When they first meet at a seedy biker bar in North Las Vegas, Sylvie and Drakos end the night burying bodies together in the sweltering Nevada desert. Now, she harbors a deadly secret and an unwanted bond with Drakos Creed, who pursues her with relentless, baffling determination.

Sylvie doesn’t have time for entanglements or hot mobsters in Italian suits. She has her family to protect and a funeral home to run. But when a psychotic gang member targets her, Drakos will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it's dragging her—kicking and screaming—into his world.

Their attraction burns white-hot, but can they fight off the malicious shadows of greed and hate swirling around her before it’s too late?

Death by Starbucks, chaos, carnage, and a "meet-cute" they’ll never forget. Book two in the stand-alone Las Vegas House of Spades series. A sizzling, fast-paced, black comedy romance.
