Maeve Preece - stripper, dancer, sinner. Call her what you want. She's heard it all before.
Nights at Sapphire, one of New York City's most infamous strip clubs, blur together in a haze of neon lights, sweaty bills, and cheap perfume. Maeve dances, grinds, and sometimes serves drinks - anything to keep her head above water and her rent paid. Her life is built on survival, not dreams.
Until Harry walks in.
What started as obsession - the kind that borders on hate - turns into something far messier. One night together becomes two, then three, and so on, until Maeve realizes the one thing she swore would never happen has already begun: she's falling for him.
But love doesn't come easy when it's tangled in lies and blood.
Because Harry isn't just trouble - he is trouble.
A man with a reputation built on fear: drugs, money, murder, and every sin in between. Exactly the kind of life Maeve promised herself she'd never get dragged into again.
Now, it's too late.
She's already in deep - and the only way out might destroy them both.
What happens next?
Read to find out.
