Arabella Boyd has finally escaped the violence of London. She waitresses. She pays her own bills (mostly) on time. Her criminal father is out of her life, on the run, and out of her mind. But violence knows where she lives. The men her father is indebted to know where she lives too. Cold-eyed, armed, and impossible to read, Nikolai Vaz is exactly the sort of man Bella knows to stay away from. Unfortunately, he's also the only thing standing between her and the people hunting her father down. The deeper Bella gets dragged into the criminal underworld she tried to escape, the more she realises one terrifying truth: Nikolai Vaz might be the most dangerous man she's ever met. And she's beginning to feel safest when he's near.
