Summary: In a world built on blood and violence, where the merciless thrive, falling in love carries with it its own special set of risks. Never was that truer than for Carter Gerring, an electronics expert with a unique skill-set. Carter is hired by Larry Hooks, a ruthless underworld kingpin with a number of potential legal problems he wants to disappear. While eliminating the various forms of incrimination Hooks and his men create, Carter finds himself falling for the boss’s daughter.
Tamryn Hooks is the much-loved daughter Larry Hooks would gladly kill to protect. For most of her life, she’s been shielded from many of the harsh realities of her father’s business. Then, a seemingly innocent favor for her doting father places her in the middle of an impossible situation she sees no way out of. As Tamryn searches for a solution and an escape, her dilemma is further complicated by an ongoing feud with her sister and her deepening feelings for Carter, the unassuming intellectual with a dark reputation.
When Carter and Tamryn find themselves entrenched in the mire of her father’s criminal enterprise, the secrets they and others keep, and their need for one another, will their forbidden love be their saving grace? Or will it be the Achilles’ heel that ultimately leads to their demise?
