Giancarlo "Gio" Ferraro is the filthy don of New York, and he always gets what he wants. When his Saturday evening escort takes a turn for the worse, Gio demands a visit - and an explanation - from her boss, the owner of the Q Agency, Kara Delaine.

Kara hasn't survived and thrived without knowing how to handle an influential man. But the prospect of being alone and indebted to the powerful and seductive Gio sets her on edge. But two can play at this game. Gio Ferraro may be the underground king of New York, but Kara Delaine is the queen. And there's no way she's letting Gio reign over her.
