When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent.

I wasn’t planning to propose to Raif Jones, the bad boy from the wrong side of town. The one with the tattooed muscles, naughty blue eyes, and dimpled, James-Dean grin. You see, it all started with a series of bad decisions. First was flirting with a dangerous criminal to rescue a little girl I didn’t even know. Second was throwing a massive, masked gala in my small-town hideout (complete with drag queens) and not expecting to draw attention… Then Raif rode in on a motorcycle and melted my undies (and my heart), saying he wouldn’t let anybody hurt me.

I used to love working. There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the auto shop I built from the ground up thriving, showing how far I’d managed to come in this brutal world. Then I hired Piper. Now she’s everywhere. At the front desk all day and right next door all night, infiltrating my life. My thoughts. I can’t deny wanting her, but there’s a line, and my name on the bottom of her paychecks is it.

Agent or not, when your dad is the head of the most notorious arcane crime family in the country, no one believes you when you say you didn’t open that gate to Hell on purpose.

When my former employer comes sniffing around, not only does he keep me alive, but we find out that our pasts are far more connected than either of us realize. And the lies we’ve been told could kill us both.

Mates are supposed to be forever, but nine years ago I found mine sleeping with another man. Every night, I both curse the Moon Goddess for pairing me with such an unfaithful woman and beg her for another chance to find a mate who could love me because a callous and unruly alpha like me isn’t cut out to raise a daughter with a disability on his own.

When the Chaos hits for the first time in nine years, I vow that I would never let another woman get close enough to hurt me again.
