Basilisk’s Vengeance by Noah Maddix

She tried to run. He was determined to chase her down.

I had to get away from my life in California. Working in the brothel was going to kill me and had already started in on my spirit. My mark in North Carolina is my way out. A path to a new life. It’s the perfect plan… Until Baz shows up. Born and bred to lead the West Coast Outfit, he’s relentless. And he won’t stop until he brings me back home. Just not until we take down this target together. The family is rich and oozes Southern charm. It should be easy. But my feelings for Baz and what happens when we’re along together complicates it all. So does the dark secret our marks are hiding. One that could end up getting both of us killed.
