One explosive encounter brought them together.
One infatuation led to a love like no other.
One secret tore them apart.
As head of the NYPD Organized Crime Control Bureau in Manhattan, Chief Detective Mason Cole walks in the line of fire every day. Between dodging bullets and braiding his daughter’s hair, Mason is tormented with haunting memories that refuse to relinquish control over him, no matter how hard he tries. After a bust gone wrong, he’s thrown for a loop by a woman who will fill his life with more chaos than ever before.
Lindsey Jenkins is a self-made woman. Bold and independent, she lives unapologetically in a life of deception. That is until her facade is threatened by a force stronger than anything she’s ever felt before—love.
Leaving their hearts unguarded could lead to destruction. Even worse, it could expose them both to a war they never saw coming.
In a city coerced by corruption and treachery, what happens when your greatest passion becomes your biggest weakness?

Reaching the bottom of the steps, I spot Alison’s one-night stand in the doorway. Roamyn’s voice echoes through the hall, deep and pissed off. “Who the hell are you?”
“Jake, what are you doing back here?” I ask, not giving the guy time to answer Roamyn. Mason stills when I use Jake’s name, his body rigid and expression pinched. Jake glances between Mason, Roamyn and myself.
“The lady asked you a question,” Mason, steps up beside me, posture tall, chest out, and I roll my eyes at his macho attitude. He actually looks pissed off. It takes me all of a second to realize why. He thinks Naked Guy is here for me, not Alison. The thought he might be jealous has me grinning for the first time this morning.
“Um, I forgot my wallet,” Jake croaks out, his voice breaking as both badass detectives shoot him looks that could kill.
Turning to me, Mason folds his arms over his torso. “Lindsey, the boy forgot his wallet.”
My eyes bulge at the unspoken insinuation he’s throwing at me.
Ali appears beside Roamyn, but before I can rip Mason’s judgmental ass a new one, she pipes up, “Wow. That was an asshole move.” All eyes land on Alison and all three men appear thoroughly confused.
I lower my hand to my hip and the other out in front of me. “Okay, hold up right there.” I aim at Mason, “Jake here, looks all of eighteen years old. I’m no cougar.
So you can take your judgment and shove it right up your ass.”
“Seriously?” Ali’s voice cracks through the lasers of annoyance I’m shooting into Mason.
Amused, she points between Jake and I. “You actually thought Lindsey would bring a guy home? To her place?” Ali scoffs and Mason grimaces while scrubbing the stubble shadowing his face, obviously regretting his insinuation now.
Roamyn turns to Ali accusingly. “Wait, so he was with you then?”
“Well, yeah, he sure wasn’t screwing Miss Uptight over here.” She nods in my direction.
I roll my eyes. “Real mature, Alison.”
“Um, excuse me but–”
“What?” Cutting Jake off, four sets of pissed off eyes glare at him.
He shrinks back. “Look, if I can just grab my wallet, I’ll get out of your hair.”
“I’ll get it, hold on,” Ali murmurs as she disappears down the hall.
This book was a little confusing starting out but the more I read, the more everything started to make sense. By the last few chapters I was on the edge of my seat wanting more. The story wrapped up pretty nicely but I need more with these characters. There is still plenty of things I need to know about these characters. I can't wait until the next book comes out. This book gets five stars from me. It's a suspenseful romance and I love it.
