Book excerpt: Our relationship starts as a game. I sneak into his bar underage. He kicks me out. Repeat. Maliki Bridges is the town's hottest bar owner. He thinks I'm the mayor's troublesome daughter. I think he has a stick up his a**. Once I turn twenty-one, we become friends. Nothing more ... Until my world is turned upside down, and he offers me his guest bedroom. It's a bad idea, moving in with him, but any opportunity I get to be around him I'll take. Consequences be damned. Becoming roommates is the riskiest game we've ever played.
