But one night of celebration shatters his composure when he spots the girl he once protected like family... now dancing on a stage for strangers. Talia Reyes isn't ashamed of what she does.

Fifteen years apart, their worlds collide in a storm of lust, history, and unspoken pain. Julian wants to pull her out. Talia refuses to be rescued. But in a city where power has a price and desire has consequences, some connections burn too deep to walk away from.
