The Payback

Three years have passed since the Mafia took the life of Sage's first love, and the loss has left her with little hope for happiness. She is determined to track down the gunman responsible, no matter how deep she has to venture into Philadelphia's criminal underworld. Her plans would be simpler if the man who recently moved into her building would stop poking into her affairs. Brandon Lewis makes her body ache with want, but she has learned that trusting her heart can cost her everything, and she refuses to hand it over to anyone again.

When the mob learns of her revenge and sends a lethal threat, Brandon reveals that he has his own reasons to hate the same people. He is a gifted hacker, yet he seems strangely unafraid of the city's most dangerous men, and his body bears the look of a fighter, complete with old bullet scars. Joining forces with the protective man next door starts to seem like a risk worth taking. But the more Sage learns about Brandon, the clearer it becomes that he is the last person she should let suffer for her reckless choices. One more mistake, and neither of them would walk away alive.
