Sienna Keller saw how men used her mother, and from an early age she swore she’d never allow it to happen to her. So when she meets smooth-talking billionaire Gavin Crane, who uses his connections to help her art career, she resolves to keep things strictly professional—no matter how gorgeous he is.
Gavin might be the son of the head of the Kavanagh organized crime family, but he wants no part of that life. It’s important to him to prove to Sienna that he’s a good guy. But when she winds up in the hospital with a gunshot wound, he is driven to exact revenge. His father agrees to provide security to watch over her as well as find the man who shot her, but at a cost—Gavin must come back into the family business.
As Sienna begins to let her guard down around Gavin, seeing the kind, caring man he’s always wanted her to see, his secrets begin to pile up. Has she done the one thing she vowed never to do—trusted her heart to the wrong man?
Read an excerpt
“You
have your room keycard?”
She
pulled it from her black leather clutch purse. He took it from her, and with a
quick swipe at the lock, opened, and stood just inside the room with his back
braced flush against the door, giving her a wide area to pass without them
making contact.
Just
then her cell phone rang. She took it from her purse to view the display and
quickly connected. “Hey. Hold on a moment.” Pressing the phone at her chest,
she looked at Gavin, whose attention was laser focused on the phone in her
hand. “I have to take this.”
“I’ll
see you in the morning,” he said with little inflection as he reached to his
right and set the keycard on the entry table, then his steady stare held hers
briefly. “Sleep well.” He stepped out. The door closed quietly behind him.
Sienna
waited for the resounding clank of the door across the hall before she let go a
breath, and her pulse managed to calm. Wow. She’d expected he’d ask to come
inside. A small part of her, that perverse side of her, wanted him to, only so
she could turn him away. Turning down his invitation wouldn’t have been just
because she felt he was a player or a pain in the ass on occasion, it was
something else, some kind of deeply embedded feeling that her mind fought
against.
Oh what a ride. I love the combination of suspense and romance.
Some part surprisingly sweet. Some parts full of passion. And some parts filled with intrigue.
I could not help but root for Gavin. He's a catch!
I loved Sienna's will power and both her's and Gavin's desire to live a 'wholesome' life. Is it possible?
I enjoyed Devil's Gamble and look forward to reading many more in this series!
