Daughter of the club's enforcer and blood tied to an Albanian mafia clan across the sea, she should have come home untouched by the world. Instead, she returns changed, carrying years no one can explain. No one knows where she has been or how she survived it, and Zara plans to keep it that way.

"Gomar!" she screamed again, right in my face this time. (Asshole!) The door slammed hard enough to shake the frame. I stood there staring at the wood, breathing through my nose, every muscle in my body locked tight. Downstairs the clubhouse carried on. Laughter. Music. Glass. Life. Up here it was just me, the door, and the heat still moving under my skin where she'd shoved her hands into my chest. I dragged one hand over my mouth. Ten years. Ten fucking years. And she was here. Furious at me. Hurting. Sharp because she was cut open and trying to make sure no one got close enough to see it. And Christ. She was still the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
