I always knew there’d be a cost to pay for being a thief, but when I cross Gavin Alexander, the wicked price he demands might be more than I can afford. After living on the streets for years, I managed to get my life together for my son. I have a job as a housekeeper. A car that runs. A tiny apartment. But when things suddenly become dire, I’m left with no choice but to steal again. I make myself believe it’s chump change for my boss, the billionaire would never notice the few hundred dollars from his dirty laundry. My mistake isn’t that it’s pennies to a wealthy man. It’s that he’s not just any wealthy man. He’s the king of the Vegas underworld, a dangerous criminal with dangerous enemies. When he catches me red handed and his eyes trail over me, a flicker of desire forms in them and he makes me a deal. Report me to the police and lose my son, or enter his dangerous world and submit to his wicked desires.
