A ruthless underworld boss will do anything to claim the only woman he ever loved in the New York Times–bestselling author’s gritty romantic suspense.
Don’t be fooled. Don’t make excuses for me. I am not a good man. I’ve seen things no one should, done things I can never undo. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I’ve fought and I’ve survived. I’ve had to.
The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second-rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.
I’m here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. And now she’s disappeared. But don’t worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine. Like I said, don’t be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise . . . I’m the one standing front and center.
