of their scorching attraction? Or will that uncontrollable attraction be their real undoing?

    Stephanie Queen

    Stephanie Queen has always been a writer. Ever since second grade when the Nuns of Sacred Heart School got her hooked by offering fame–though not fortune–and she won first prize in their story contest. That was her first publishing gig. After that Stephanie put writing mostly on the back burner while she built up a catalogue of life experiences. She went to UConn, got married, had two sons who could star as heroes in any lucky girl’s romance story, got a Masters degree at Harvard University, worked a few jobs–Math teacher, Keebler Elf and desk jockey at various cubicle farms doing bureaucratic things. Then she finally put writing stories back on the front burner. Since then, Stephanie has published more than forty novels and novellas. She teaches novel writing classes and also speaks at libraries, conferences and workshops on writing and publishing. “One of my all-time favorite things in the world is to hear from readers who enjoy my books. I love to write back, too. If you email me, I will reply!”
