Secrets.
Lies.
Betrayal.
Murder.
I’ve gotten away
with it all, but that won’t last forever.
I’m Bryce
Chandler, FBI agent and member of the Circle of Justice, a covert organization
that metes out retribution to those who’ve escaped the system without
punishment. For the last year I’ve been deep undercover, doing unspeakable
things to secure my place in the mafia world. These days I barely recognize the
man in the mirror, but Anthony Corsino is finally in my crosshairs.
He’s entrusted
me with the one thing he loves most—his daughter, Layla. She was just another
detail of the mission, until she was suddenly so much more. I never meant to
fall for the enemy, but I couldn’t resist. I’m in too deep. My brothers are
determined to get me out, but I can’t let them interfere. It’s my job to put
down the target. However, when I do, I’ll lose the only woman I’ve ever loved
and the only good thing left in my life. If I don’t, I’ll lose myself.
AMAZING!!! This story sucked me right in. It was like I was there! I love when I feel immersed into the story. Ms Dover never disappoints and I am always ecstatic when she releases new books!
Bryce is an FBI agent currently undercover. He has done many shady things to fit right into the mafia lifestyle so he can be noticed by the family on his list. Falling for the daughter of this dangerous family wasn’t the plan.
I loved everything about this story. I loved Layla and how she wasn’t your typical mobster daughter, I loved how badass Bryce is, and I loved these two together. This story not only keeps you on the edge of your seat but it’s pretty steamy too. There isn’t a book that I haven’t loved my Ms Dover and this one is no exception. I highly recommend.

Rushing out of
the media room, I ran through the foyer and up the stairs to Layla’s room. I
knocked hard on the door and listened. There was no sound or movement that I
could hear. “Layla, open the door.” Still, there was nothing. When I opened the
door, her closet was open, and it’d been cleaned out, along with her dresser.
“Motherfucker,” I huffed. “Layla!”
The sound of a
door slammed downstairs, so I took off out of her room. How the hell could I not
see her on the cameras? I ran down the stairs and out the patio door. There
were a line of trees blocking my sight of the driveway, but I could see the top
edge of one of the open garage doors. As I drew closer, I could see her tossing
her luggage in the back of a silver SUV. She’d changed out of her green
sundress from earlier into a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt.
“Where do you
think you’re going?” I called out as I stepped away from the trees. Layla
jerked around, eyes blazing like fire as she grabbed the gun at her waistband
and pointed it straight at me. I stopped and held up my hands. “Whoa. What the
hell are you doing?”
“I’m leaving.
And if you try to stop me, I’ll blow off your balls.”
Glancing down at
her gun, I couldn’t help but notice how perfect her stance was. She looked like
she knew what she was doing. “I don’t doubt it,” I replied cautiously. “Where’d
you get the gun?”
Her eyes
narrowed, but she kept the gun pointed at me. “My uncle.”
Still holding my
hands in the air, I slowly took a step forward. “Did he teach you how to shoot
as well?”
The muscles in
her jaw tightened. “Yes. Believe it or not, I’m not the helpless princess everyone thinks I am.”
“I never said
you were, Layla.” I nodded at the video camera just above the garage door. “How
did you get out here without me seeing you?”
She lifted her
chin, her lips tilting up in an evil grin. “You’re not the only one who knows
how to manipulate a camera. How else was I supposed to sneak out as a
teenager?”
Now I was
impressed. “Guess we all have our secrets. Can anyone see us right now?”
She shook her head. “No.” I took another step
closer, and her body tensed. “Dammit, Bryce, don’t test me. I already know my
father told you to stop me. No matter what he says or what you do, I am going
to get out of here.”
“And go where?”
I asked. “To the city to find out the answers?”
“If that’s what
it takes. I’m not returning until he tells me the truth.”
There was
nothing but sheer determination in her eyes. The woman was so goddamned
stubborn she’d get herself killed in the process. We were only about six feet
apart, with the gun still pointed at my chest. There was only one thing left to
do. I wasn’t about to underestimate her.
“What if I told
you what you want to know?” I said, hoping she could see the truth in my eyes.
Her lips pursed.
“Why should I believe you?”
“Because you
said it yourself—you’re not going to stop until you find out the answers. This
is the only way to keep you safe.” It was also the way to test her. I had to
know how far her loyalty went with her father. It might be what I had to do to
finish my mission. Anthony would surely try to come after me, but he’d have a
hell of a time trying to find me.
