I'm Chicago Police Department's problem Lieutenant, and I like it that way. I lead my own Major Crimes Task Force. My brother is Lucinio Mafia's fearless King, and my cousin is the leader of the Crane Mafia.

It's only obvious that I'm going to have an authority problem, which I do, and want to lead things my own way, also what I do. I'm good at my job. Probably why I still have one.

But that all crashes down when I find out the woman who once possessed my heart has a dark past that still has its vicious claws in her.

Skyla Winters might just be a friend who became a painful to be around acquaintance, but I'll never allow her demons to drag her back to the hell she came from.

Only, Skyla and I have history, and it's not that innocent. I'll do whatever I need to do to protect her, but I'll be damned if she thinks she'll ever hold my heart in her hands again.

This book is a steamy Dark Cop/Mafia Romance. It is a second chance, fake engagement romance with dark, graphic, violent themes, and strong language that may not be suitable for all readers.
