But against his better instincts, he allows himself to fall for a local female gangster named Alinna, considered to be somewhat of a competitor to Dante because she leads her own all female crew.

That however proves to be a mistake when she discovers Dante is two-timing her with a female gang unit officer.

Hot. Bossy. Complicated. This is how I describe my boss, Zach Cooper. I'm no one special to him. Just his secretary that he pays really well. (One of the reasons why I put up with him.) Zach needed to loosen up. So I did what any good secretary would do. I seduced him. And then, things got even more complicated. We fell in love. Or at least I did. Zach has too many things to worry about. Things that are more important than me and my son. He needs to prove his innocence and save his business.

If we break the rules, our lives will never be the same again. Good thing rules were made to be broken. And besides, it feels so good to tempt the boss.
