Layla Jackson isn't looking for marriage or her own happily ever after. At least, not at this point in her life. And especially not with notorious playboy and single dad, Seth Wakowski. He may be a baller on the court, but off—he's immature and the total opposite of the kind of guy she would ever want to be involved with.

I’m Natasha Resnova. The miracle child. The one who lived when doctors said I wouldn’t. The one who hides behind a camera instead of facing my violent bloodline. The Resnov bratva thrives on brutality. I survive in stillness. Until one photo puts me in the path of Lachlan MacKenzie—Dodger’s star batter and son of a Scottish crime boss. Lach sees me. The broken parts. The girl behind the blood-soaked legacy. Then he appears, and everything unravels.
