...
Davina James thought she'd escaped the worst of it.
After years trapped in an abusive relationship with a rising New York crime lord, she finally breaks free-disappearing into the shadows of Las Vegas with nothing but a duffel bag of cash and a promise her brother made years ago: If you ever decide to leave him, I'll be here.
Desperate to survive without exposing her past, Davina takes a job as a bartender at La Rosa Nera-the most exclusive strip club on the Strip. What she doesn't know is that the club is owned by Lucian Accardi, a man far more dangerous than the one she fled.
Lucian rules the Las Vegas underworld with silence and blood. He watches everything. Misses nothing. And the moment Davina walks through his doors, he wants her.
Soft-spoken. Bruised. Hiding something.
Lucian sees it all.
And worse-he decides she's his.
But claiming her comes with a price. Davina's brother is the detective hunting Lucian's empire from the inside. Her past is a powder keg waiting to ignite. And Lucian? He doesn't do love.
He does possession.
Twisted loyalty. Forbidden attraction. Power. Control.
In this world, survival means surrender.
And surrendering to a man like Lucian Accardi might just ruin her... or set her free.
