A handsome and sexy man with no emotion what-so-ever. Growing up without parents and the occasional mafia running into his office has drained the blood of his dark heart. Easy nights with a line-up of women for him to pick from, are common and plentiful in his attempt to fill that hollow void of his heart.

After her mother's death from the result of a mafia dealing gone wrong, it has become her life's mission to keep out of any gang business and to protect her father.

The Strip
Sienna Antoinette Harper had spent twelve years running from her past; now 28 she'd built up walls around her heart trying to keep people out and keep her heart hidden deep within. She'd even gone to court and changed her name legally. Somehow she had managed to straighten up her life enough to attend college and graduate at the top of her class in Accounting. And when her sister, who was also her best friend and works for Addison Technologies in Las Vegas, reaches out to Sienna letting her know that she'd secured an interview that would most certainly end up as a full time job. Little did Sienna know that her past and present would collide and perhaps endanger her future. Roan Michael Addison was a billionaire CEO of his own company Addison Technologies and owned one club on the Strip in Las Vegas. He was a workaholic and didn't have time for relationships. He never saw the same woman twice, he never treated them badly but they understood once they were with him that was it. Much to the chagrin of Roan's twin brother, Cade, who was totally different. He encouraged Roan to settle down but he just wasn't feeling it until she walked into the elevator at his company and then again at his club Leviathan one night and his feelings started to change rapidly. He didn't understand these feelings and tried to fight them. The harder he fought them the more he was pulled in especially when he found out that she not only worked at his company but was the best friend of his brother's fiance, Lisbeth. Would he be able to uncover what it was about her that pulled him in like a moth to a flame? Could he help her break down the walls she'd worked so desperately to construct?
