Trust by P.J. Adams

Never trust a man who says, “Trust me.”

Love strikes in the most unusual places, but can it really take root in a London criminal underworld threatened by Russian mobsters? And can Jess ever learn to trust a gangster like Dean?

Jess:
It’s time for a fresh start. Time to make amends for all the bad things I’ve done. The mistakes. All the people I’ve let down.

But when one good deed exposes betrayals and feuds buried in my family’s tragic past it’s like pulling at a loose thread. One thing leads to another and then another, and then I’m in too deep and it all leads me to him.

Dean Bailey: part gentleman, part cold-blooded gangster, and nobody’s idea of Mr Right.

Dean:
I’m sorted. I’m the man. And I’m ruthless.

She changes everything though. The girl. Jess. She just waltzes in here, poking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Some cock and bull story about family connections, but I don’t swallow any of that.

She’s out to get me but I’m one step ahead. All I have to do is give her a bit of the charm, that disarming grin, and say, “Trust me.”

After that she’s mine. They always are.
