“All criminals need to be punished in some way. Maybe not jail. That’s why there’s probation. Fines.”

“Your brother doesn’t know shit about why I stuck around. I’m here because I also need to settle Cormac’s debts.”

And to tie you to my bed and fuck you again and again, sparkles.

Somewhere in between, I need to pay a visit to Lazaro Scava, the Borgia underboss, who made a shitty deal with Cormac then sent a hitman to kill Darragh as punishment.

We’re no match for the Borgias, threats against his house to get even won’t fly. But to ignore what they did to Darragh is a sign of weakness.

Vance is taking a swing at them. We may be a smaller house, but big empires like Borgia have enemies. Enough of them will form a coalition.

“What’s the name of the book?”

She tilts her head. “Why?”

“Curious to see what you like to read.”

“Some Chick-Lit, sisters fighting thing.” A blush stains her cheeks when she lies.

I’ve already looked at her Audible App.

It’s nothing but smut.

“What time is your meeting?” I fold my arms, knowing I’ll check her calendar.
