ARCs still available or else you'll have to wait

What happens when a girls' night out turns into:

🔥mistaken identity

🔥organized crime

🔥emotional damage

🔥sexual tension

🔥multiple felonies

What was supposed to be a quick, satisfying revenge stunt spirals into something far more dangerous when Tara realizes their captive isn’t Jordan’s heartbreaker at all. As panic sets in, Tara is forced to neglect or consider unthinkable options to clean up her mess.

The real nightmare begins when Tara’s captive walks into her tattoo shop just days later—alive and very much not someone you want to cross because he isn’t just anyone. He’s the son of one of the most powerful figures in the Irish Mafia.
