Jason Monclaire kidnapped the wrong woman.
All he wanted was a seat at the Monclaire family table. One clean job. One powerful rival’s daughter snatched from a private California beach. One dangerous drive back to Vegas. Deliver Couture Bellamy alive, and Jason finally earns the respect, money, and protection he’s been chasing his whole life.
But Couture is no helpless prize.
She is spoiled, sharp-tongued, beautiful, furious, and raised by a crime family that taught her how to survive men with guns and expensive lies. Jason thinks he can keep her locked in the trunk until Vegas. Couture has other plans.
Then the job turns dirty.
Bellamy men start chasing them. A ruthless enforcer wants Couture for himself. Jason’s uncle changes the delivery from ransom to something far worse. Now the woman Jason was supposed to hand over may be the only person telling him the truth.
Forced together through car chases, shootouts, motel hideouts, desert storms, stolen cars, and dangerous kisses, Jason and Couture become something neither family planned for.
Partners.
Lovers.
A problem.
To save Couture, Jason will have to betray the Monclaires. To claim her freedom, Couture will have to face the Bellamy empire that raised her like royalty and treated her like property.
In Vegas, love comes with blood on it.
And for the love of her, Jason might burn every family tie he ever wanted.
