What does it take to break a loan shark? What if he's already broken? Vincent: I'm vicious. Ruthless. Every f*cker in London fears me. And she has the b*llocks to walk into my warehouse? Jess is begging to be shark bait. She's looking for her brother. And for trouble. He went missing after stirring sh*t I didn't need. Now she's doing the same. She can't find out what happened. She can't leave. I point my gun between her innocent blue eyes, and I'm hit with the unthinkable. The trouble is mine. I've no choice but to take her. Her beautiful face could warm a cold-hearted killer. But she can't get into a heart that isn't there, can she? Jess: He knows my brother. The b*stard knows what happened. Vincent can lie. He can scare me. Take me. But I'll figure it out. And him. That's his mistake. He let me live. Those dark eyes hide a lot. But they reveal more than he'd like me to know. The big, bad loan shark can't fool me. I might be naive, but I'm sharp enough see what lies beneath. He's broken, and he can't hide from himself. I'll tear open those cracks. I have to. He's the only chance to find my brother. It's the only way to save myself. He can't hide the truth forever, can he?
