My life is finally what I want it to be.

Griffin and my father are finally getting along, and Griffin has decided to retire from the hitman business. We talked about our future, and I told him there's no future for us without children, and thankfully he agreed.

But that perfect life is shattered when strange men pull up to the gallery. I don't have time to make more than one phone call, so I decide to call Griffin instead of the cops. He can't get to me in time, but he promises that he'll find me soon enough.

I'm forced onto a plane and then into a prison cell in Morocco. I'm all alone in a cell, and I'm not sure what's going to happen to me. All I think about is Griffin, knowing he'll get me out of here before it's too late.

Buttons and Hope is the twelfth installment of the Beyond Buttons Series, a bestselling alpha male, dark mafia romance.
