Lexie West knows who she is and where her life is going. As a plus-size ER nurse working in New York City she thought she was prepared for anything that could be thrown at her. When she trades her travel contract at the hospital for a job house-sitting a luxury penthouse apartment, her only plans are to drink margaritas, try a few recipes, and find a good karaoke bar.
Until one night, when she rounds the corner to find a dangerously attractive giant standing in the penthouse kitchen who claims to own the apartment she is staying in.
She’s seen it all.
But she never could have expected him.
A knock on Lexie’s bedroom door in the middle of the night changes everything. Suddenly, she’s being swept into a world of violence, crime, and influence by a man who solves impossible problems for powerful people.
She’s an unexpected wildcard in his perfect game but he’ll do anything he can to have her… by any means necessary.
**This is a stand alone dark romance with a confident, plus size main character and a dangerous, tattooed, bearded male lead. Please be sure to read the trigger warnings!**
