It is a truth universally acknowledged that a playboy wants a one-night stand... No strings attached. Gabriel Hill dates someone new every night. Glamorous parties and smoke-filled clubs. He has no interest in the prim little baker. Until he finds out she's connected to his family's downfall. He wants information. Revenge. And worst of all, he wants Elise Bettencourt in his bed. Again and again and again. There's no future between them. A woman who's fought to build a new life for herself. And the man who will bring it all down.

Gabriel Hill has everything he ever wanted… a position in the powerful consortium. These wealthy men own half of New York City. And they murdered his parents. He can finally exact revenge. Except he has to leave behind Elise Bettencourt. It was inevitable, really. Gabriel will lose everyone getting vengeance. There’s only room for one person on this suicide mission. Even if he started to care for the sweet little baker. Especially because he started to care for her. Love is dangerous in the Hill family. It went up in flames years ago. This time, Gabriel is going to light the match himself.

Gabriel Hill has always been too charming for his own good. Women. Money. Information. Sex got him everything he ever wanted, until it almost killed him. A price he was willing to pay, before he met Elise. Before he fell for her. Now revenge isn't enough for him. He wants it all. The most beautiful woman. The most dangerous game. And a happily ever after, if it's not too late to save them both.
