Lock & Key by Shaw Hart

Where do your loyalties lie?
Locke Russo has one last job and then he’ll gain his freedom.
He’s been working for the mafia since he was eighteen, paying off a debt. It’s not the life he would have chosen for himself, but he didn’t exactly have a choice.
He’s been tasked with tracking down the mafia boss’s mistress after she stole from him and then skipped town. All he has to do is bring her back to New York and his debt will be paid; he’ll be free to do what he wants with his life.
Then he steps into the apartment and instead of a thieving mistress, he finds an angel.
Keyera Barclave is not the girl Locke is looking for.
She just got to town and moved into her new apartment. When a situation back in New York traps them both in her apartment, she’s given time. Time to prove she’s not the girl he wants. Time to fall for the lonely mafia enforcer.
When their time is up, will Locke believe that he had the wrong girl? Or will he turn his fallen angel over to his boss and finally be free of that life?
She isn’t the girl he’s looking for…but she just might be who he needs.
