In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart. ZIGGY MAVERICK It was supposed to be an easy assignment. All I had to do was infiltrate a luxury lounge and destroy the owners if necessary. Except, nothing about this job is simple. Especially when I’m partnered with the one woman I shouldn’t want. Before the mission, my crush on her was my biggest secret. She’s always been the one line I shouldn’t cross even if her presence teased me like delicious forbidden fruit daring me to take a bite. I gave her the space she didn’t know she needed. Allowed her to date men who didn’t deserve her. Some battle demons daily, while I battle with the notion that the only woman I’ve ever loved never loved me back. She was older and wiser, while I was too young and reckless to fight for her back then. However, I’m not the wide-eyed college student she remembers. Now, I’m dangerous, focused, and dead set on claiming what was never mine.
