Saff has always been the mafia’s most unpredictable asset—sharp-tongued, fiery-tempered, and entirely unbothered by rules. But when the boss hands her a new assignment—become the silent face of a sleek new nightclub and keep their money clean—Saff’s got to swap brass knuckles for business casual. There’s just one Soren Vale. All sharp suits, sharp instincts, and sharp eyes that don’t miss a thing. He’s used to being in control and prefers working alone—until Saff walks in. He doesn’t trust her, not really, but he wants her enough to ignore his gut. They both meant to keep it strictly business. Then came the long looks, the close calls, and the lines they can’t stop crossing. Their business deal turns into an affair neither of them can afford—especially not when Soren starts asking questions, and Saff’s not only lying to Soren about who she is, but lying to her boss about who she’s with. If the truth comes out, she won’t just lose Soren. She’ll lose her reputation, her place in the only world she’s ever known, and the love of the found family she’d been searching for her whole life. In the end, they’ll both have to can love survive when everything else is a lie? * this book can be read as a standalone*
