Book Description
Publication Date: January 23, 2015
Victoria Hart is supposed to be the enemy. She is an undercover detective who infiltrated my hotel and casino as an employee to take down my illegal enterprise. What she doesn’t know is I am fully aware of it. The operation I’m orchestrating is monumental compared to anything her mind could envision.
It’s the burning desire I feel when she’s near that I didn’t see coming. An unwavering draw to touch her, and the need to break down her walls is testing my restraint; however, nothing can stand in the way of my ultimate goal. She could destroy everything my brothers and I have worked toward to avenge our father’s death.
To keep the upper hand, it is vital to know your enemy. How deeply can I go, peeling back her intriguing layers while still concealing the truth? How much of Victoria can I claim before she’s too close … too close for me to let her go?
This novel ends in a cliffhanger and is for a mature audience due to harsh language and descriptive sexual scenes.

Excerpt 
Adrian’s POV:
“I’m Adrian Cassano, the owner of this hotel and casino. I was quite impressed with your moves, Ms. Victoria Stuart,” I say with a smirk.
“It’s Vicky, sir, and how did you see that already? I mean–thank you.”
“Can you explain what transpired?”
“He grabbed my ass, which I would’ve excused, but he refused to move his hand afterward, so I had to do it for him.”
I eye her intently. That wasn’t exactly the response I expected. “So, you’re OK with random men grabbing your ass?”
She scowls. “No, but for the sake of my job, I was willing to let it slide once.” She’s giving me attitude, and damn, she’s gorgeous. This will be more enjoyable than I anticipated.
“I see.” Staring into her striking, green eyes for several seconds, I find she’s determined to hold my gaze.
“I think it would be best to move you to an environment where the cliental will not be touching you without your permission. Although the asshole deserved it, I don’t need a lawsuit, and he would not be the last to grab your ass.”
She continues to scowl. At least her attitude suits her day job. Yes, I believe I’m going to enjoy every second of my time with Victoria. She will be easy to torment since she likely feels she has to keep her mouth shut around me. I have a suspicion that is not something she’s used to doing. I’m sure she doesn’t want to lose this job and blow her case. The investigation I’m fully aware of.

Excerpt #2
Victoria’s POV:
Reaching down, I zip up my black thigh high boot. I’d never tell my detective partner, Reggie, but I feel badass and sexy as the zipper tightens the shiny, black patent leather against my toned leg.
“It appears his mother, Denise, has been in and out of mental facilities his entire life,” I say. “His father, Alvin Cassano, died in the Twin Towers during 9/11. Adrian, his three brothers, and one sister were left with a hefty insurance policy, and he enlisted in the Marines after.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed Adrian Cassano to be ex-military,” Reggie says.
“Once discharged, he and his brothers moved to Vegas and built the hotel and casino.”
“Be careful, Victoria.” Reggie is leaning back against my bedroom door, conveying a stern look.
“Seriously? What is your deal over this job?” I ask as I zip up my second boot.
“Have you forgotten we’re partners? I can’t be in there with you, and it’s making me crazy.”
“I’m a cop. I earned this detective job because of my ability since they sure as hell don’t give it to women otherwise. I can take care of myself.”
He slides his hand through his curly, dark hair. “That’s what worries me. You think you’re invincible.”
