City of Wind and Lies

Wren James: A hookup with a masked man who sent my cheating ex running down the alley? Count me in.
I never expected to see him again, least of all at my new hire orientation a few weeks later.
Yet, here I am, cornered by him in the breakroom. I’ve seen the power these hands hold—the way they can go from damaging to delicate in a matter of moments. Now, they’re just inches away from mine.
Bowie, my one-night stand turned boss with benefits.
The more time I spend around him the more I suspect he’s involved with something beyond this investment firm. Yet there’s something so dangerously beautiful about this man, the same way a shard of glass shimmers in the light. If I dare to trace his jagged edges, I wonder how long it’ll be before they make me bleed?
Bowie Sorrentino: Loyalty means everything to the family, second only to legacy. My father reminds me of that every time he points out I still don’t have an heir. As the head of the Chicago outfit, at the age of thirty-seven, you’d expect I’d have a wife and a couple of brats by now, but none of the women I’ve met have been worth my time.
Until the night I met her. She changed everything. She changed me.
The closer we get, the more willing I am to trade my life for hers. The question lingers—will she willingly trade her normalcy for a life cast with shadows of violence? And if she does, can I ever truly keep her safe?
