In a world swirling with secrets and lies, can their passion survive?

After her mob boss father sends his men to kill her, Isabella Giordano runs from the only life she's ever known. Unable to stay in one place for long, she changes her identity frequently, keeping one step ahead of certain death. Despite her past threatening to haunt her forever, she lands a job waitressing at a private club, where a gorgeous, protective older dominant has her daydreaming about what the future might hold. If only she could trust that her luck might be changing.

Dan Ogilvie's romantic intuition has never amounted to much, but his service as a Marine and his career as a cop has sharpened his detective's gut instincts. When an unfortunate incident with a pitcher of frozen margaritas brings him face-to-face with the newest waitress at Club Decadence, he decides to do more than exert his dominance on the mysterious young lady. Digging into Bella's past leads to dead ends at every turn, and Dan's growing feelings for her are getting in the way of uncovering her secrets. Soon he can't decide what he wants more: to get to the bottom of who she is or to train her as his sweet little submissive?

When mob goons arrive at her door, Dan's questions become his worst fears. He's prepared to use all of Rossi Security's resources to keep his beautiful newbie safe and eliminate her father's threats once and for all. But as the dust clears and Bella is left stunned, her trust shaken, can Dan convince her that their love is worth the risk?
