Kane Bishop is everything women are warned about.

An enforcer for a dangerous cartel built on drugs, guns, and violence. A man with a body count that has nothing to do with the women who've warmed his bed.

I know better than to step into his world. My law degree alone proves I have a brain and at least some common sense.

And yet here I am—half-naked in Kane's apartment, hiding from my cop brother, while the most dangerous man I've ever met stitches my wounds back together.

We both know we should walk away.

We both know we won't.

Because when the good girl collides with the criminal, someone's bound to get burned.

Is a happily ever after even possible? Probably not.

But will I fight for us until my last breath? Absolutely.
