Shane Mallick doesn’t do relationships—he breaks kneecaps and collects debts for his family’s loan shark business. But when his meddling mother demands he bring a date to family dinner, he’s desperate enough to strike a deal with the last woman he should want—Lea, the mysterious, sharp-tongued phone sex operator working for his sister-in-law.
Lea needs cash, and fast. A fake date with the grumpy enforcer? Easy money. Except nothing about Shane is easy—especially when one dinner turns into another, and their arrangement keeps pulling them back together. His rough edges shouldn’t tempt her. Her secrets should send him running. But neither one can seem to stay away.
Shane’s world is dangerous—but Lea’s past might be deadlier. And when the threats closing in on her collide with the woman he would kill to protect, they’ll have to decide if what’s between them is just business…or something that’s worth risking everything for.
