Government contractor Bentley Cummings has built a career on being ruthless, feared, and unflappable. Emotions are an occupational hazard in his work of taking down criminals and distancing himself from his family’s Mafia roots. He did this well until his current case leads to one very sexy but potentially dirty cop. Officer Cliff Sparks didn’t know what hit him.

He never wanted to work for a private security company, and he certainly never wanted to work alongside the tall, handsome man leading the investigation against him. This enemies to lovers tale twists around conspiracies, organized crime, unexpected love, and the true meaning of family. As their mutual attraction grows, so do the life-and-death dangers Bentley and Cliff face in uncovering the truth. With stakes at an all-time high, will they hold onto their budding love, or be taken out… forever?
