When elite spy Briar Lockett is assigned to take down Asher Blackwood, a ruthless Mafia boss with secrets darker than anyone can imagine, she expects the mission to be like any other. Undercover as a quiet bakery worker, she's supposed to get close, gain his trust, and gather intel. But Asher isn't like her past targets. He's charming, unpredictable, and seems to see through her every move.

As she delves deeper into his world, Briar begins to unravel a complex web of lies, power, and loyalty. She's forced to confront the possibility that her mission might not be as clear-cut as it seems-and that Asher Blackwood may be more than just a criminal to her.

In a high-stakes game of deception and desire, Briar and Asher find themselves on a collision course, torn between the lives they've chosen and the dangerous attraction pulling them together. But in a world where trust can be deadly, can they afford to let their guards down? Or will their secrets destroy them both?All Rights Reserved

Now, between a man who watches her from the dark, a bodyguard who seems to know more than he lets on, and a CEO who feels too familiar-Sharon is caught in a dangerous game of deception, obsession, and fate. In a city where secrets are currency and power is deadly, one thing is certain: she was never meant to be ordinary. And her long-lost 'husband' is finally coming to claim what's his.
