Description
Lana Blackwell thought she won her freedom the night she murdered her abusive husband, Richard. That freedom lasts exactly one funeral.
Richard's brooding business partner, Chuck Sterling, arrives convinced she stole twenty million dollars from their mob-laundering accounts—and the men he answers to don't forgive debts. Lana knows nothing about the missing fortune, but staying alive means working with the one man who has every reason to hate her and the power to destroy her. What she doesn't expect is the pull between them, or how much it threatens the freedom she killed to claim.
Chuck spent his life believing attachment is a liability and freedom a lie. Richard was the one person who ever made him feel like somebody—until his death exposes a betrayal that shatters everything Chuck thought he knew. Now, as the crime boss closes in and the deadline tightens, suspicion turns to desire. Loving Lana means tearing down the armor that's kept him alive. Choosing her means betraying the memory of a man he once called family.
A searing enemies-to-lovers romance full of dark secrets, simmering tension, and a slow-burn that ignites into an inferno.
