New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert continues her smoking-hot series about the O'Malleys-wealthy, powerful, and full of scandalous family secrets. Greed. Ambition. Violence. Those are the "values" Olivia Rashidi learned from her Russian mob family-and the values she must leave behind for the sake of her daughter. When she meets Cillian O'Malley, she recognizes the red flag of his family name . . . yet she still can't stop herself from seeing the smoldering, tortured man. To save her family, Olivia sets out to discover Cillian's own secrets, but the real revelation is how fast-and how hard-she's falling for him. Plagued by a violent past, Cillian is more vulnerable than anyone realizes. Anyone except Olivia, whose beauty, compassion, and pride have him at "hello," even if she's more inclined to say good-bye to an O'Malley. While his proposal of sex with no strings seems simple, what he feels for her isn't, especially after he learns that she belongs to a rival crime family. Cillian knows that there is no escape from the life, but Olivia may be worth trying-and dying-for . . .

Cally, Serena, and Nola are smart, assertive women who are all on the “come-up.” They want things their own way, and that goes for relationships. Each of them has a personal reason why a boyfriend would not fit into her life plans at the moment. For Cally, a freelance writer, she loves her single lifestyle and will not be tied down. For Serena, the makeup artist, the love of her life left town and she is not in any rush to find his replacement. And for Nola, she is way too busy working as a defense attorney to stop and meet a man. The girls are happy despite the fact that their meddling mothers can’t understand why they don’t want to settle down. Their youngest cousin is getting married, making them the last three to remain single. Their mothers are not pleased, and that’s never a good thing. So, they’ve come up with a plan: if they all show up with a date, a man with the appearance and credibility to be presumed husband material, then their mothers will see the potential and cut them some slack. At the wedding, the drama starts to unfold and before you know it, the precious weekend is toppled with love, lust, and lies. Have the girls found themselves in over their heads with this plan? What happens when love finds you when you least expect it?

But that night isn't the end of their entanglement. Jew and Arab, the men are brothers even when murderously jealous. The Gentile woman is between them, but neither can wholly have her. The outcome will be a rupture of the fragile tolerance that unites the threea descent into a bloody triangle.
