THE PRINCE AND THE PLAYER
Series: The Dirty Players Duet #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Author: Tia Louise
Release Date: May 17, 2016
Let the games begin…
Runaway Zelda Wilder will do whatever it takes to secure a better life for her and her sister Ava. Crown Prince Rowan Westringham Tate will do whatever it takes to preserve his small country.
When Zee is blackmailed into helping a vengeful statesman take down Rowan, she never expects she’ll be pulled into a web of lies and international intrigue–much less that she’ll find herself falling for Cal, Rowan’s “playboy” younger brother.
Ava’s no help, as she finds quiet walks in the moonlight discussing poetry and leadership with the brooding future king irresistible. Even more irresistible is kissing his luscious lips.
They’re in over their heads, and the more time passes, the more danger the sisters are in. Shots are fired, and it’s soon clear even a prince might not be able to rescue these players.

Cal steps between me and looking for Ava. “You walked out on me last night.” His full lips narrow into that sexy grin. “I want to be angry, but… Damn. Look at you.”Not going there with him. “I like your coat,” I deflect, flicking a finger over his black sleeve. “Interesting detail. Is that paisley?”
“Who gives a fuck?” He lifts his arm, and in the bright light, the faintest design appears in the fabric. “It’s Ming dynasty, I think. Pretty basic for Balmain.”
“Is he the royal designer?” “If he is, he wouldn’t work with me. I picked this out at a show last spring.”
“Wearing a year-old tux? Shocking! No wonder he skipped you,” I tease, walking slowly across the polished marble floor. An enormous black star is in the center. “You know, they have a replica of this place in Vegas? They have replicas of all the great casinos there.”
“Have you been?”
I shake my head. “Now I never will. It would be too depressing.”
“No arrogant princes following you around?”
Glancing to the side, I smile. “You’re not so arrogant.”
“I must be. I’m convinced you should choose me over him.”
The tone in his voice is serious, and a little charge moves through my stomach. It makes me miserable. I’ve already chosen him over Rowan, but I can’t let it happen. As much as I prefer spending time with him, I can’t blow this opportunity for Ava and me.
“Speaking of him, where is his royal majesty?”
“Probably playing Baccarat. Are you asking me to take you there?”
I can’t tell if he’s angry or not. He has an impeccable poker face. “You can get me a drink.”
“Your wish is my command. Champagne?”
“I think I had enough champagne last night. Gin and tonic.”
“Shit. I was hoping to cloud your judgment again.” He gives me a wink and saunters off to the elaborate bar.
I look down at my fingers twisting together. I’ve got to find Rowan. I’ve got to get my head out of the clouds and my ass with the crown prince. I wore this dress, these heels, all of it to entice him. Here I am reveling in the attentions of the wrong man.
