I ran from one monster into the arms of another.

Dancing was supposed to be temporary—a means to pay for dental school while staying out of sight. But when the club gets a new owner, everything changes.

Sean O’Sullivan walks in with his Irish charm, and I know immediately he's trouble. He's mafia, the kind of man who takes what he wants and destroys anyone in his way.

Our age gap should matter to me. His reputation should terrify me. But when he looks at me like I'm the only woman in the world, and his touch sets me on fire, I forget why I need to stay hidden.

But I should have run the moment his attention fixed on me, before his protection became a cage, before his obsession consumed us both. Now I'm trapped between the devil I'm running from and the one who's decided I belong to him.

And time is running out before my past destroys us both.
