Fit for a King

At the underground casino I run, my word is law. Liars and cheats think they can play me, but I enjoy proving them wrong—usually with a baseball bat. I built my reputation on control, on knowing when to play my hand and when to break a few bones.

There’s nothing I love more.

Well, almost nothing.

Carina Williams is off-limits. She’s bold, confident, and so stunning it’s a sin. She works the high rollers, charming them out of their money with nothing more than a smile and a knowing look. She’s the best at what she does—and the one thing I can’t have.

I’ve spent months watching her, wanting her, barely stopping myself from staking my claim. Until one night, I don’t.

One taste, and I know I’ll never let her go. But passion makes a man reckless, and I let my guard down at the worst possible moment. When a girl goes missing, and danger lurks closer than I ever expected, keeping Carina safe isn’t enough—I need to make this right.

But with the clock ticking and my sins catching up to me, I might have to risk everything… including the only woman I’ve ever loved.
