"Paisley Woods
I return home from college to a nightmare, discovering my parents plan to marry me off. Rather than being forced into a loveless marriage, I grab my cat and embark on an adventurous journey to the Wild West. I may be trying to find myself, but what I find instead is the handsome Jack Graysen. Or rather, he finds me.
Jackson Graysen
Finding people is what I do. I'm the best in the business at bagging and tagging runaways, missing moguls, and runaway reprobates of the rich and famous. The heiress, Paisley Woods, should be no different. At least that was my initial motive—but then I saw her. Now I don't intend to return her. She's mine for the taking, and mine for the keeping. The only problem is, she has no idea who I really am or that her parents hired me to find her. When she discovers the truth, I'll use every tool in my arsenal to keep her by my side, and I have no problems playing dirty."
"Luka Woods
I’m a creature of concrete and metal. Skyscrapers and glass. Killer angles and sharp edges. I like it that way, especially given my penchant for going up against some of the worst of the worst as part of my government hacking work. I’ve never wanted soft, not until I met June. She’s my opposite, everything I’ve avoided, everything I thought I didn’t want. I was so, so wrong.
Her smart mouth and sweet demeanor, the way she gets under my skin and sends heat swirling through my veins—she’s more than I deserve, but I’m a man who always gets what I want. When she runs from me, I’ll chase her down and make her mine. Forever."
"I know an Ace when I see one. And this woman, my Ace of Hearts, is the one play I can’t resist. She’s slick, counting cards and running games in my casino. But no one steals from me without consequence.
Ace may think she’s getting away with it, but I watch her every move. I run the dark side of Vegas, and soon enough I’ll show her just how long my reach truly is. I’m not the only one who wants this sweet little con, but I’m the only one who’ll ever have her.
My Ace of Hearts belongs only to me, whether she knows it or not."
"Easton
From the moment I met Melody, I knew we were meant to be together. She was everything I ever wanted. I couldn’t get enough of her, and I certainly couldn’t stay away. More than anything, I wanted to make her mine forever. But all that changed the day she disappeared without a trace, leaving me with a broken heart and a burning need to find her.
Melody
For five years I’ve lived a false life, one forced upon me by my father’s mistakes. In hiding, I can’t be myself, I can never reveal who I truly am, and I will never again have the love of the man who owns my heart. But maybe it’s better this way. After all, how could he ever look at me the same after what my father did to his family? I know he’ll never forgive me, never want me—and when he finds me and kidnaps me, I know it’s only for revenge."
