BLURB:
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?

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.
