DANGEROUS LIAISONS
Survival taught Elon Rivers that his body could be a weapon—just not in the way his stepfather intended. Now he works the con: dress pretty, play helpless, drug them, and disappear with their valuables. It's not honest work, but nothing about Elon's life has ever been honest.
When he targets the wrong mark—Fort Thorne, a mafia enforcer with eyes like a winter grave—his carefully constructed world shatters. Fort knew exactly what Elon was from the moment he walked into that hotel room. The briefcase Elon stole contained information worth killing for, and Fort wants it back.
There's just one problem: Elon's roommate has already stolen it from him, and now Fort is out two million dollars.
Fort's offer is simple: return what was stolen, or work off the debt. Every single Penny.
Trapped in Fort's world of violence and power, Elon discovers that his captor is as damaged as he is, and that the line between hatred and desire is thinner than he ever imagined. But in a world where trust is a luxury neither can afford, falling for the enemy might be the most dangerous con of all.

Chapter: ASSESTS DON'T LIEFORT'S POVI watched Elon from across my office, trying not to let my amusement show. The young con artist was clearly nervous, shifting his weight from foot to foot while Dimitri outlined the Chen job.It had been two days since Elon had signed the contract. Two days of him being sullen and silent, doing exactly what was asked but with all the enthusiasm of a cat being given a bath. I found it entertaining."The gala is black tie," Dimitri was saying. "You'll pose as an investor from out of town. We've created a whole identity for you—""I know how to build a cover story," Elon interrupted."Not like this, you don't." Dimitri pulled up photos on his tablet. "This isn't some drunk tourist you're pickpocketing. Douglas Chen is connected, paranoid, and very, very careful. If he suspects for one second that you're not who you say you are, he'll have security on you before you can blink.""I can handle it.""Can you?" I finally spoke up. "Because your track record suggests otherwise. How'

Chapter: WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFEELON'S POVThe guest room was nicer than any place I'd ever lived. A view of the city that would be stunning if I wasn't too furious to appreciate it.I'd been shown to the room by Dimitri, who'd taken entirely too much pleasure in explaining the "house rules." Don't leave the penthouse without permission. Don't touch Fort's private office. Don't try to run—they'd just catch me and make things worse."Think of it like house arrest," he'd said with a smirk. "Except with better food and a much scarier warden."That had been three hours ago. Since then, I'd been left alone with my thoughts, which was somehow worse than being interrogated. My mind kept replaying the day's disasters on loop. The briefcase. Levi's betrayal. Fort's cold smile. That contract.One year. I'd signed away a year of my life.I kicked the bed frame, immediately regretting it. "Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid."A knock on the door made me jump."Dinner's ready," came Fort's voice through the door. "Don't make me come

Chapter: FALLING INTO FORTThe pounding in my head dragged me back to consciousness. For a disorienting moment, I didn't know where I was. Then it all came rushing back.The briefcase. The celebration. Levi."That son of a bitch," I groaned, forcing my eyes open. I was on the floor of the living room, my cheek pressed against the threadbare carpet. My mouth tasted like death and betrayal. My jaw throbbed where Levi had hit me.How long had I been out? I checked my watch—several hours at least. Late afternoon light filtered through the grimy windows.I pushed myself up, ignoring the way my stomach lurched and my head spun. The coffee table was empty. The briefcase was gone and when I stumbled to Levi's room and threw open the door, I found exactly what I expected: nothing. The room had been cleared out. Levi had taken everything valuable and disappeared."Fuck. Fuck!" I kicked the wall, immediately regretting it as pain shot through my foot. "Goddamn it, Levi!"How could I have been so stupid? I'd been so focuse

Chapter: WINTER EYESFORT'S POVThe world came back in fragments. Muffled voices then the distant knocking. The taste of copper in my mouth.My eyelids felt like lead weights. I tried to lift them, but my body wouldn't cooperate. I knew hangovers but this was something else entirely.The knocking grew louder, more insistent, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater."Boss?" A familiar voice called out. Dimitri.I managed to crack my eyes open. The ceiling spun above me, then slowly settled into focus. I tried to sit up and immediately regretted it as nausea rolled through me in waves."Fuck," I muttered while holding my throbbing head. What the fuck happened to me?The door handle rattled. "Boss, I'm coming in."I wanted to tell him to wait, to give me a goddamn minute, but my brain and my mouth weren't communicating properly. The door opened—Dimitri knew better than to barge into my bedroom unannounced.His footsteps were cautious as he approached the bed. "Boss? You alright?"I finally managed

Chapter: RED DRESS, COLD HANDSELON'S POVThe club was packed tonight. I walked through the entrance, adjusting the red dress that hugged my frame. The silicon implants felt uncomfortable, but they were necessary for the look I was going for.Tonight, I wasn't Elon. I was Elena, the hot and sexy lady. I made my way to the bar, weaving through bodies on the dance floor. The music was loud—some remix I didn't recognize—but I tuned it out. I had work to do.Sliding onto a barstool, I ordered a drink and started scanning the crowd. There were plenty of options tonight. Men in expensive suits, women dripping in jewelry, the usual clientele of Club Azure. I just needed to find the right one.My drink arrived and I took a slow sip, letting my eyes drift across the room. That's when I noticed him—mid-forties, tailored suit, expensive watch. He was sitting in one of the VIP sections, surrounded by men who looked like they worked for him. More importantly, he had a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist.Perfect.I was still watc
