Maeve Quinlan

After whiskey, betrayal, and the undeniable urge to spite her cheating, gay ex, Maeve Summers had a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger. Six years later, former detective turned journalist Maeve is horrified to discover he was Aurelian Morgenstein, the mysterious mafia lord she must interview to save her crumbling career. With piercing blue eyes and a jet-black serpent tattoo coiling around his hand, Elian is every bit as tempting as he is dangerous. Especially when her five-year-old daughter, Sia, shares his infamous gaze. Now, Maeve must decide what’s more at risk: her career, her heart, or the truth about Sia’s father.

Sa patong-patong na utang na kinakaharap, hindi na alam ni Maeve kung sino pa ang tatakbuhan. Idagdag pa ang nanay niya na nasa loob ng kulungan at pakikiapid ng kanyang kasintahan. Kung kailan handa niya ng bitawan si Drake ay siya namang pagsulpot ni Xavier sa buhay niya. Ang tiyuhin ng dating fiancee, hindi lamang ginulo ang kanyang utak, isinama na rin ang kanyang puso na inakala niyang nanahimik at isa ng bato. Sa pang-aakit ng tiyuhin nito, handa ba niyang ipagkatiwala ang sarili dito? Sa pagdating ni Xavier sa buhay niya, mararamdaman niya na ba ang kasiyahan na inaasam-asam?
