A mafia murder. Because clearly, I don't do things by halves. Which means I am now being hunted.

No matter how much pleasure he gives me or how many times he says I belong to him.

What was supposed to be the typical “girls night out” with a couple of drinks, and a fun catch-up with her best friend, turns into something completely different for married, but lonely, Eloise Fitzpatrick.

For the first time in years, Eloise finds herself feeling sexy, desired, wanted…

On the run, I never expected Archer Sin—reclusive, arrogant, and tattooed—to be the doorstep I landed on. Even though he hates me too, Archer agreed to keep me safe from the man who left me broken and bruised. It should be easy to stay out of each other’s way when we’re complete opposites.

We shared a part of our souls, and a belly-firing kiss that has left me hard and desperate for more.
