A fun weekend at a friend’s wedding in Denver takes a bizarre twist for Anna Scott when her rental car is pulled over due to an “anonymous tip.” In her trunk…a dead man linked to warring crime families in Denver and New York. It should be easy for an innocent woman to be cleared for an simple mix-up. But was it a mistake? The police aren’t so sure, and neither is the crime boss who wants vengeance for his son-in-law’s death. Suddenly appearing on the radar means that now Anna Scott is in real trouble. Two years ago, Anna Scott didn’t exist. The police think she knows way too much about criminal procedures and they’re determined to find out her secret. Their attention forces Anna to play a deadly game of cat and mouse with both the mafia and the police. This twist of fate could not only expose her, but place her, and anyone close to her in jeopardy. Jake Griffin is playing a deadly game. He’s spent the last few months undercover in the Moretti crime family. The mysterious and beautiful Anna Scott is a big problem. Moretti assigns him to find out who she is and what she’s after, and to kill her if she becomes a problem. Jake needs to focus on taking down Moretti, not risking his life and career protecting a sexy woman who is a complete mystery. Unfortunately, he can’t stop wondering about her. He knows she’s lying, but his gut instincts, and the bone deep desire he feels every time he sees her, won’t allow him to walk away. He discovers that he’s willing to go to war with the whole world for one alluring, yet vulnerable woman. He can’t seem to stop taking desperate gambles where she’s concerned. The most dangerous of all might be trusting her with the truth. This is a 112k stand alone romantic suspense that will melt your butter.

Anna Scott faces a difficult choice. Can she continue to lie to a man who was risking his life to save her? Can she really be falling in love with a criminal? But perhaps a killer is exactly who she needs to help her face her past. Perhaps Nick is strong enough to help her survive the truth. Anna still thinks Jake Griffin is really Nick Malone, one of crime boss Moretti's go-to guys. He's falling hard and fast for a woman with too many secrets...and he has plenty of his own. When Moretti sends another member of the family to eliminate Anna, Grif realizes his time has run out. He's in too deep with the Moretti family, has a duty as a detective, but all he can think about is keeping Anna safe. Anna is his to protect, and he needs to know her real name and what horrors hide in her past to do so. Once he learns who Anna really is, he'll do anything to keep her close...except tell her the truth about himself. He'll make her love him. Make her stay. Because if she runs, he can't protect her.

Anna Scott has given Nick everything. Her heart, her body, and the truth about her past. But every action has consequences, and now, thanks to her, Nick is in more trouble than ever. He's running from his old boss, distracted from his undercover work, and secretly negotiating with the most powerful mafia boss in New York. She knows the only way to free him is to step into the spotlight once more and face her enemies. She is convinced that Nick must stay in the shadows to be safe, but the stubborn man isn't cooperating. Once she learns the truth about him—that he's really Jake Griffin—she realizes that his sense of honor and duty will get him killed. Protecting the man she loves is the only thing that matters to her now, no matter the cost. Jake Griffin is in love with a woman on the run. The woman he knew and fell in love with was an illusion born of desperation. Anna Scott has powerful enemies and blood in her past, but neither can deny the passion between them. Grif will do whatever it takes to help her, including recruiting a notorious killer to help him. Grif will walk the razor's edge between right and wrong, good and evil, truth and lies, because Anna Scott is everything to him now, and he'll play any game, take any risk to save her from the monsters in her past, and from herself.

Anna Scott is a survivor. With Grif's help, the Anna Scott persona is dead to the world, and to the Moretti family that once hunted her. But rising like a phoenix from the ashes, Anna has rocketed back into the spotlight, back into her old life of power, money, and privilege. Back into a war she never had any hope of winning. But that was before she had a powerful lover beside her, a man willing to walk through fire to stay at her side. For the first time in her life, Anna finds the courage to trust and hopes that her foolish heart hasn't betrayed her once again. Jake Griffin is one step closer to his ultimate goal, a life with Anna. Unfortunately, his old crime boss, Moretti, is the least of their worries. Anna's real family makes the Moretti's look like amateurs when it comes to murder, and now he has not just Anna, but her vulnerable younger sister to protect from both her family and the assassin sent to kill her. Playing cat and mouse with the mafia, the media and her evil ex-husband will push them both to edge, and put their love to the ultimate test.
