William:
When you’re a lawyer in Vegas, it pays to have the Mob as a client. It comes with all kinds of perks. But one perk I never expected was to be handed a beautiful woman as “compensation” for all my hard work.
Cara is young, scared and sexy as Hell. I want to help her–but if I refuse the “gift” she’ll still be a slave, and I’ll be angering the most powerful and dangerous family in the West. So now she’s staying with me…growing on me every day. Tempting me. Stealing my heart.
I shouldn’t touch her. I shouldn’t take advantage. But we both want it.
How do I show her that my feelings are real when someone else made her my property?

Cara:
My life went straight to Hell when my father handed me off to the Mob to pay off his gambling debts. Now I’m their property–and I know what they’re going to use me for. My body is now compensation for one of their guys–a mob lawyer. I hate him before I even see him.
But once I see him, once I talk to him, it’s hard to keep hating. He wasn’t expecting this either. He says he doesn’t want to see me suffer. He wants me…and he can’t let me go without insulting the Mob. And I want him…in spite of everything.
Can I trust him when he says he loves me? Or am I always going to be his possession?
