I crave this woman. And nothing—not even her—is going to stand in my way.
Vivienne Frost works tables at my club, but she’s no ordinary waitress. Shes smart-mouthed, dangerously beautiful, and entirely off-limits.
She thinks she can outrun the past, hide behind a tray of drinks and pretty lies. But I’ve seen the bruises. I’ve heard the cracks in her voice. Her defiance doesn’t push me away—it awakens a brutal kind of need in me, something that’s been waiting to break free.
The deeper I dig, the darker her past gets—blackmail, a missing ring, and a ghost from the Irish mob who wants her back. She’s scared, stubborn, and drowning in pain she won’t explain.
She thinks she can handle this alone.
She’s wrong.
And I’ll burn down anyone who tries to take her from me.
