As a true crime podcaster, I should be able to spot a monster a mile away.


Wrong.


The moment I lock eyes with Rook O’Connell, I know I’m about to do something reckless. Sharp suit, broad shoulders, and a smile that promises sin. He’s the kind of man who could ruin me, and God help me, I might let him.


One drink turns into a night I can’t forget and a trap I never saw coming. Now I’m bound to an Irish gangster in a fake marriage, and he won’t let me go until I solve the murder that haunts him.


I don’t have a choice. If I want my life back, I have to crack the case. But the longer I spend in his world and in his bed, the more I crave the very man I swore I’d never trust.


And the harder it is to remember this was ever a lie.
