The right-hand man of a notorious mobster, J has no identity
outside of his work—until the night he meets Nikki Larson.
Sent to intimidate the strong-willed bar owner, he falls for
her fast and hard.
Returning home after her father’s death, Nikki is once again
forced to clean up his mess. To settle her family debt, a
mob boss wants to use her bar in his criminal enterprise and
sends an enforcer to back up the proposition. Nikki refuses
to show fear to the henchman assigned to monitor her. In
fact, she enjoys taunting J, even as she’s strangely
attracted to his gloominess.
When a rival gang invades the bar, J rescues Nikki and they
go on the run from both the mob and the law. J’s growing
love for Nikki demands he choose between the only life he’s
ever known and an uncertain future with a challenging woman
who might not love him back. Two wildly different people
struggle to find common ground, but escaping the past means
overcoming danger from all sides.
