Sage: He was supposed to be a one-night stand . . . but it turned out to be the best sex of my life. Still, I wasn't looking for anything serious. I snuck out thinking I'd never see him again. Wrong.

Imagine my surprise when I run into him a few weeks later at a Christmas party hosted by my best friend's father. Turns out, Elias Carter is the Don of the QBM—the Queensboro Mob—and I've become his new obsession.

Maybe he can help me escape the man threatening to harm me and my family. A man from my past who wants me to help him. Just one problem . . . he wants me to spy on Elias to help bring down the QBM.

Elias: I thought I'd never see her again. The woman who didn't look at me in fear. Who challenged me. Who made me believe that maybe there's more to life than leading a crime syndicate. It may have been one night, but I need more. I need her. My new obsession.

Something, or someone, has her spooked, and I'm determined to protect her at all costs—even if she keeps running from me.

Even when I find out she's connected to the man I've been hunting down.
