Wildfire and Ice
Sienna Calloway has spent her entire life running. City to city, commitment to commitment, never staying long enough to leave a mark. At twenty-six, she's a professional stunt woman with nerves of steel and a philosophy built on one word: freedom. The moment life demands permanence, the walls close in. So she keeps moving.
Until she crashes a motorcycle onto the wrong property at seventy miles per hour.
Dante Moretti does not make mistakes. The cold-hearted kingpin of Chicago's underworld operates with surgical precision and ruthlessness honed over a lifetime of calculated decisions. He rules through fear. Fear has never failed him.
Until a bleeding, furious stunt woman limps toward his car and tells him exactly what she thinks of him.
He should make her disappear. Instead, he offers her a choice: work for him, or vanish permanently. He needs someone fearless, trained, and reckless enough to survive what he's planning. Someone who doesn't scare easily.
Sienna should say no. Everything in her screams to run. But for the first time, running means leaving something she cannot bear to lose.
What begins as a transaction becomes something neither of them anticipated. Dante discovers that control is an illusion when the person you're trying to control refuses to fear you. She challenges everything he thought he believed. Makes him want things he cannot have. Makes him want to be someone other than what he's become.
Sienna discovers that freedom doesn't always mean escape. Sometimes it means standing still. Sometimes it means letting someone in, even when that someone could destroy you.
But loving Dante Moretti means becoming a target. And to save her, he'll have to do the one thing he swore he'd never do.
Let someone close enough to break him.
