Soul isn't new to the 'street life' she hates it and all that it brings. That life did nothing but take from her family.

Imani Swan is a college student knee-deep in student debt. She realizes that both her job and her side-hustle are not bringing in enough cash when she is hired as an assistant for the don of the Russian-American Mafia and a prominent fighter in New York's underground boxing community, Dominic Altov. "I'm sorry, Imani," Dominic says, looking up from the skin on my wrist. My heart rate speeds up. Everything he does feels so good. He turns us around so that my back is toward the counter. He smoothly lifts me from the floor and places me on top of the cool marble surface. Even on the counter, he towers over me. I open my legs, allowing him to step in between them. He pulls me impossibly closer to him and places his hands on either side of my hips. He whispers in my ear once again, before drawing his eyes back to mine. "Do you forgive me?" I reply almost too fast. But my body yearns for his touch. "Yes." My voice is breathless. All I want is for him to touch me again. I want to feel him on me. He must have noticed my disarray. His lips skim absent-mindedly on my jawline. "Tell me what you want." He mumbles against the soft skin on my face. My breathing grows faster. I throw my head back, giving him more access to me. "Touch me, Dominic."

Tasha Clarke is twenty-seven and stuck. What was meant to be a temporary job at a golf club has stretched into years of serving drinks, forcing smiles, and enduring the leers of men twice her age. With her best friend Nyla's wedding on the horizon, Tasha can't help but feel left behind. Nyla has love, stability, and a future. Tasha has routine and a gnawing hunger for something more-something dangerous enough to make her feel alive again. Across the ocean, 30 year-old, Ignacio Montoya prepares to step into Seattle for the first time in years. His empire stretches across continents, claiming cities like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles in blood and power. But Seattle remains unscarred-a weakness he intends to remedy. On the surface, Ignacio comes as a best man, to toast the wedding of his oldest friend. Beneath the tailored suit, however, lies a predator's intent. He sees Seattle not as a city of celebration, but as prey. Ignacio Montoya is a storm-silent until he breaks, relentless once he does. While Tasha aches for change and Ignacio charts his conquest, fate coils their paths together. What begins as a wedding celebration will unravel into something far more dangerous: a collision of hunger and power, yearning and control. When the storm finally reaches her, Tasha Clarke's life-and Seattle itself-will never be the same.
