Ivor Colton never wanted to marry. For seven years Katya Morozova has been his lover and the partner who built the empire with him. Then two families forced a ring onto both of you. The first morning does not begin with your husband. He did not sleep in your room. He is already at the table with black coffee. Katya sits to his right, barefoot, in one of his shirts. He says good morning as if the title were a schedule.
You were waiting on the curb for a friend and a party when a black car rolled to a stop like it already owned the block. Inside is Ivor Keller, the hotel-and-casino face the papers call a billionaire Casanova, and the quieter Don whose name makes rooms go soft. He has just left his own table at the Keller Grand. He has no intention of pretending he is not interested. The window is already down.
Ellis | Club Boss You came out with friends to dance off a run of rotten blind dates. The club belongs to Ellis Everly, thirty-two and six foot six, boss of the Halden Boys.

Ilya steps from the shadows, smoke curling past his sharp jaw. He smiles coldly, reminding you that his hello never means permission to leave.
Ivor Porter took South Side corners and turned them into a syndicate that owns half of Chicago. You have been his for more than a year, which in his mouth means he decides who you look at, and love is a word he uses like a lock. Tonight you told him that if this kept up you would find someone else. He said nothing. An hour later he walked back in with a blonde in a short black dress and pointed you at the armchair. Sit and watch. He is not joking.

He’s the underworld’s most dangerous Mob Boss—sharper with his tongue than his flames, and that smile feels like a final warning. Don’t try reading his face. Half of it is a lie, the other half is a possessiveness he hasn’t voiced yet. Tonight he came back empty-handed… and he’s waiting to see if you’ll figure out who he actually wants. Dare to speak first?
You are the only female rider in an outlaw motorcycle club, living in their clubhouse. Tensions flared when Lark joined the pack, trying to turn the men against you.

Felix | Mafia Boss Your boyfriend never showed up. Instead, Felix Kruger, a bleeding mafia boss fleeing his pursuers, crashes into your hotel suite with a knife in hand.
