Raising the Stakes

If I've learned anything in my twenty-one years, it's how to play it safe. My rules are simple...

Don't lose sight of the prize in your last year of college.

Don't get distracted by the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas.

And don't fall for guys who make you question everything.

I've been doing so well, too...until my best friend drags me to a trendy Vegas nightclub to celebrate the beginning of winter break. I might be wearing my sexiest dress, but that doesn't explain why I've caught the attention of three men who are too rich, too arrogant, and too hot for their own good.

And they're not giving up.

I know Shane, Nicholas, and Cole are keeping secrets from me. The question is—why?

Blame it on my journalistic instincts, but I can't resist figuring out what they're up to. If I'm forced to go on a series of extravagant dates to find the answers I'm seeking, so be it. All in the name of research, right?

But I probably should have reminded myself not to get in too deep. If I'm not careful, I won't only break my rules—I'll risk my heart.

**Raising the Stakes is the first book in the Risking It trilogy, a reverse harem romance. It was previously published as a 35,000-word novella and was updated in October 2021 with 15,000 words of new content.
