The problem is, no one leaves the gang without permission—even if he is one of the boss's top men. Plus, someone's placed a hit on him. And then there's that feisty little bartender who's going to cause him even more trouble. Heidi Greene knows to keep her distance from a ladies' man like Lucas—even if she can't keep her eyes off him. When he rescues her from an attack in the alley outside her bar, she's forced to stay by his side for safety. But the longer she spends time with him, the greater her chances are for getting hurt in more ways than one. Contains mature themes. Review "McLaughlin pairs the ultimate bad boy with a strong female counterpart to deliver an exciting novel where tension mounts on every page. The story provides excellent insight into life on the other side of the law, with the day-to-day life of the criminals portrayed. When love enters the equation, it upsets the carefully established balance."-- "RT Book Reviews (41/2 stars, Top Pick!)"
