Therapist Nicole Hudson is supposed to have it all, but in reality, she's struggling, and when a forbidden attraction to her new patient, Hunter, drags her into his dangerous world, her life is at as much risk as her heart.

Standalone in the Sons of Sin series

***

Nicole Hudson has her dream job as a therapist, a supportive family, and incredible friends. But no one knows that she battles every day with her self-worth and a hidden eating disorder, questioning constantly: can she help others heal when she hasn't managed to heal herself?

The delicate balance she maintains is upended when she finds herself fascinated by her newest client, a convicted felon on parole, Hunter Scott. His arrogance and defiance are only matched by his mysterious allure. And the more time she spends with Hunter, the more Nicole finds herself challenged at every turn to confront the blurred lines between right and wrong.

As the heat between them builds, Nicole is drawn into the dangerous world of organized crime that Hunter inhabits. A world where alliances are forged with blood and trust is a precious rarity, and the only way to survive might be further entangling themselves in the forbidden dance of emotion between them.

"Agreed except for the smart thing." Octavius stared ahead, biting into the apple. The crunch noise sounded almost delectable and erotic. She watched his mouth closely. "So you think I'm sexy?" He pauses in bite and glances at her sideway. Rubbing his tongue over his teeth, he simply stares. There was an unbeatable pause between them. They continued to stare, no one daring to look away.
