Hotly pursued by a dangerously sexy mobster, a down-on-her-luck cocktail waitress finds her life―and her dead-end marriage―derailed in the name of love.

Jagger Thatcher doesn't take no for an answer. As second in command of the criminal empire that rules Las Vegas, known as the Vale Syndicate, he's used to taking what he wants. And from the moment he encounters the exquisite Eden Thorne, he's determined to make her his. There's just one thing keeping him from claiming the beautiful cocktail waitress: She's married.

Trapped in a toxic union and working two demanding jobs, Eden has long given up on escaping her reality . . . until she meets Jagger. His presence alone conjures up the wildest of fantasies within her. But it's his loyalty, fierce protection, and the promise of passion gleaming in his eyes that keep her up at night.

Still, Eden resists his advances. Where Jagger sees a problem with an easy fix, she's resigned to staying true to her husband, bonded to him over their shared childhood trauma. But everything changes when all that's familiar to her comes crashing down―only to be replaced by Jagger's strength, heat, and sensual power.

Eden knows her hunger for Jagger, a man whose lavish lifestyle is powered by darkness, isn't without a price. But is she ready to pay it?
