Sure Bet
(2024)(The first book in the Out of Left Field series)
A novel by Katherine Avery and K C Everly
Her worst enemy is her biggest temptation.
Brooke Elwood has a rule: never kiss Liam Porter.
Not at fifteen, when a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven went horribly wrong. Not at twenty-five, after years of relentless teasing from her best friend’s infuriatingly hot twin brother.
But rules have a funny way of breaking when temptation moves in—literally.
When Liam’s life takes a nosedive, he ends up on Brooke’s doorstep with nowhere else to go. Sharing an apartment with her lifelong nemesis? Bad. Discovering he’s determined to charm his way past her defenses? Worse.
His challenge? A bet: he’ll get her to kiss him before her twenty-fifth birthday in two weeks. If he wins, he stays. If he loses, he’s gone for good.
Brooke’s confident she can outlast him. She’s dodged his cocky grin and flirty one-liners for years—how hard could two weeks be?
Except Liam isn’t the boy she remembers. He’s all grown up now, and the games they’re playing aren’t just flirty—they’re electric. And suddenly, resisting him feels like losing something bigger than a bet.
Two weeks. One kiss. Endless trouble.
Let the games begin
