Scarlet Drew is new to London’s criminal underworld, but she’s hell-bent on making a name for herself as joint head of the family firm alongside her aunt Lily. But when Scarlet finds herself alone with a rival business owner at a black-tie event, she is little prepared for what happens next. Determined not to let the drunken leech get away with his crime, Scarlet hatches a plan for revenge - she’s going to steal his most valuable asset and put her name on the map.

Emma Sharpe is recovering from a shattering loss while her husband, Colin Donovan, is deep into his latest undercover mission. So they’re grateful to enjoy a peaceful autumn weekend together on the Southern Maine coast to celebrate Colin’s brother Andy’s wedding.

He is surprised to recognize one of the victims as an undercover British intelligence officer.

I thought I had found my break - saving the daughter of one of the most influential mob bosses in Detroit, escaping by her side. I thought I would be in the good graces of the Silent Family, but of course, just like anything with the mafia, things aren't that simple.

But when he looks at me, there's something in his dark eyes. Something carnal. Something hungry.
