Play Dirty

Play Dirty by Sandra Brown – A Riveting Thriller of Betrayal and Redemption

Book Description:

Griff Burkett was once a football superstar—adored, talented, and wealthy—until he made a fateful mistake that sent him to prison. Now, after serving five years for a scandal that ended his career, he’s out with nothing to his name and nowhere to go. Branded as a pariah, his future seems hopeless—until he receives a shocking and highly unusual proposition.

Foster Speakman, a wealthy businessman, and his stunning wife, Laura, have everything—except the one thing money can’t buy: a child. Due to Foster’s condition, natural conception is impossible, and they don’t want to go through adoption or artificial means. Instead, they want Griff to father their child—no strings attached, just business.

At first, the deal seems almost too good to be true. But as Griff enters their private world, he finds himself caught in a dangerous game of deception, desire, and deadly consequences. As the stakes rise, he must navigate a treacherous path where trust is scarce, enemies lurk in the shadows, and the line between right and wrong is blurred.

As the secrets surrounding the Speakmans unravel, Griff realizes he may have played dirty before—but now, he’s playing for his life.
