“When my family asks, ‘does that boy have a job?’ am I allowed to answer that you’re a killer, or should I let you take the lead on that?”

Kane Bishop is everything women are warned about.
He’s a professional enforcer for a dangerous cartel built upon drugs, guns, and violence, and according to the files littering my desk, it’s a sure bet he boasts a body count that has nothing to do with the women who’ve passed through his bed.

I should know better than to step into his world.
God knows my law degree vouches for the fact I have a brain and a modicum of common sense.

And yet, here I am, hiding from my cop brother and half naked in Kane’s apartment while he stitches me up and we both pretend we aren’t desperate for a way out.

Is it possible for the criminal and the good girl to have a happily ever after?
Probably not.

But will I fight for us until the bitter end?
With every breath in my body.
