Leonid Markovich is everything Sheridan Kincaid is not looking for in a man.
He’s handsome, manipulative, and a member of the New York Syndicate. He’s a criminal in an expensive suit.
But when he comes to her rescue and saves her six-year-old niece from the Mexican cartel, she thinks maybe he’s not so bad.
Maybe Leonid has a heart. Maybe he’s not an asshole.
He
proves her wrong when he demands payment because he’s not a hero and
for every good deed, there is a price. To keep her niece safe, Sheridan
will pay that price, even if that price includes all of her tears, every
drop of her blood, every ounce of her pride, and last but not least,
all of her heart.
This author does it again. I almost feel guilty for how much I enjoyed this series and this story. It's different, definitely different because of Sheridan's motivations. But still well written and loaded with plenty of tension and the danger that you expect.
Sheridan wants no part of The Syndicate or the mob and their lifestyle. Too bad her brother Jamal just can't keep out of dangerous, outside the law trouble. He's going to cost her a lot more than just her fear which she has been neck deep in.
Her niece is only six years old but Kennedy has endured so much in her short amount of years. But she also brought smiles with some of her spunk when she wasn't being terrorized. Sheridan would do anything to protect her and that pretty much shows.
Leo, Leo, Leo what a guy you turned out to be. Bad to the bone, oh yes. Totally loyal to the "brothers" that he leads with the rest of The Syndicate, that's another yes. He's also been searching for Sheridan since he protected her at a shootout. Heck, he took a bullet for her without knowing her name. His attraction/semi obsession is real.
Jose, the cartel leader who murdered his father and brother so that he could be the power makes Sheridan's life a living hell. The actions that happen are edge of the seat as well as emotional. There is sexual heat that happens between Sheridan and Leo and it was going to happen sooner or later.
Everything ends well, with some people having an violent end. And follows up with a good Epilogue which I appreciated.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
