He’s a hardened ex-criminal. She’s a single mother with too much at stake. Adrik Volkov worked hard to wipe the slate clean of his criminal past. He busted his butt bringing Volkov Industries into the 21st century. But it's been worth it. His company’s patented mining techniques for harvesting rare earth metals used in electronics and smart tech have made him a billionaire. Instead of breaking legs, attending parties with people he neither likes nor understands is now part of his job. But money can’t erase his harsh upbringing. Once a brawler, always a brawler. But those skills come in handy when he sees a woman being accosted by a lowlife in a tailored suit. Sofia DiFalco is more than a damsel in distress. The curvy stranger makes his body buzz with desire and his hard heart beat a little faster. From the second he sees her, Adrik wants only one thing. Sofia in his bed. But after one tantalizing night, she disappears without a trace. He tries to forget her, but she’s an obsession he can’t let go of.

She was a temptation he couldn’t afford, but letting her go was not an option. Marat was the face of Volkov Industries. With his movie star good looks, he attracted class and money to the multi-billion dollar corporation, not to mention all the right PR. But being born with the face of an angel had its disadvantages. Expected to entertain associates, Marat’s activities were anything but celestial. And yes, it was exhausting. Sent on an errand to Sin City in the name of business, Marat needed a diversion. The curvy goddess serving drinks was exactly what this playboy billionaire craved. He was not looking for forever, but some temptations were too good to let go. Destiny Valdez ran away to Vegas as a teen with her head full of dreams. A dozen years later, those dreams were dust. Pulling a double shift with her slimy boss giving her a hard time was not how she’d planned to spend her birthday. But thus was life. ​​​​​​​She never expected a proposition from one of the most handsome men she’d ever seen. Daring her to take what she wanted, Marat Volkov presented the type of opportunity she only ever fantasized about. A night in his bed sounded exactly like what she needed. Waking up married? Not so much. She thought he was playing, but keeping his curvy Dumplin’ was a wild temptation he could not resist.

He was looking for something to do, then she walked into his life. Josef Aziz earned his reputation for stealth and lethality when he was in the military. Now, he was head of security for Volkov Industries. His employee package included a portfolio that earned him billions over the years. He could have retired a long time ago, but there was only so much work a man with his skill set could do. Without any family of his own, there was no reason to retire. After all, a man needed something to do. When Meredith Gray’s stepfather made a request, she had no choice but to answer. With his company in trouble, and their finances in ruin, there was only one place to turn. The Volkov family was supposedly out of the crime business, but old debts demanded payment. She never expected to run into him, though. Josef never thought he would see her again. The ice queen who’d turned him down flat years ago, but she’d requested a meeting with his employers and it was like a gift from above. He still wanted Meredith, despite everything she put him through. She needed help, and he would give it to her. But not for nothing. Making her beg was not enough. He wanted her so addicted she could not survive without his touch. There were no lengths he was not willing to go to secure his seduction of her. Sometimes the past was too wild to set free.

She needed shelter from the storm. He just needed her. Ellie Maxwell was a mother trying to protect her son from an abusive ex. Befriending the wives of wolves wasn't something she sought, but it was something she needed. It wasn't easy to pick yourself up after someone tried so hard to knock you down. But with these ladies' support, Ellie was on her way. That they were married to very powerful men didn't hurt, either. There was just one problem. Andres Ramirez. Called the prince of acquisitions, Andres was a rising star at Volkov Industries. His genius for business was renowned, but his penchant for making Ellie moan was a total secret. One she couldn’t afford to indulge. Andres’ attraction to the sweet-looking woman was off the charts. She was constantly on his mind, plaguing his dreams with images of the one time they were together. But the woman seemed determined to ignore him. Just when he thought he might go mad, she called with an outrageous proposition. Marry her to stop her ex? Yes. He could do that. Andres knew Ellie was it for him. This was his shot to prove it to her. But did the laws of attraction still apply when only one of the players was wild for the other?
