Crooked - Paperback

A new, sexy standalone from New York Times Bestsellers Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

The last thing I needed was a live-in bodyguard. And I definitely didn't want him. Six foot two, with broad shoulders that were impossible to ignore and a talent for getting in my way, Wes Callahan was a walking bad decision.

But when you're the daughter of a notorious mob boss, apparently your opinions stop mattering the moment your father ignites another war. I'd spent my entire life trying to escape that crooked world-new name, new city, newfound freedom. At least until I was suddenly shacked up with my new bodyguard.

Wes knew exactly how to push my buttons. He was also infuriatingly protective. And smart. And funny. And thoughtful when he thought I wasn't paying attention. Little by little, the walls I'd built started to crack, and falling for the bodyguard became the most dangerous thing I've ever done. Because if my father found out, Wes wouldn't just lose his job. He'd lose his life.

Getting involved with him was reckless, yet I couldn't find a way to stop it, no matter how hard I tried. But while I was busy losing my heart, the man who took it was hiding a secret.

And it turned out, the most dangerous man in my life wasn't my father after all-it was the one who threatened to break my heart.
