Izzy

After being away for ten years, coming home is never easy. Especially since Dad runs a notorious criminal syndicate. Throw in the guy who knocked me up, and then dipped out, is now determined to dismantle the empire I grew up in. Yep my teenage hormones and lady bits did more damage to the family business than fifty years of DAs put together. Oops

So my family hired Mastodon Security to look out for me and my son, Drew. Do they send over some knuckle dragging asshole? Nope. They sent over a masterpiece of a man who's nice to my kid and looks amazing in a suit. Stupid hormones are about to screw me up again.

But then my buzzkill brother informs me, \"Lance will never pick you. He's only loyal to Alana.\" Who's Alana? And why is my family so afraid of her?

Lance

A few days ago I was protecting a pop music icon, and now I'm stuck in the school pickup. And I thought I could be professional. It wasn't a problem in the past.

But Izzy is a perfect storm of sweetness, intelligence, and a wicked sense of humor. And Drew makes me want to be the dad I never had.

My best friend and boss, Alana, warns me that if I screw this up, we'll have to go to war. And we won't win.

Message received. But as the lines between love and loyalty blur, can I navigate this tangled web and find a happy ending without starting a full-blown mob war?
