They say the best laid plans often go astray—or something like that. Anyway, I thought it would be easy to infiltrate a gang of Russian sex traffickers and help bring them down, but I was wrong. Don’t judge. I did it so the man who has my heart could rescue me and we’d head off into the sunset together and live our happily ever after. But that guy, he’s nowhere to be found. Now I need someone, anyone, to help me out of this. The problem is, nobody knows where I’m being held captive. Including me.

ROXIE The biggest problem when you partner up with someone as sexy as Ronan Sinclair? You find yourself planning out all the ways to get him into your bed instead of focusing on work—our trek around the globe chasing the bad guy who did him wrong. I’ve tried every seduction technique in the book, and still, he resists. What he doesn’t know is, I’ve got one more trick up my sleeve. When I bust that out, he’s not going to know what hit him. RONAN I’m not a bad man, I just like to do bad things. But this time, I’m trying to be good because I want to do right by Roxie Stevens. I want to keep her safe. Mostly from me. That means not giving into temptation, even if I do want her as mine. Because if I cave, one way or another, I’ll have to kill her when this is all over.

We call ourselves The Dirty Darlings. Bartenders by day, vigilantes by night. What started as a quest to find the man who murdered my sister, has turned into a mission to take down anyone who has done a woman or child wrong. The problem? My boyfriend, Mack Murphy, he's a federal agent whose job is to bring down the same bad guys I send to sleep with the fishes. You could say that creates a bit of tension in our relationship. So, where does that leave us? Hell, if I know. Your guess is as good as mine. My name is Daria Limonov and this is my story. (This book was previously published as parts of Dirty Ex-Mas and Dirty Daria, but has been rewritten.)
