He took her for leverage. She'll take him apart.
Amelia Havick wanted a fresh start, not a death sentence. But when she uncovers a secret tied to Emory Holt-the West Coast's most notorious mafia boss-she becomes the spark that could ignite a war. Plunged into his underworld, she's his to protect...or ruin.
Emory is no stranger to dirty business. No one leads a criminal empire without blood on their hands. With his organization on the brink of war, the key to stopping it lies within a woman too important to let go and too tempting to resist.
The plan is simple: Get the girl. Extract the secret. Neutralize the threat.
But sweet Amelia isn't the fragile pawn he expected. Beneath her softness is a quiet defiance that both intoxicates and infuriates him. She's the one unraveling him, wielding the razor-thin line between lust and loathing like a weapon.
Monster. Murderer. Cold and calculating.
Amelia should hate Emory-God knows she tries-but her body betrays her better sense every time he's near. Every brush of his hand, every heated gaze, strips away her defenses and blurs the line between captor and protector.
Forbidden desire is its own kind of war and love is a liability neither of them can afford. Not when a force from Emory's past resurfaces, someone who once vowed to destroy everything he loves.
And this time, he's here to finish the job.
