Name: Wanna Bet?
Author: Alex Knight

88 pages

Jace likes his life quiet with predictable mornings, vinyl records and familiar routines. He has the same coffee order every day from the drive-up stand down the street and he keeps his world small, steady, and comfortably out of the spotlight.

Then there’s Samyah. She’s bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, and she thrives on connection. So when a coworker dares her to get the quiet regular to agree to a date, she accepts without hesitation. It’s harmless fun, a little flirting, an easy win. At least, that’s what she tells herself, because Samyah doesn’t do anything halfway. Living with Borderline Personality Disorder means every feeling arrives at full volume. Connections form fast, emotions run deep, and the fear of losing something meaningful can be just as powerful as finding it.

What begins as a joke becomes something neither of them expects. Jace notices the little things and he remembers what matters, but most importantly, he stays. As their relationship grows from playful banter into something real, Samyah finds herself facing a terrifying possibility: what if someone finally sees all of her and doesn’t walk away?

But when the truth about the bet comes to light, they’ll have to decide whether trust can survive a shaky beginning and whether a relationship built on a bet can become the safest thing either of them has ever known.

Wanna Bet? is a sexy, funny, and deeply heartfelt romance about vulnerability, emotional intensity, and choosing love even when there’s no guarantee your heart will come back unbroken.
