From Liliana Hart’s New York Times bestselling MacKenzie family comes a new story by New York Times bestselling author Cristin Harber…
When Luke Brenner takes an off-the-books job on the MacKenzie-Delta joint task force, he has one goal: shut down sex traffickers on his personal hunt for retribution. This operation brings him closer than he’s ever been to avenge his first love, who was taken, sold, and likely dead.
Madeleine Mercier is the daughter of an infamous cartel conglomerate. Their family bleeds money, they sell pleasure, they sell people. She knows no other life, sees no escape, except for one. Maddy is the only person who can take down Papa, when every branch of law enforcement in every country, is on her father’s payroll.
It’s evil. To want to ruin, to murder, her family. But that’s what she is. Ruined for a life outside of destroying her father. She can’t feel arousal. Has never been kissed. Never felt anything other than disgust for the world that she perpetuates. Until she clashes with a possible mercenary who gives her hope.
The hunter versus the virgin. The predator and his prey. When forced together, can enemies resist the urge to run away or destroy one another?
Excerpt
The truth was she was a victim of her father, of circumstances, trying her hardest to make right with the only certainties she had known. No one could help her to the extent she needed. But the other truth was Luke was still touching her, and that topsy-turvy, warm feeling of arousal was attraction. An unfamiliar feeling that had never occurred before was happening with her enemy.
“Please remove your hand from me.” Though she wanted anything but.
He stepped closer, letting their sides touch. This was what the fuss was, what made people stupid—the crushes, the cravings, the need, and the love. A shock of awareness moved through her stomach, deep to where she already wanted him, and it scared the hell out of her.
“Why would I?” He bent down and growled close to her ear. “Tell me a reason.”
A thousand reasons and realities should have fallen off her tongue, yet none would come. Strands of her hair fell across her cheek, and his hot breath made them tickle he skin.
“You think you know so much.” Her voice shook, almost a whimper. Something she needed but could never have stood before her, and if it never happened again for the rest of her life, she would miss the high.
Towering over her, he leaned in. “I do.”
“You’re wrong,” she promised.
