Blood Money by Cynthia Rayne

How far would you go to protect someone you love?

When Jasper Tan joined the Lone Star Mafia, his family said he’d dishonored the Tan name and turned their backs on him. Jasper vowed to never let anyone get close again, until he met Victoria Hale. Vick is a hacker and the outfit’s secret weapon when it comes to digging up dirt on folks. They’ve become the best of friends and Lord knows Jasper wants much more, but will he risk letting her in?

Vick put her family first as well. Her older brother, Jackson Hale, has been fighting an addiction for years and she’s stayed by his side. Jack owed money to some dangerous people. To save him, Vick struck a scandalous arrangement with Simon Caldwell. Infatuation turned to obsession, and Simon is a cold-hearted, ruthless bastard who’ll stop at nothing to keep Vick.

Simon’s also threatening to expose her secrets. Vick hasn’t been completely honest with Jasper about her past. In her experience, men place women into one of two categories: ones who meet their mothers, and others who are just for fun. Vick wants to be in that first group. How will Jasper react when he learns the truth?

Can he protect her? And will these friends become lovers?
