A murdered friend. Russian mobsters. And the one man Rebecca Mayfield isn’t sure she can trust.

When San Francisco Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield investigates the murder of an old friend, the case takes her far outside her jurisdiction—and straight into the dangerous world of Russian mobsters.

The deeper Rebecca digs, the more determined someone becomes to silence her permanently. And the only person who seems to know what she’s up against is Richie Amalfi, the charming fixer who has a decidedly casual attitude toward the law—and far too much knowledge about the people hunting her.

Rebecca doesn't trust Richie. She certainly doesn't understand him. But when her investigation turns deadly, he's the one man willing to put himself between her and a killer. As danger draws them closer, Rebecca begins to discover that the case holds secrets far more personal than she imagined—including secrets about her own heart.

But before Rebecca can figure out whether Richie is her best ally or her most dangerous temptation, she has to stay alive long enough to solve the murder.
