SEDUCED BY THE MAFIA BOSS
He kidnapped me to keep me safe. But who will save me from him?
* * *
I'm Kristi.
Frantically, I fly to Vegas to find my missing cousin.
Instead, I'm caught by Ridge—my sexy AF one-night stand who disappeared at dawn.
Now he's wearing expensive suits and running with mobsters.
When I stumble too close to the truth, he hauls me to his lair.
He claims he's keeping me safe...but he's dangerous. And I'm keeping a secret.
One that makes me the ultimate target for his enemies.
If I want to live, I have to trust the man who broke my heart.
Because he alone can doom us...or save our future.

This Saturday night in Vegas is shaping up to be anything but the usual. Sure, the casino is hopping. People happily toss their money on the tables, hoping Lady Luck will smile on them. I scoff. As if mobster Marco Donzelli would ever let the house lose its ass.
But the big boss is up to something. Shit is going down. I feel it. So it’s a fucking bad time for this call.
“What do you mean ‘she’s gone’?” I hiss into the phone, locking myself in the john so no one can hear my business.
Ryan, my old pal doing me a big favor back in Big D, sighs. “That redhead you’ve had me watching? She ran a few errands this morning, came back to her apartment, then headed out a while later, rolling a suitcase.”
“What?” Kristi Knolls had nothing important on her calendar today. I should know. I hacked into her phone and started tracking it—and her—months ago.
She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m coming for her. I have plans. Soon.
No way she’s escaping me.
“Yeah. She was rolling a suitcase, then she climbed into an Uber. I followed her to the airport, but I lost her at security.”
Because Ryan wasn’t getting on a plane, and she was.
Shit.
“Any idea where she was heading?”
