Forbidden Desire

I slept with an ex-con because he reminded me of my forbidden crush. But some temptations never die…

When I followed a stranger back to his hotel room, all I wanted was a reckless night of pleasure. I didn't care that he'd just gotten out of prison, or that he reminded me of the dangerous Irish enforcer I'd secretly wanted as a teenager. If anything, it only made me want him more.

I never expected to see him again.

But Chicago's underworld has a way of dragging you back into its darkness, and when our paths cross again, I realize there's far more to this dangerous stranger than I ever imagined.

He's older, harder, and determined to keep his distance. But my debt to the Irish mafia is far from paid, and staying away from him is becoming impossible.

And when danger comes knocking at my clinic, the man I should stay far away from might be the only one who can protect me.

With a war brewing in Chicago, the closer I get to him, the more I risk losing everything I've worked to protect.

He thinks our desire is forbidden. And if we're not careful, it'll burn us both alive.
