HOT. HEARTBREAKING. INSPIRING.

Blazing hot, stand alone romance with a HEA and an ultra Alpha Dominant hero.

I’ve wanted her since the moment we met.

The girl whose boyfriend I beat the crap out of when I caught him cheating on her. The girl who coldly rejected me when I admitted my feelings to her.

The girl who I've never been able to stop thinking about even though I haven’t spoken to her in eight years.

Amber, my stepsister. My first and only love.

When I found out that her boyfriend was deep in debt to a local crime group known as the Sanchez family, I asked my best friend John to make sure they didn’t run into trouble while in town.

Of course, I asked him to watch her, not accidently bump into her on the street and develop a crush on her. But he managed to come up with an arrangement that would satisfy both of our desires.

When a series of events leads to Amber hiding in our shared house, it doesn’t take long for John to convince her to agree to the proposition.

Just as I start to get everything I ever dreamed of, the Sanchez family storms into my dominion to take it away. To take her away.

But they’ll have to put John and I in the ground to get to her.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A phone call. A common enough event, sometimes welcome, sometimes annoying, but seldom life changing. Or so we assume. But assumptions are dangerous things, and the reality is we all live one phone call away from disaster. One cheerful ring away from news of a tragic accident. One muted buzz from learning a lifetime of memories have disappeared in a raging house fire.

And so it is for Tom Dugan, rolling though the London night, the woman he loves in the taxi beside him. Life is good by any measure -- until his phone rings, alerting him to the arrival of two old Russian friends with a very big problem.

Dugan's attempts to help his friends rescue an innocent girl from the Russian mob plunge him into a world he'd scarcely imagined, endangering him and everyone he holds dear. A world of modern day slavery and unspeakable cruelty, from which no one will escape, unless Dugan can weather a Deadly Crossing.
