Ten Days

To the world, he is a bestselling author.

To the police, he is a murder suspect.

To her, he is an opportunity.

The job is a dream come true for Kendall Lawrence, a chance to make a name for herself. Write a feature article. That’s all she has to do. And it’s what she does best. Dig deep and string together the right words to repair a badly damaged reputation. Every detail is carefully arranged. She'll go to New Orleans and learn everything she can about the reclusive mystery writer, what makes him tick and how his mind works, what drives him, haunts him. To discover what makes him smile, laugh. To find his pulse. All in less than two weeks.

She has every question, every scenario, planned and memorized. She's ready to be challenged, thwarted. She's ready to play his game. But all too quickly, she discovers the one facet she isn't ready for…him.

Aidan Cross.

Master of the game.
