Sapphire. The stone known for new love and commitment. To me, it means freedom. And I would destroy anyone who tries to take it away from me.

Milina Porter is a name few know. Now, I’m a ghost who works in the shadows. Car heists is what my name is known for, and my reputation is infamous. Secrets haunt a past that I’ll do anything to keep buried. I’ve been running from a devil who makes death seem like a mercy. Now, I have a chance to escape him for good. Only, I can’t do it alone. I need to partner with others who share my expertise in heists. Which is how I ended up in Ridgewood to work with the Riot Crew. Stuck with men who are intent on running me out of their town. Our hate for each other is nearly as explosive as the raw tension bleeding between us. Their suspicions of me run as deep as my distrust for them. I need them even though I’ll never admit why. Once the job is done, I’ll disappear without a trace, and they’ll be nothing but a memory. No matter how hard they try to keep me here.
