Inspired by true events Angela is celebrating a successful heist, when the last person in the world she wanted to see waltzed back into her life. Years ago, Jamal ripped her heart out and tossed it on the ground. But he's back, beefed up from prison and wanting to make amends for dumping her. He's still the same dominant man she'd fallen in love with, but with a calmer head on his shoulders. He promises to protect her from her bad decisions and wild past, and with the mob indebted to him over his time, she believes him. When he offers her the chance to manage his strip club and answer to nobody but him, the temptation is more than she can ignore. But can they get over all of the secrets and lies they've told one another while avoiding being sucked back into a life of crime?

It wasn't just him she was lusting for... Angela is slipping back into old habits and falling for dangerous men who are sexy as hell. She promised herself she was going to turn her life around, to be a good girl and let go of her wild past. But after catching a glimpse of a bland, boring future, she finds herself at a bar, drowning her sorrows. Instead of a good man for her future, she finds Romy. Gorgeous, shady and completely attracted to her. His charm and bravado ensnare her faster than she can run. It should have just been one night, but once she has a taste of him, she craves more; he's her addiction to get through her drab days. She knows she's in over her head. He has dark secrets. Secrets she has to feign ignorance to, until she is handed the opportunity to make some quick cash and make a clean break from it all. From him. From her poverty. It's just one little job. Takes place just before The Narrow Path.
