Risky : A Novella


A. Marie Johnson - 2017
    In desperate need of a very quick come up, she finds herself willing to spend one night with a man who is as mysterious as the past she doesn’t know he’s hiding, but what will happen when one night turns into several and Remi finds herself once again battling between what she believes is right and what she knows is wrong? Though she knew what was at stake when she agreed to do what he asked of her, the battle between her heart and her mind leaves her willing to chance it all in a risky game of sex and love, a game where the two can so easily be confused as one and the same. Usually, the reward is always greater than the risk, but what will the outcome be when the risk is greater and Remi finds herself in a gamble of getting everything she’s ever desired only to give herself up in the process. Fair warning: This is not the average romance or love story. This is a story of risk and opportunity, where two people find themselves unwillingly falling for each other along the way of those two things.
