Publisher's Synopsis
Everything has always come easy to me. School. I had great grades. Money. I grew up with it. Women. I met and married the woman I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with when we were in college. After she was killed, I'd vowed never to let another woman near my heart again. But having one to keep my bed warm at night was never a problem.
Enter the beautiful server at Jake's Diner.
After a night of flirting and an exchange of phone numbers that included future dates, I expected Harleigh Harlow to still be in my bed the next morning when I woke up. It was a kick to my ego to find her gone. I didn't expect I'd feel heartsick. I'm usually the one to walk away. Never the other way around.
Licking my wounds isn't simple. Somehow, Harleigh has gotten under my skin. Getting her out of my head is the hardest thing I've ever done. Since she's ghosted me, though, I don't have a choice.
When Harleigh crashes back into my life again, though, I'm blindsided. Protecting innocent lives has never been a challenge, so I know saving her will be the easy part. Keeping her from shattering my heart again when it's all over? That will be a different war altogether.
This book is a steamy Dark Mafia Romance. It is a second chance, age gap romance with dark, graphic, violent themes, and strong language that may not be suitable for all readers.
